Of the 143 with discrepant classifications, 131 (91.6%) differed by a single quartile (when applying the published Boyd categories [ 10], results were similar with 66% of the patients classified in the same category and 32.5% within one category shift, see Additional file 1).
Hence, to assess the utilities for Dutch advanced NSCLC EGFR M+ patients, 11 items of the FACT-L questionnaire data from the subgroup of EGFR M+ patients (n = 261) in the progression free period in the IPASS study were converted into Dutch utilities by applying the unequal distribution algorithm published by Lamers et al. [ 11].
We converted the scores into Euro amounts by applying the corresponding monetary point values published by the Association of SHI Physicians of Bavaria.
To prospectively compare the proportion of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) that would be classified as mild by applying different published definitions of mild TBI to a large prospectively collected dataset, and to examine the variability in the proportions included by various definitions.
Scores obtained by applying a published index for evaluating causality of drug related liver toxicity were poorly correlated with the clinical judgement of clinicians (see Table 2).
By applying algorithms published elsewhere we showed how this data can be used to analyze and validate breathing motion compensation methods.
They allow subjecting each study's data to formal meta-analysis to produce pooled estimates not only of discrimination, but also of calibration by applying previously published models (derivation study) to a new, validation population.
The costs of RxO abuse were calculated by applying published estimates of the incremental health care costs of opioid abuse to country-specific estimates of the costs of chronic pain conditions.
These states may then be converted into a single index value by applying published reference weights (for CoBalT, the UK population valuation set [ 16]) to each domain response and subtracting the total of these weights from one [ 2].
Costs of care were estimated by applying published 2008/2009 national reference costs 20 22 to the use of resources.
