Annual change of criteria values and their elasticity to adoption were incorporated.
For each outcome variable, three models of regression were performed: 1) Crude Model with no confounding variables, 2) Complete Model including all potential confounders and 3) Simple Model including only confounders that met the change-of-estimate criterion set at 20%[30]0].
Recent changes of classification criteria in DSM-5 facilitate a diagnosis of AN in younger subjects, but weight criteria and starvation-induced physical signs still remain undefined.
DSM-5 [ 5] introduced profound and partially controversial changes of diagnostic criteria of various disorders [ 7- 9].
The first is history: changes of diagnostic criteria should avoid large shifts in the population of people already labeled as having or not having MFS.
Findings will be reported by time period, to account for changes of the criteria for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes over time.
The main changes of classification criteria from the based staging systems to our staging models were as follows (Supplementary Table 2).
However, in the present study, we used both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes, and this approach may have minimized the impact of changes of diagnostic criteria and frequency of glucose testing.
Other than that, most proposed changes of the criteria for tic disorders contain a number of welcome improvements, e.g., the more unified definition of tics including the removal of the term "stereotyped" and the better capture of the temporal pattern of tics (e.g., removal of the maximum 3 months criterion for a tic-free period in chronic tic disorders).
Our primary objective was to determine how well a mathematic model for plethysmograph estimation of pulsus paradoxus physiology (PEP) correlates with %FEV1 (criterion validity) and change of this criterion standard (responsiveness) during treatment in pediatric patients with acute asthma exacerbations.
