We compared and contrasted statistical approaches that may help identify windows of vulnerability by formally testing differences in exposure effects across time of exposure, incorporating continuous time metrics for timing of exposure, and efficiently incorporating incomplete cases.
More specifically, we suggest that the cerebellum may be important for discontinuous movements that require a representation of a temporal goal whereas the basal ganglia are crucial for continuous motor timing in which the temporal goal is embedded in action [46].
A case control study was conducted among Florida residents to investigate measures of patterns (intermittent vs. continuous) and timing (childhood vs. adulthood) of sunlight exposure in BCC and SCC.
To further understand the relationship between sunlight exposure and risk of NMSC, a case control study was conducted to investigate measures of patterns (intermittent vs. continuous) and timing (childhood vs. adulthood) of sunlight exposure in BCC and SCC.
Markov models are useful when a decision problem involves risk that is continuous over time, when the timing of events is important, and when important events may happen more than once.
When time between surgeries was treated as a continuous variable the timing of surgery still had no influence on the adjusted risk of dying within 90 days (HR 1.0, CI 1.0-1.0 1.0-1.0
Such precision may not be relevant for exposures that are continuous, but the timing of exposure assessment may affect greatly the measured values for time-varying exposures.
For continuous variables (age, timing, follow-up, outcome scores), the mean and range were collected if reported.
Monitoring plays an important role in the current management of patients with acute respiratory failure but sometimes lacks definition regarding which 'signals' and 'derived variables' should be prioritized as well as specifics related to timing (continuous versus intermittent) and modality (static versus dynamic).
However, unlike monitoring of other organs and functions, monitoring of respiratory function in the critically ill sometimes lacks definition regarding which 'signals' and 'derived variables' should be prioritized as well as specifics related to timing (continuous versus intermittent) and modality (static versus dynamic).
