This created a self-regulated standardised baseline, meaning that all participants felt satiated to their usual level after breakfast.
Furthermore, the population was in their 50s at baseline, meaning that they are quite stable in their occupations.
Study groups were found to be statistically significant different in all resistance cores at baseline, meaning group 1 scores were higher than those of group 0 (Table 3).
Given that the focus of the qualitative work is on "explaining" the quantitatively measured changes produced by the intervention, there is no need for a qualitative data collection at baseline, meaning before the intervention has even started.
19 21 For the purpose of this study, RA patients in remission at baseline, meaning at the time the new agent was initiated, defined by CDAI ≤2.8, were excluded from the study population (switching while in remission is seen when cost or tolerability influences medication use).
Although the goals were only fixed in the aftermath of the declaration and designed to expire in 2015, many of them used 1990 statistics for their baseline targets, meaning they, in effect, measured progress over a 25-year period.
I think that what I call baseline tennis — meaning, now they're old, now they're young, now they're old, now they're young — that kind of movie, back and forth, is boring.
To be included in the study, patients were also required to be naïve to OP pharmacotherapy during the baseline period, meaning that they could not have any claims for oral or intravenous BIS (alendronate, ibandronate, risedronate, zoledronic acid) or non-BIS (calcitonin, raloxifene, teriparatide).
This is because minimisation balances baseline variables marginally, meaning that although variables are balanced, their interactions are not.
Supraliminal nouns were either preceded by a semantically related (fisher → angler) or unrelated (credit → hill) subliminal noun, or by a string of consonants (no meaning; baseline condition).
False-positive results from inflammation are seen, however, and not every tumour is hypermetabolic, meaning baseline maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) are critical.
