Among women without an indication of GDM, control subjects were randomly selected; two control subjects were individually matched to each case patient based on the year of MHC serum collection date (±3 months), age at MHC serum collection (±2 years), the number of intervening pregnancies (0, 1, ≥2), and age at delivery of the index pregnancy (±2 years).

Tetanus immunization status available for 20 case-patients (based on medical records or patient and parental recall) indicated that only 1 patient (with severe disease) had received the 5 doses necessary for complete coverage.
Analysis of a total of 959 acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens from 799 confirmed dengue patients showed that 95% of acute-phase serum specimens could be identified as being from confirmed or probable case-patients based on these 2 assays (8 ).
The case mix of patients based on the DRG data varied across public and private hospitals with the majority of patients managed for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue.
Training was accomplished through lectures by P.d.S. and A.S., supplemented by case vignettes and role-play of therapeutic sessions by simulated patients based on case scenarios from the pilot trial, all with reference to the intervention manual.
Reprogramming technologies can be used to develop in vitro models of genetic and sporadic disease cases and effectively stratify patients, based on (i) the neuronal subtype that exhibits a disease-associated phenotype and (ii) the pathway that leads to this phenotype in each case (Fig 3).
Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in a subset of the intention-to-treat (ITT) population (MRI cohort; n = 1221 patients), based on case number calculations for the MRI outcomes and the availability of MRI equipment at the sites to perform the assessments required for the study, including magnetization transfer ratio measurements.
We evaluated 4 different case definitions for chronic dialysis patients based on varying the number and timing of physicians claims for dialysis: 1) At least 1 outpatient claim, 2) At least 2 outpatient claims, 3) At least 2 outpatient claims at least 90 days apart and 4) Continuous outpatient claims at least 90 days apart with no gap in claims greater than 21 days.
