For the purposes of this review, 'patient characteristics' were demographic data and 'clinical characteristics' were defined as baseline clinical parameters, baseline measures of renal size and function, and characteristics that were not influenced by changing renal parameters, e.g. genotype (Table 1).
But while her characteristics are defined, her character isn't.
Baseline characteristics were summarized for groups defined by different categories of baseline HbA1c (<5.5 5.90–5.4, 5.5–5.9, and 6.0 6.4%).
Baseline characteristics were summarized in the two groups defined by the primary end point (good or poor neurologic outcomes).
Baseline characteristics were measured in 1979, with obesity defined as a BMI over the 95th percentile of the distribution in NHANES, given an individual's age and sex.
Baseline characteristics were collected, using these systems, as defined in the minimal dataset of NICE, which includes general characteristics, such as age, sex, acute and chronic diagnoses, number of admissions, mortality and standardized mortality ratio, Variable Life-Adjusted Display curve, start time and end time of mechanical ventilation, and discharge data from the ICU and hospital.
Baseline characteristics were compared according to sex and 24UV defined as low and high according to the lowest and highest quartile of 24UV.
Baseline characteristics were comparable.
Baseline characteristics were collected.
Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups.
