● Patients whose second-line treatment failed and those who had SAEs were deemed to have completed the duration of therapy because no third-line therapy was available.
In an additional sensitivity analysis of the patients who stopped therapy after 28 weeks and were thus presumed to have GT 1/4/6, 40% stopped before completing the recommended duration of therapy.
For qualitative analysis, we performed line-by-line coding (Green and Britten, 1998; Patton, 2002) of each student's journal completed over the duration of the course and email responses to follow-up queries to course participants in the first two cohorts 1 2 yr after completing the course.
Depending on when the deficiency is identified along with the severity of the issue, the specific remediation plan may be able to be created and completed during the duration of their EM clerkship.
In addition, we monitored participation in the counseling program, including the number of counseling calls completed and the duration of each call.
They were closely monitored and daily clinical record sheets were completed throughout the duration of the study by the animal care facility staff.
A cancer care diary developed by members of the research team will also be completed for the duration of the study to document health professionals seen and health care resources utilised.
Vpeak was calculated as v = Vf + [(t · T−1) Vd], where Vf was the speed of the final work load completed, t the duration of the last work load, T the duration of each work load, and Vd the difference in speed between the last two workloads (Holmberg et al. 2005).
The division of the three fermentation phases was consistent with the definition of the phenotypes, i.e. the end of lag-phase is when OD reaches 2% of the maximum OD, the end of growth-phase is when glucose consumption is completed, and the duration of stationary-phase is fixed at 10 hours after the end of growth phase.
Compliance with training was high across all participants and there were no dropouts; 80% (35 of 44) of the sample completed the requested duration of training, with 75% (33 of 44) exceeding the required training.
