For local and regional scale modelling, it is important that substrate, current velocity/direction and sediment data be included when available.
In a multicenter study of one university hospital, two community hospitals and one private hospital, newly admitted adult patients were included when reaching a Glasgow coma scale greater than 10.
All consecutive patients with a minimum age of 18 years and a stay of at least 24 hours in the intensive care unit were included when reaching a Glasgow Coma Scale of at least 10.
This is a small concern when the instrument is used for large-scale performance monitoring, but may be a weakness if it is to be included in small-scale quality improvement documentation.
When fat-free mass was included as scaling variable, all models showed significant variation at level 1. Regarding variation at level 2, all models presented significant portion of variation between individuals remaining to be explained at the intercept, that is, pretraining status.
Pain: a pain-associated scale will be included (eg, visual analogue scale or numerical rating scale).
In two cases (#2a, #9a) our results were different from Hamandi's previous single-subject analysis results when fewer confounds were included (no global scaling and 6 scan realignment parameters with their first order expansion in [23]).
On the other hand, it is only when severe cases are included that the scale will be induced to show a significant ceiling effect.
Indeed, we noted in one subgroup (ET-2 metastatic patients less than 10 years with no pelvic involvement) that the estimate of the fraction cured was raised by as much as 4.9% when prognostic factors were included for the scale and shape parameters as well as for the cure fraction itself.
When not all original items are included in the scales and dimensions, we report it in this section.
