Interesting are the findings on the category of work absence that captures work interruptions or compulsory service.
We propose that this would be a more suitable classification for molecular studies because a category of presence or absence of macroscopic residual disease is likely to be less susceptible to errors in measurement.
The IG-construct measures similarity information for category by exploiting probabilities of absence or presence of terms in a document review.
We are not aware of PPRV properties, e.g. differences in pathogenicity that can contribute to virus persistence across population age categories in absence of a definite reservoir as reported in other pathogens [ 29].
Racial/ethnic categories varied between surveillance systems because of differences in Medicare definitions of race/ethnicity categories; absence of racial/ethnic information on many medical records abstracted for NAMCS, NHAMCS, and NHDS; or small numbers of NHIS respondents in some racial/ethnic categories in the population samples selected.
Hazard ratios for incident CKD were estimated according to combinations of BMI category and absence or presence of metabolic syndrome.
Using the Morningstar screen, you should also key in other search criteria, such as expense ratios less than the category average, absence of load fees and, yes, availability to newcomers.
For dichotomised variables, the reference category is absence of variable.
We also examined the impact of pregnancy factors on preterm birth by including women with previous pregnancies (pluriparous women, category 1+; absence of previous pregnancies, 0. The latter is taken as reference category).
Adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis reveals that the risk of death was significantly associated with age, severity of comorbidities, the presence of a subjacent medical diagnostic category, absence of identified pathogens, and with an increasing number of failing organs.
Stainings were semi-quantitatively scored by two observers based on visual inspection, and grouped into one of three categories: complete absence of staining (0), weak staining (1), or strong staining (2).
