Author BvC was in clinical charge of the patients in the antenatal clinic.
The final scoring solution is presented in Table 2. Adding these scores to the summed BVC resulted in a new scale ranging from 0 to 12.
I present a case study designed to investigate the phonetics basis of the Back Vowel Constraint (BVC), found in many non-Bantu and non-Cushitic click languages.
BVC participated in the design of the study, the development of the methodology and helped to draft the manuscript.
BVC participated in the study design, performed the statistical analysis, constructed the datasets, and drafted the manuscript.
In contrast, the performance of the BVC was identical in both samples.
The global clinical evaluation "Physicians prediction" from physician on duty, and the observer-rated scale scoring behaviours predicting imminent violence in psychiatric inpatients (BVC), were more suitable for predicting short-term violent and threatening incidents in the PICU setting.
A recently published method is the Brøset Violence Checklist (BVC), which has been validated in Norwegian and German [ 9- 11].
Until these data are available the recommendation for routine use cannot be extended from the BVC risk assessment to the combined BVC-VAS instrument.
