Indeed, this suggests that although the categories of presentation defined in this paper fit with the categories of decision-making defined by Charles et al. 4 they do not describe the same things and the categories of presentation actually work across the Charles et al.
The demographic (age), ED characteristics (eg, reason for presentation, triage category, shift of presentation) and outcomes of the sample were described using descriptive statistics.
Comparisons between hospitals in relation to age, sex, deprivation category, mode of presentation, site of tumour, extent of tumour spread, the nature of surgery, post-operative mortality, Dukes staging and adjuvant therapy were carried out using analysis of variance or X tests for trend where appropriate.
Predictors entered into the regression model included age, sex, triage category, time of presentation (in 8 h aliquots), day of week (as weekday/weekend), season, ambulance offload delay >30 min (Yes/No), ED International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10 code, hospital admission (Yes/No) and hospital (A/B/C).
It is now abundantly clear that OPA1 mutations need to be considered by neurologists and ophthalmologists for a more heterogeneous category of clinical presentations, rather than just 'autosomal DOA'.
Selected patient responses were grouped into various categories for presentation of data.
Many of the genes function in multiple cellular processes, but are listed in a single functional category for ease of presentation.
There are three categories of disease presentation in Crohn's disease: stricturing, penetrating, and inflammatory.
Down-regulation of genes involved in the sub-categories of antigen presentation (p<0.001) and humoral immune response (p<0.001) was highly significant, the opposite direction as in their young-counterparts.
This superior agreement is preserved across broad categories of clinical presentations as described in presenting triage symptoms and clinical data extracted from the triage histories.
