In such cases, and in cases where baseline measurement were discarded for poor quality, changes in CEUS-derived parameters were compared to the nearest baseline available.
Methods: We reviewed our institutional database of VA-ECMO from November 2008 to September 2015 (n = 179), including those with age more than 18 years old and baseline available data.
N = 195, representing patients with ≥ 1 radiograph with the mSASSS evaluable throughout follow-up (not necessarily at baseline available).
The observed differences do not always show predictable patterns when comparing the parent trial cohort with the questionnaire study's baseline, available case, and complete case cohorts.
Our RRI model was derived from the 2012 MetaMapped MEDLINE baseline (available at: http://skr.nlm.nih.gov/resource/MetaMappedBaselineInfo.shtml), which includes UMLS concepts extracted by the MetaMap package from 20,494,848 MEDLINE citations.
corrected using temporary baselines; made available less than three months after their acquisition; and.
fRecorded at baseline, if available; as applicable post-baseline.
One subject was lost to follow up after the baseline visit and had no post-baseline data available for analysis.
Also, adjusted analyses did not control for baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score as a large proportion of patients did not have baseline scores available (≥55%).
Table 2 shows multivariable regression estimates of baseline factors associated with death and LTFU after 12 months of treatment in patients with all baseline measurements available (n = 18 866).
