Patients (56%), family (22%), and other non-health care professionals (14%) were studied more often than health professionals (nurses (21%), physicians (11%), and others (5%)).
Numerous microscale tools have been developed [ 5], reflecting a recognition that the details of streetscapes are likely to affect experience and behavior beyond macro-level variables (e.g., street connectivity) that are studied much more often.
Such a lack of data hinders the understanding of risk factors for different causes of deaths, although HIV-related deaths have recently been studied in more detail, often within specific studies rather than from vital registration.
Since this unexpected difference suggested that patients diagnosed by densitometry were being entered into the study more often than patients diagnosed due to a fracture, a post hoc analysis was performed to compare these two groups of patients (Table 1).
The 78 participants that were not included in the present study more often had primary school education only, myocardial infarction, COPD and incontinence (data not shown).
As some characteristics are correlated (e.g. mortality studies are often prospective, US studies are more often prospective than elsewhere, and studies using lung function criteria are commonly cross-sectional) it is not straightforward to identify underlying effects.
None of the genes studied were significantly more often amplified in male breast cancer.
Human TBCD (HsTBCD) has been reported to behave differently when overexpressed to the bovine protein (BtTBCD) [24], which was the first TBCD isolated and has therefore been more often studied in vitro and in vivo [6], [8].
The LORA patients in the present study were more often treated with corticosteroids, which are known to have a capacity to rapidly reduce disease activity, early in the course of disease progression.
Several reviews described a negative correlation between study quality and outcome (better studies were more often negative; for example [ 9, 11, 13]).
