Given that there are limitations with regard to these proteomic studies, for example, the interference of high-abundance proteins in body fluids, the proteomic analysis of serum-free CM from a primary tissue culture system was applied to establish a laryngeal cancer-derived secretory/releasing protein database, containing 982 CM proteins.
Before running cmscan, the CM database must be converted to a special format using cmpress, which enables faster scanning.
The first-ever cancer status was also obtained by linkage to the catastrophic illness database (ICD-9-CM codes: 140-208).
Hospitalisation for AMI will be initially identified on the basis of listed primary and secondary diagnosis codes in the reference hospital discharge database (ICD-9-CM code: 410).
KID: Kid's inpatient database; ICD-9-CM: International classification of diseases, ninth revision, clinical modification; APR-DRG: All patient refined diagnostic-related groups.
A sensitivity analysis was conducted after implausible waist circumference values were discovered lately in the database (changes from 25 cm to 96 cm over 3 months) to assess their impact on results (impossible values were set to missing).
The assigned depth scale of RGB value for Section U1424B-2H-2 is 6.5 cm shallower in LIMS database because the top 6.5 cm interval of this section was not included in the cropped digital image due to an error during the operation.
Their estimate of lymphedema prevalence among patients under 65 years of age was 0.07 % based on data from the Milliman claims database using ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes of 457.0, 457.1 and 457.2 (the last code not being a diagnosis of lymphedema, and omitting code 757.0 lower limb congenital lymphedema).
Candidate biomarkers were selected from this CM protein database according to a series of stringent criteria.
In 2007, we queried the Colorado Hospital Association database for ICD-9-CM codes that identified diagnoses consistent with infectious shock or TSS unrelated to pregnancy or childbirth (8 ).
Outcome data were extracted into an electronic database by one author (CM) and assessed for accuracy by a second author (BH).
