However, reduced joint counts are appropriate and valid tools for formal disease activity assessment, such as done in composite indices.
However, Kapral et al (2007) compared a 28-joint count with a 32-joint count (including ankles and MTP joints) in composite indices and concluded that reduced joint counts (without ankles and MTP joints) in composite indices are appropriate and valid tools for disease activity assessment [ 9].
However, I believe that it was appropriate and remains valid.
The guidelines would examine issues like anthropologists' responsibility to provide assistance when their study subjects experience health emergencies; what is "appropriate and fair" remuneration to the subjects; and what constitutes "valid and appropriate informed consent" by subjects.
To allow the experience of patients to be the focus of the primary outcome in a clinical trial, we recommend that the measures used should be appropriate, reliable, valid, responsive, precise, interpretable, acceptable, and feasible.
With regard to weight loss, we assumed that the criterion of weight loss that was applied to the same ethnicity (i.e., Asian) would be more appropriate and valid, as Asians generally have a smaller build than Westerners [ 16].
It's one reason why I think a missile defense system is an appropriate and valid investment for the country.
Given the differences in perceptions of diversity for bacterial and eukaryotic microbes, including divergent species concepts, HTS tools used to eliminate errors and population-level variation in bacteria may not be appropriate for microbial eukaryotes and may eliminate valid species from the data.
The choice of outcome measures that are appropriate or valid is critical to a fair evaluation of the effects of case management in community aged interventions.
Teller has been criticized for drawing unduly far-reaching ontological conclusions from one particular representation, in particular since the Fock space representation cannot be appropriate in general because it is only valid for free particles (see, e.g., Fraser 2008).
