The educational charity Sutton Trust has shown that, on average, the 42% of schools that control admissions have considerably lower proportions of children from income-deprived homes.
He faulted the British practice of allowing tutors at each Oxford and Cambridge college to control admissions, rather than having a university-wide central admissions office.
Unlike unpreventable ADE-related admissions, preventable ADE-related admissions did not significantly differ from control admissions in terms of hospital LOS and costs (Table 4).
There were 173 and 570 admissions finally categorized as ADE-related and control admissions (inter-rater agreement corresponding kappa test = 0.97), respectively, resulting in an incidence estimate of ADE-related admissions at 23.3 % [95%% confidence interval (CI) 20.4 26.5].
To control for the impacts of other confounders such as admission policy, home environment, and disease management, which are unavailable in ICHIS data but are related to hospital admissions, we used a "negative control," admissions due to gastroenteritis, in a sensitivity analysis.
In this context, we tried to make OL versus closed-loop comparisons as unbiased as possible, matching the daily regimen, the restaurants and restaurant orders, the walk session of the experimental and control admissions, and randomizing the order of the admissions.
