Although morbidity from these conditions may be worse in females, mortality - both from all causes and from respiratory-related disease alone - is still higher in males with COPD [ 65], illustrating the complexities involved in assessing the significance of sex and gender for a particular co-morbidity.
Additional considerations in assessing the complexity of chemical synthesis included recognizing the cost-limiting intermediates, number of steps of synthesis, and availability/pricing of raw materials.
First, there is the difficulty in assessing the additional complexity of the system.
All these questions are important in assessing the biological complexity of the tumours and the optimization of research and clinical study strategies [ 13].
There has been much interest in assessing the downstream effects and complexities of the contemporary delivery of healthcare.
"The single greatest standard used in assessing the quality of wine is complexity," he also said then and, while the word is overworked by critics, it's still true.
90 These attributes lead to greater complexity in analytically assessing the value of ordering a diagnostic test, even if familiar qualitative estimates (eg, the 'chagrin' of making the wrong choice) are substituted for less familiar quantitative calculations of net benefit.
The assessment of methodological quality is an important component of an IPD systematic review but there is complexity in assessing potential threats to the validity of primary studies for this research genre.
Actually, among widely applied empirical formulations for the characterization of composites suggested by Classification Societies rules, the ones for the interlaminar shear strength appear the most scattered because of the complexity in assessing failure phenomena.
The complexity of assessing the role of Src in ouabain-activated signaling in cell-free experiments is compounded by our finding of endogenous Src in both pools of the isolated kidney enzyme, and the absence of ouabain activation of this Src, in apparent conflict with previous findings for cases in which Src was added to isolated Na+/K+-ATPase.
The reason for this discrepancy can only be speculated on and may be a matter of chance, or possibly due to increased complexity in assessing suspected coronary disease after cardiac arrest in female patients.
