Research into rehabilitation has maintained the binary construct of stroke rehabilitation, by focusing separately on treatment aspects in developed and developing countries.
Since we did not have the original IPD, the only technique was to assume a dichotomous outcome (binary variable for stroke at 7 days: present = Yes =1 and absent = No =0) and include the ABCD rule as a single, independent predictor.
Due to few observations of coronary thrombosis, coronary disease, and stroke, a binary variable was created indicating if an individual reported having any cardiovascular disease (coronary thrombosis, coronary disease, or stroke).
Analyses to examine the extent to which treatment-related changes in protein concentrations between baseline and 1 year following randomization can provide an explanation for E-alone and E + P effects on CHD and stroke, also relied on binary logistic regression.
Forget the old tedious phonic route to literacy: just get the child to "absorb" the page and it could read; no more tables by rote, no more numbers, just strokes on the page and binary concepts and everyone could do sums.
The dependent variables used are: hypertension; coronary thrombosis; coronary disease; stroke; and cardiovascular disease, and a binary variable indicating whether participants had any cardiovascular disease (CVD), i.e. coronary thrombosis, coronary disease, or stroke.
The items referring to stroke and to kidney failure were already binary variables.
Disease history was indexed by binary indicators for reporting having had arthritis, cancer, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, lung disease, heart disease, a previous hip fracture, or psychological problems.
The complexity increases with the realization that no binary outcome is truly unambiguous: deaths can be painful or painless, strokes can be mild or severe, and myocardial infarctions can be large and complicated or small and uncomplicated.
First, we estimated the high sensitivity and high specificity approaches using all 5,511 participants and included a binary marker reflecting any self-reported history of pre-baseline stroke.
Compared with those of traditional algorithms, binary images generated by our architecture have cleaner background and better-preserved strokes.
