It is unknown whether these findings are applicable to more homogeneous, specialized populations (eg patients with burns or trauma, or patients undergoing central nervous system surgery) because of lack of study inclusion or insufficient enrolment numbers.
Figure 1 show details of study inclusion.
First, we could not examine the validity of the INRUD-IAA indicators as predictors of patient dropout because study inclusion criteria required patients to remain in treatment for 4 to 6 months.
Comparing recovery rates with previous studies is difficult because of the many variables, such study inclusion criteria, the duration of absence of DPP and loss of motor function, type of surgery performed and definition of successful outcome.
Six of the drivers who refused to participate were apprehended by the police before study inclusion because of positive alcohol breathalyzer test.
The case fatality rate after myocardial infarction, according to the scores within one year, is presented in Figure 3. Currently, there is no consensus on the incidence of multivessel atherosclerosis because of the different diagnostic approaches and study inclusion criteria.
CT scan evidence of intracranial hemorrhage was a study inclusion requirement, because it suggests a history of mechanical brain trauma.
Because the duration of flea control, prior to study inclusion, may influence the outcome of such trials, a recent study suggests that dogs should be on flea prevention for at least 3 months prior to study enrollment [ 11 ].
Of the retrieved records, 122 were rejected because they did not meet study inclusion criteria (e.g., case reports, editorials, commentaries, assessed medications other than ADs).
Of these, 30 were excluded following a full-text review because they did not meet our study inclusion criteria.
