The large differences between the experts indicate the serious difficulties of quantifying the effectiveness of concrete actions.
While the true benefits and limitations of any procedure may not be realized until they are observed in a clinical setting, axial pullout tests, due in large part to their reproducibility and ease of execution, are commonly used to estimate the device's effectiveness by quantifying the change in force required to remove the screw from the body.
10 The technique of economic evaluation compares the relative cost-effectiveness of alternative treatment strategies by relating their mean differences in cost to their mean differences in effectiveness, and by quantifying the uncertainty surrounding these incremental point estimates.
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the programme through 2011 by quantifying the outcomes in breast cancer mortality, life-years gained, false positive results, and overdiagnosis.
Cost-effectiveness results assist in medical decision-making by quantifying the societal benefits of a health technology against its costs and indicate treatment/care option providing the best value for money.
The effectiveness of the RNAi on Arfip and GM-130 localization was determined by quantifying the number of cells with correct localizaion from 10 randomly chosen fields of view (∼500 cells total).
Thus, attempts were made to quantify the effectiveness of resuscitation by assessing the improvement in blood pressure or perfusion occurring in response to different volumes of electrolyte, colloid, or blood-containing fluids, which are administered to prevent death during the immediate postshock period.
We quantified the effectiveness of RNAi-mediated suppression by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and used a proteomic liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry procedure to show target-specific suppression of OBPs expressed in the antennae.
"What you'd really like to do is nail things down, quantify the effectiveness of the behavior".
To improve medical care, we quantify the effectiveness of different treatments.
