A baseline situation analysis was conducted in the five PRIME study sites (Nepal, India, Ethiopia, Uganda and South Africa), to describe the factors relevant to the development and implementation of a district-level mental health care plan [ 18].
Because FFM is a critical determinant of REE and FFM is highly collinear with REE, baseline REE was expressed as the standardized residual of REE as follows: a linear regression analysis was conducted with baseline REE as the outcome and baseline FFM the predictor.
20 The primary outcome was the proportion of subjects who lost at least 5% or 10% of their baseline body weight, and the analysis was conducted using a defined intention-to-treat approach with the last observation carried forward.
The observed attrition rate (48%) is comparable to that observed in other childhood obesity treatment interventions 66 and as the children who completed did not differ from the baseline population, a complete case analysis was conducted to explore the impact of the intervention for children who completed GOALS.
Analysis was conducted at baseline and at 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up assessments in accord with the "intention-to-treat" principle (ITT).
This analysis was conducted using baseline, cross-sectional data from a prospective, controlled study of an intervention to improve care for individuals with type 2 diabetes [ 20].
One post-study subgroup analysis was conducted for baseline total corneal damage (elevated or not elevated), as discussed in this article.
The analysis was conducted using baseline HRQoL data of the VFQ-25 and the EQ-5D, on a modified intent-to-treat sample of 235 patients.
A split-sample exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using baseline data and resulted in unidimensional scales for men (17 items) and women (13 items), with higher scores representing more equitable gender norms.
A sensitivity analysis was conducted by adjusting for baseline differences between groups by using baseline data as a covariate in the mixed-effects model.
