The nuances of language will create differences in the applicability, not just for different countries, but also within a country and between different settings (such as during an influenza pandemic) [ 4].
Care setting trajectories are a combination of moves between different settings.
Estimates of the prevalence of sexual coercion point to highs in settings with an elevated prevalence of HIV/AIDS, as in South or East Africa, although this prevalence varies considerably between different settings [ 4, 15, 18, 21- 23].
Therefore the interfaces between different settings should be improved, too.
Mapping connections between different settings may help shed light on important safety issues which affect the quality of patient care, such as continuity of care between settings and discharge practice.
As mentioned, the main objective of the scoring system was to allow the comparison between different settings in the medical ward.
Medical outcome studies use generic instruments to compare results between different settings with different case mixes.
On an individual level, some patients showed large differences between BP measurements at the different settings, as shown by histograms for systolic OBP−SMOBP, OBP−HBP, and SMOBP−HBP (Fig. 1a c).
Studies included were conducted under different settings as discussed, such as different aspirin dosage, patients characteristic, statistical analysis method, and so onn, which would lead to the heterogeneity between studies.
