The secondary aims include correlation of protocol-driven weaning to outcome as defined by successful extubation and reduction in the length of mechanical ventilation.
Further, the relation between percent changes of motor and sensory thresholds over time (from baseline to 60 min) and associated percent changes in the R2 response (from baseline to 60 min) were evaluated with the Pearson correlation pooling across protocols and groups (N = 89).
For that, we have extended raster image correlation spectroscopy (RICS) protocols to be able to discriminate the anisotropy in the diffusion coefficient tensor.
Although Figure 2 shows that at four co-located sites there was moderate to high agreement between protocols (correlation coefficients = 0.79 0.91), these are not consistently and sufficiently high to conclude that the data are exchangeable in some city areas for daily average measurements of EC collected from the CSN versus IMPROVE networks before the method change in May 2007.
Moreover, high reproducibility within a given protocol (correlation coefficient of about 0.95) was observed for amplifications that were carried out in two different laboratories by two different operators.
However, several recent papers touching on PI3K pathway activation and lapatinib resistance conflicted with each other [ 18, 25- 29], so we conducted this study to explore their correlation and the protocol was approved by the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center Institutional review board on June 30 , 2008
Limitations of the Ig analysis included low patient numbers in the IgG subgroup, lack of a placebo comparator and lack of correlation (due to protocol-defined Ig measurements) between SIE onset and recording of low Ig levels.
Also, the virtual correlation coefficients between different protocols are high (average 0.95), suggesting that slight differences in protocols based on T7 linear amplification mechanism do not affect the correlation of amplified samples to unamplified samples.
The sequencing data all correlate significantly, but the correlation coefficients varied for different protocols.
The average of correlation coefficients for all protocols was about 0.95 indicating high reproducibility of measurements.
