Information was abstracted on study design, sampling frame, inclusion/exclusion criteria, sample size, results, and covariates used for adjustment.
After applying inclusion criteria, sample size was five BRD-No NSAID, four BRD-NSAID, two No-challenge-No NSAID, and three No-challenge-NSAID.
Disparity may be explained by differences in entry criteria, sample size and study strategies.
We tested the robustness of our algorithm to criteria, sample size, and prevalence changes, respectively.
Information regarding the examiners pertained to their selection criteria, sample size, and background.
The inclusion criteria, sample size (range 50 to 348), populations studied and diagnostic criteria for VAP varied between studies.
Because these published comparison intervals do not provide details on laboratory methodology, inclusion/exclusion criteria, sample sizes or standard errors, statistical confirmation in comparing laboratory intervals was not possible.
The ordered-axis plot method is conceptually appealing and methodologically straight forward, but we feel that it will only be of limited use to biologists interested in understanding the repeatability of evolutionary radiations if their data meet the following criteria: Sample sizes among groups are equal [1].
Participants presented, discussed, and debated all aspects of clinical trial conduct, including inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample sizes, timing, ethical issues, selection of endpoints, power calculations, the benefits of multicenter studies over single-center studies, logistics, and much more.
From each study, the data abstracted included study name/year, study design (prospective controlled, randomized controlled trial, retrospective etc)., cancer cell type, patient inclusion criteria, sample sizes for the bedside/surgical pleurodesis arms, technique employed in the bedside/surgical arms and the follow-up schedule.
In terms of the subject characteristics, we considered criteria such as their socio-demographic description, presentation characteristics and severity of symptoms, selection criteria and sample size determination procedures, sample size and recruitment procedures.
