No cause was specified, but he had suffered from cancer and related health problems since 2002.
Events can have an arbitrary number of participants whose roles in the event (e.g. theme or cause) are specified, making it possible to capture n-ary associations and statements where some participants occur in varying roles or are only occasionally mentioned.
The causes were specified according to the 10th revision of the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) [ 22].
Papers were evaluated on the basis of whether a sensitivity analysis was carried out, the validity was checked, data quality was reported, illustrative examples were provided, assumptions stated, if model was potentially available to the reader (transparency), and if potential limitations such as assumptions, confounding, lag times and competing causes were specified or discussed.
Under the Cox proportional hazards (PH) model that considers predictors X = (x 1, x 2, …, x p ), the cause-specific hazard model is specified as: (1) h ε (t, X ) = h 0 ε (t ) exp ∑ i = 1 p β i ε x i, ε = 1, …, K. where β i ε is the coefficient of the i-th predictor and h 0 ε (t ) is the unspecified baseline hazard of the event type ε [37].
This constraint is specified on cause-effect chains and restricts the maximum time for the propagation of data through the chain.
In contrast, it is essential to assess the automated system's ability to highlight hyperkalaemia caused by a drug that is specified by at least one rule.
So absence of fever among substantial proportions of patients, when fever is specified in the definition, can cause serious underestimation of case totals.
