The point estimate ICER lies below this threshold, demonstrating laparoscopic surgery as cost-effective.
One hundred per cent of the simulations conducted fell below both thresholds, demonstrating that each of the pediatric vaccination strategies tested in this model can be considered to be very cost-effective and that the results of the economic evaluation as robust.
This work demonstrates that below a threshold value, defined as transition length, these stress concentration factors cease to be valid and, notably, also demonstrates that below this threshold the magnitude of the stated factors may be significantly larger than existing values; a fact that may have important consequences for the accurate estimates of fatigue life.
was identified, but films cycled below the threshold strain demonstrated robust performance, with only negligible changes in resistivity through 2000 bending cycles.
In an HBV-infected person who performs EPPS, it has to be demonstrated twice yearly that the HBV viremia remains below this threshold.
Sequences below this threshold were compared phylogenetically without bootstrapping to exclude sequences outlying those with previously demonstrated function, those from the included metagenomic study [41] or organisms lacking appropriate carotenoid biosynthetic enzyme homologs.
Brain-tissue hypoxia was defined as brain-tissue oxygen tension <20 mm Hg, based on previous studies [ 14, 21] demonstrating increased odds for poor outcome and metabolic distress below this threshold value.
Brain tissue hypoxia was defined as PbtO2 < 20 mmHg, based on previous studies demonstrating a higher risk of metabolic distress and poor outcome below this threshold value [ 19, 20].
Comparison of patients with ratios below and above this threshold using Kaplan-Meier curves for progression-free survival (Fig. 5) demonstrated that survival times were significantly longer (p<0.05) in patients presenting with values below this threshold.
In the present study, subjects with an income below this threshold were considered "below risk of poverty threshold".
