The lowest concordance was recorded between FSH and EPT (r = 0.14).
To further explore the influence of a potential sample bias on sex ratios, host bats were captured at different times and cave locations throughout one day, in concordance with previously recorded diurnal bat fly and bat activity patterns (Figure 1 A C).
Studies assessing concordance of occupations recorded on death certificates to those reported in employment records tend to report low to fair agreement.
In the validation of hospital records in a subset of cases, we confirmed in 99.4% of the sample the concordance between diagnoses recorded in the medical charts and the diagnosis code in the database.
Of the 200 concordant records re-reviewed for concordance, all records were found concordant.
We also recorded genotyping concordance as a genotyping quality metric.
Concordance between reported and recorded adherence was 84.3%, with a trend towards self-reported adherence being higher than recorded adherence.
We also planned to review 200 concordant records (50 at the S. aureus and MRSA levels for each modality) anticipating that true concordance was > =98%.
The oncologists and radiologist then met to record concordance or disagreement in the volumes and to categorise any differences.
However, based on the very high concordance among self-reported SP and SP recorded on the ANC card, the magnitude of this sort of social desirability bias is likely to be minimal.
