The purpose of including these covariates was to generate different estimates of mortality, depending on the baseline characteristics of populations.
As was the case for Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi in 2005, many communities do not have a baseline of a population with access to preventative healthcare, adequate treatment for existing conditions, or access to medical records in an emergency.
These data provide a whole-of-population baseline of bereavement help-seeking.
One of the main strengths of Pedianet is the reliability of its baseline population of children registered with individual PCPs working within the Italian national health service.
These values were constant across the range of population baseline CD4 medians (Figure 3a).
‡‡High attrition; completers analysis; no baseline data for part of population.
Of the baseline population of adults with diabetes at Group Health Cooperative, 34% completed the process of identity verification to gain access to secure messaging and other advanced services.
Of the baseline population of 4,146 mothers, 186 (5%) were lost to follow-up before any data on the child had been collected.
Careful consideration of baseline population dynamics should be made prior to treatment in order to fully assess possible PZP effects.
Additional details of baseline study population characteristics are shown in Tables S1 and S2.
