The evaluation returns an explicit output relation complemented with an often implicit statement about the completeness of that relation.
A statement about the completeness of a relation can also explicitly be formalized as a sentence of first-order logic.
To ensure the completeness of Mediboard in relation to the functionality required for a hospital information system, its features were compared to those of a well-defined comprehensive record management tool set up at the University Hospital "La Timone" of Marseilles in France.
Actual published quantification of completeness rates and the relation with cardiovascular risk factors, however, is scarce.
In addition, the completeness of data in relation to entire ICU populations was usually not stated, introducing the potential for selection bias.
7 In 2006, we reported our evaluation of European national strategic plans and showed wide differences in the completeness of plans in relation to their inclusion of factors identified by WHO as important.
Of 15 249 records retrieved from the search for evaluations, 26 evaluations that assessed completeness of reporting in relation to endorsement for nine reporting guidelines were identified.
Relatively few relevant studies were included in the assessments (median 20, interquartile range 18-50, studies), and analyses for completeness of reporting in relation to endorsement for mean summed scores were statistically non-significant (table 8).
Analyses for completeness of reporting in relation to endorsement were statistically non-significant for each checklist item.
Across guidelines, almost all items were statistically non-significant for completeness of reporting in relation to journal endorsement (figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9).
