We tested for both the 'local vs. foreign' criterion (native populations show higher fitness than non-natives) and the 'home vs. away' criterion (populations have higher fitness in their own habitat than in other habitats) [ 2].
In this study, the vulnerability to flooding consists of three criteria: population density, drainage system and land use.
Appropriate studies to be selected met the following pre-defined inclusion-exclusion criteria: Population: individuals with class II division 1 malocclusion.
This paper proposes a practical methodology for the problem of designing a metro configuration under two criteria: population coverage and construction cost.
This study applied suitability analysis approach to establish representative air quality monitoring stations based on five criteria (population, wind direction, and spatial proximity to roads, industries, and high-traffic areas) believed to be the most significant criteria in allocating optimum locations for monitoring stations.
This may be due to differences in TB diagnostic criteria, population genetic differences (Brazilian, Gambian, Malawian and South African), small sample size, or analytic approach.
Studies included in this review had to meet the following inclusion criteria: Population : Adults aged 18 years and over, of low income and from the general population.
While there were differences in NOAC study design and dosing regimens, enrollment criteria, population, and endpoint measures, ultimately outcomes were comparable.
Two reviewers (CU, PLS), independently and in duplicate, abstracted the data on the a priori-defined inclusion criteria (population, intervention, comparison, clinical outcomes and design).
The studies had considerable methodological limitations, including lack of an adequate description of inclusion criteria, population (especially stage of disease) and reference standard used.
A review of occupational populations showed that the prevalence of CTS varies greatly with the diagnostic criteria, population and study type, and it may range from 0.6 to 61 % [ 1, 2].
