At the point of inception of the xTEND project, both studies had collected baseline data and were due to begin design of 3-5 year follow-up surveys; consequently surveys used as part of the common follow-up were administered under the auspices of the parent studies.
None of the focus group participants in the larger study experienced transfer between facilities for the birth of the baby, consequently only survey data were analysed.
Using wrong primers will lead to failure to detect some bacterial species and consequently incomplete surveys in metagenomic studies.
This would go some way to helping prevent the conduct of substandard (and consequently unethical) surveys and improve the overall quality of information collected.
Our empirical evaluation of the conceptual model underpinning the long-term monitoring program provided an opportunity for learning and, consequently, we discuss survey design elements that require modification to achieve question driven monitoring, a necessary step in the practice of adaptive monitoring.
Consequently a national survey of practice in the UK was performed.
NHANES data are based on a cross-sectional survey; consequently, there is no way to assess causality.
For the assessment of externalising behaviour we required complete information for the teacher rating questionnaire items at ages 13 and 15; consequently, we excluded survey members if they had missing data on any of the seven items, leaving a sample of 3652 (see figure).
This still supports Abt-Zegelin's statement that, for example, informing patients about risk factors in the hospital area is done 'en passant' leading to a lack of clarity about how to represent common nursing interventions in nursing documentation [ 58] and consequently in a survey where participants are asked to write down used measures.
One of these environmental sequences, namely DH148-5-EKD18 is highly divergent and was sharply separated from other sequences in some of the earliest environmental DNA surveys; consequently, this sequence was interpreted as a novel, early-branching, "higher-level to new-kingdom level" taxon [1], [4], [12] [13] that was subsequently affiliated with parabasalids [15].
