We categorised respondents into eight age groups and six ethnic groups based on ONS classification (Supplementary Appendix 2), and defined patients' national (England) deprivation quintiles (quintile-defining points: 8.257, 13.525, 20.741 and 33.511).
The cure rate, recurrence rate, mortality and morbidity of TDC with drain is significantly similar to that of BHC with drain for treatment of defined patients of unilateral sub-acute and chronic subdural hematoma.
The outcome of combined-modality therapy and central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis has not been fully determined.We retrospectively reviewed our experience with 16 consecutive, carefully defined patients, all treated with both chemotherapy and radiotherapy.There were 11 men and five women, mean age 52.
Discharges with a "nonroutine" disposition defined patients discharged with continued healthcare needs.
We defined patients as having high costs if they were in the upper 5% (>$76,500) of the distribution.
True hypometabolic clusters and artifacts are retrospectively defined patients with true positive and false positive PET at SPM analysis (Figure 1).
As the reference category, we defined patients whose T-RTS did not change between the incident and their arrival at the hospital.
We defined patients as high-risk if at least one of the following criteria was met [6]: T2c/T3/T4 Gleason score 8 to 10 PSA level > 20 ng/mL.
Thus defined, patients with ILI represent a subset of our broad ARI population.
We defined patients with prothrombin time INR ≥1.50 as severe hepatitis in this study, whereas Fujiwara et al [12] defined patients with prothrombin time of less than 40% as severe hepatitis with (fulminant hepatitis) or without encephalopathy (severe acute hepatitis).
In patients who were started on ART, we defined patients as lost to follow up if they did not attend the hospital within the previous 30 days.
