Their conclusions are based on data from the admissions offices at fourteen élite colleges and on a survey of three thousand high-school seniors.The average student in their sample who applied Early Action increased his or her chances of admission by 18.9 percentage points; an Early Decision application increased the chances of the average applicant in the sample by 34.8 points.
UCU's analysis of data from the admissions service, Ucas, found course reduction was worst in England, at 31%.
As part of the project, we created a data warehouse by using data from the admission and discharge, pharmacy, microbiology, clinical laboratory, and radiology department databases (9 ).
We 2) also generated our own data from the admission test itself: questionnaires (described above), test-scores of MMI, and score of the structured interviews.
Data from all the admissions to a medical ICU, in a tertiary care hospital, with suspected infection in whom blood cultures were sent at the time of admission were analyzed.
Using data from the Ucas admissions service, the study found that white pupils and those at independent schools were more likely to be successful in their applications than black, Asian and state school pupils with the same A-level grades.
Anthropological data, data from the ER admission charts (hour of admission, duration of examination, history of coronary artery disease [CAD] or myocardial infarction [MI], arterial hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and smoking) and data from the hospital stay were analyzed.
If patients were readmitted to the ICU during the same hospitalization, only the data from the first admission were included for analysis of admission diagnoses and mortality predictors.
A potential criticism is the risk of incorporation bias, since clinicians are not blind to the admission clinical variables studied, which are likely to influence admission decisions; inclusion of clinical and laboratory data from the entire admission in assigning outcome is likely to only partly mitigate this bias.
For patients with two or more admissions to the ICU during the same hospital stay, only the data from the first admission were used.
This paper uses data from the central admission system for Danish post-secondary education merged with other administrative data.
