Advances in multi-parametric data collection, as demonstrated by the development of hyperspectral flow-cytometry, 20 40 color polychromatic flow cytometry, and mass cytometry (CyTOF), are game-changing.
Most surgeons, however, instinctively and bitterly reject the "innovative" new procedure, sometimes even after the initial phase of outcomes data collection has demonstrated some validity to the procedure.
The hypothesis of this multicentre study is that a dose management system, with a large amount of data collection, will demonstrate significant variation in dose levels for similar adult CT examinations performed in different institutions in a comparable region of Europe.
Therefore, we cannot rule out a meaningful role for social learning for the cylinder task, and think it likely that further data collection would demonstrate this.
However, full data collection will demonstrate the number of events of interest; this will limit the number of variables that can be investigated in multivariable logistic regression models.
The responses in the postnatal data collection sheet demonstrated that the SMILI had content validity with only a few problems and gaps identified in the earlier observations.
Studies of other methods (i.e. reminder letters or calls and alternative modes of data collection) also demonstrated a benefit, but it was difficult to assess their impact due to a less standardised approach.
The self-reported diary was piloted prior to data collection, which demonstrated HEWs were able and willing to complete the diary, and the field workers confirmed the HEWs had relatively few problems completing the diary.
