Results: The Utah State University (USU) concussion protocol employed baseline objective measures including the Standardized Assessment of Concussion™ (SAC) and the Balance Error Scoring System™ (BESS).
Baseline objective tumour measurements were performed within 4 weeks prior to study treatment.
An independent sample t-test was used to determine significant differences between the intervention and control schools for baseline objective measurements (p < 0.05 was significant).
It is feasible to use accelerometers to collect baseline objective physical activity data by post from a large number of participants in a limited time period.
These risk categories represent the baseline objective CLTR of developing breast cancer, based on the tables of Claus (Claus et al, 1994).
The aim was to investigate which baseline variables predict a stable return-to-work during a 2-year period after baseline: objective variables from function tests, socioeconomic, subjective and/or treatment variables.
We have shown that it is feasible to use accelerometers to collect baseline objective physical activity data by post from a large number of participants in a limited time period.
This paper reports and reflects on the practical issues, challenges and results of rapid baseline objective physical activity measurement using accelerometers distributed by post in a natural experimental study.
The aim of this paper is to report and reflect on the practical issues, challenges and results of this exercise in rapid baseline objective physical activity measurement in a natural experimental study.
Given that late third trimester sleep is disturbed compared with sleep before pregnancy 7 and that labour and birth and the hospital environment interfere with women's sleep, there is no valid baseline objective measurement for postpartum women's sleep in either late pregnancy or the immediate postpartum.
With our accepted baseline of objective evidence that can usually be confirmed empirically, scientists will not and should not long entertain ideas or statements that lack a strong objective base: real data collected in valid scientific observations, studies, and experiments.
