We first verified that our populations at baseline were representative.
Baseline participants were representative of demographic variables of the population [ 28].
10 Baseline characteristics were representative of patients for each condition (table 1).
Participant baseline characteristics were representative of the UK care home population for age, sex balance, and levels of support needed.
As biomarker data were available for 88 97% of patients across both trials, it was assumed that the baseline characteristics were representative of the overall population.
Demographic and baseline features were representative of the overall phase II study population: WHO Performance Status 0, 25 (89%), CIRS primary/intermediate, 2/26.
The two groups had similar baseline features and were representative of identified primary care diabetes patients.
The two groups of patients were well balanced in terms of baseline characteristics and were representative of the wider population of patients undergoing resurfacing arthroplasty in the UK during this period of recruitment.
A total of 3107 subjects were enrolled in the baseline examination (1992 1993) and were representative of the Dutch older population.
Importantly, completers and non completers were similar in all but one of the baseline characteristics, suggesting that completers were representative of the total study population.
