Finally, even if renal outcomes constitute our secondary outcomes, they are of great originality; the doubling of serum creatinine is not as hard an end point compared with renal replacement therapy but this outcome is largely considered as a valuable proxy for severe renal damage in clinical trials (29, 30).
We recruit patients to the trial only once, since subsequent falls constitute patient outcomes.
The remaining outcomes constitute secondary or other outcomes.
Identifying what constitutes appropriate outcomes and linking those outcomes to a particular staffing combination remains contested terrain.
These education professionals had rather different ideas about what might constitute appropriate outcome measures for these interventions and suggested that measures of wellbeing or perhaps more tightly defined outcomes relating to help seeking, such as use of a helpline or knowledge of where to access help, should be utilised.
These policies constitute the outcome of the realization that support of sustainable tourism has the potential to boost the sector's contribution to economic growth, development and job creation, while simultaneously addressing the major environmental challenges of the times [8].
Despite the quantity of research, there remains a controversy as to precisely which behavioral paradigms should be used to best tap into pattern separation and pattern completion processes, as well as to what constitute legitimate outcome measures reflecting impairments in pattern separation and pattern completion.
Adverse events constitute the outcome of interest, but our major challenge was to deal with the wide range of such events.
For example, if the practice patterns that are being studied pertain to coronary revascularization, complications such as mortality and reinfarction after acute myocardial infarction may constitute the outcome of interest.
We did not stipulate that the MDT had to define a specific plan for treatment and accepted that, bearing in mind that patients themselves may not have been adequately represented at the MDT [ 13], it is reasonable to consider that further discussion with an oncologist could constitute an outcome.
