1 7 Whether these associations reflect adverse health effects of NO2 has been a matter of debate. 1 The uncertainty about causality arises largely because of the close correlations between NO2 and other air pollutants in the mixture of traffic-related pollutants, some of which are more plausible toxicants.
Because of the close correlation between the type of specimen tested (bulk stool or enriched rectal swab) and the treatment received by the patient (IV or no IV rehydration) we compared the performance characteristics of the rapid test in four subgroups.
Because of the close correlation between disease severity, intravenous rehydration and the type of specimen collected, the performance characteristics were assessed in four subgroups based on the specimen collected (bulk stool or enriched rectal swab) and treatment received (intravenous fluids or no intravenous fluids).
Because of the close correlation with actively feeding larvae, it was proposed that the emission of m/ z 60 may be used as a marker to discriminate between infested and uninfested roots (Crespo et al. 2012).
Because of the close correlation between S100A14 and HER2 expression in breast cancer, the prognosis of S100A14-positive patients could be affected by HER2 status when prognosis was analyzed using standard statistical methods.
In multivariate analysis, each marker was examined separately because of the close correlation between them (correlation coefficients between 0.5 and 0.7, P < 0.001).
The integrity of the outer retinal layers and particularly the photoreceptor layer has gained much interest because of its close correlation with visual function [ 12].
Because of the close correlation between sitting, typing, and VDT work, there is no clear evidence as to which of these factors is the main predictor for neck (or other) musculoskeletal symptoms.
The Chapman's formula was confirmed by some reports to be valuable because of the close correlation between the predicted and the measured pullout strength [ 3, 4, 7, 11, 17].
