Furthermore, to avoid the possibility of choosing two redundant SNPs that are in strong LD (linkage disequilibrium), for each measure, we calculated the informativeness on all shared SNPs, then filtered them for the most informative ones such that the physical distance between consecutive selected SNPs must be at least 100 kb.
Consequently, this TMA does not represent a consecutive selected patient cohort.
The order of the 32 graphs was randomly defined for each expert and each round, except for the duplicate seasons which positions were non-consecutive, selected at random, and fixed for all experts and all rounds, in order to avoid neighbouring duplicates.
Clinical reports must state inclusion and exclusion criteria and whether the series is consecutive or selected; if selected, criteria for selection should be stated.
The following data were recorded per study: method of data collection (prospective or retrospective), selection of patients for the intervention (indication for SA), and selection of patients for the study (consecutive or selected and, if selected, inclusion and exclusion criteria).
Group 1 comprised 61 consecutive randomly selected patients with confirmed non-CML MPN on the basis of clinical findings and complete peripheral blood and bone marrow analysis.
The importance of recording consecutive (not selected) consultations is heavily emphasised.
Of the 1720 consecutive patients selected for checklist completion, 1607 completed the alcohol items.
A classic cohort of 132 consecutive patients selected from January 2004 to August 2004 and divided into the following two groups: Group I, death (n = 11, 8.3%); and Group II, survivors.
A cohort of 132 consecutive patients selected from January 2004 to August 2004 and divided into the following two groups: GI, death (n = 11, 8.3%); and GII, survivors.
