The pulmonary failure was assessed on the basis of radiographic findings, computerised tomography scans, bacteriological diagnosis of endotracheal aspirates and acid base abnormalities.
In order to ensure that all patients receive the CR treatment offer, the referral procedure is centralised and computerised with identification of patients from a database covering diagnosis and all invasive procedures performed in the catchments area of Bispebjerg University Hospital, Copenhagen.
At this time, the ETT test played a central role in chest pain clinic routines, and our main qualitative study site did not routinely use computerised tomography or computer tomography coronary angiography for the diagnosis of angina.
6 The study cohort included children who had a date of birth recorded in the health improvement network database since the inception of computerised data collection and continuous enrolment until they received a diagnosis of ADHD or until their 10th birthday.
Studies were selected if neuroimaging (magnetic resonance imaging, computerised tomography or angiography) or autopsy had been used to confirm a diagnosis of intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage, ruptured intracranial aneurysm or cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related haemorrhage.
From the meticulous clinical notes kept by the founders of these case series, a trained abstractor extracted and computerised relevant data, including information on signs and symptoms at presentation, final diagnosis, treatments prescribed (with number of cycles and dose) and their outcome.
We censored patients at the earliest date of the diagnosis of interest, death, deregistration with the practice, last upload of computerised data, or the date the study ended (31 December 2008).
Patients were censored at the earliest date of the diagnosis of cancer, death, deregistration with the practice, last upload of computerised data, or the study end date (1 October 2013).
All participating practices were computerised, had electronic patient files, and an electronic prescription system used for diagnosis-related prescribing.
In this paper ISEs-potentiometric measurements were performed and validated in Clinical Institute of Laboratory Diagnosis of the Zagreb University School of Medicine and Clinical Hospital Centre, using a carefully designed and constructed fully automated (computerised) homemade ISE-based blood electrolyte analyser constructed with an in-line five-channel flow-through measuring cell.
