It had been determined that fifteen interviews were sufficient for a within-country analysis based on the research of others into qualitative data saturation [ 24], and the sample size for a within-country analysis of the PROQOL-HIV questionnaire had been powered for 100 patients.

More than a decade as a foreign correspondent left me convinced that history, biography and culture explain the dominant political philosophy in any given country better than any analysis based on appeals to objective reason.

Table 2 categorizes the countries in our 2006 analysis based on: 1) the efficiency of their HIV/AIDS program and 2) the type of HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Analysis based on country of origin showed that there were no statistically significant differences for this variable.
Subgroup analysis based on country showed that, in both Chinese and Japanese GC patients, the postoperative increase in serum IL-6 levels in LAG group were significantly lower than the increase observed in the OG group (all P < 0.05).
A subgroup analysis based on country revealed that in both Chinese and Japanese GC patients, the postoperative serum IL-6 levels were significantly lower in LAG group compared to the IL-6 levels found in the postoperative OG group.
The major results of the correlations between the levels of HMGB1 and pancreatitis are supplied in Figure 3. Subgroup analysis based on country implied that high level of serum HMGB1 may be the main risk factor of pancreatitis progression in China, Korea, Hungary, and Japan populations (all P < 0.05).
Subgroup analysis based on country showed that, in Chinese and Japanese GC patients, postoperative serum IL-6 levels in LAG group were significantly lower than OG group (Japanese: SMD = −1.19, 95% CI = −1.81 ~ −0.57, P < 0.001; Chinese: SMD = −2.78, 95% CI = −4.21 −1.36, P < 0.001).
Subgroup analysis based on country showed that, in Chinese and Japanese GC patients, the increase in postoperative serum IL-6 levels in LAG group were significantly lower than the postoperative increases found in the OG group (Japanese: SMD = −2.03, 95% CI = −2.74 ~ −1.32, P < 0.001; Chinese: SMD = −4.27, 95% CI = −6.40 ~ −2.14, P < 0.001).
