However, these radiological changes have been shown to be weak predictors of patient satisfaction (Wilson et al. 2002).
Applying the diagnostic criteria in table 2 revealed the risk factors 3 to be weak predictors of the syndrome.
Based on these findings, we concluded that the baseline CD8+ T-cell counts/percentages might be weak predictors of disease progression.
It is noteworthy that seeing a preferred GP emerged as a key predictor in the analysis, but continuity with the doctor and GP confidence were found to be weak predictors of empowerment.
Surrogate endpoints are measured that may at best be weak predictors of a relevant health outcome – or particularly sensitive endpoints, most probably to show a positive response, may be chosen [ 7, 8].
Our study has shown that although MCM proteins provide prognostic information in breast cancer, these markers are likely to be weak predictors of outcome due to their high-level expression in poorly differentiated tumours.
were weaker predictors of depression, and were uncorrelated with computationally-generated features.
In isolation, odd-ordered correlations were weaker predictors of motion than second-order correlations.
Mastery goals were also the strongest predictors of educational outcomes such as grades, intention for further schooling, and valuing for school, while the other types of goals such as performance, social, and extrinsic goals were weaker predictors of these outcomes.
The highest coefficients of determination were showed by F1Amp (R2 = 0.80, Fig. 5C), stiffness (R2 = 0.69, Fig. 5A) and E1Amp (R2 = 0.51, Fig. 5D) measured in the first half-cycle, whereas the other parameters were weaker predictors of RA severity (viscosity: R2 = 0.38, Fig. 5B; RI: R2 = 0.36; ERI: R2 = 0.33).
