For children ≥10 years of age in our study, the prevalence estimated according to the IDF 2007 definition was significantly lower than the modified ATPIII definition estimate.
Given the range of EGS definitions, estimates of the prospective EGS resource base are likely to be diverse depending on the definition adopted.
These definitions estimate asthma prevalence based upon responses to questions such as "[Has this child] ever been diagnosed with asthma?", "Does this child still have asthma?" (CDC 2001), and "During the past 12 months has [child's name] had an episode of asthma or an asthma attack?" (Bloom et al. 2003).
According to that narrow definition, Icai estimates that the department – which has an annual budget of about £10.3bn – has spent £22m on fighting corruption over the past year, up from £3.5m in 2007-08.
On a similar narrow definition, McKinsey estimates that the European market was worth around $155 billion in 1999, and will expand to $213 billion by 2005.This growing market is being eyed, especially in America, by lots of existing freight companies.
Moreover, TfL's projections are, by definition, only estimates and Khan has outlined some large ideas (as well as some fluffy ones) for the financial reform of an organisation he described to a gathering of London business people last week as "good but flabby".
Two coauthors who read Chinese as a first language (X.G., W.L). abstracted from these references the year of publication; province, prefecture, and city; study population (e.g., age group); study design; site of case detection (i.e., inpatient, outpatient, or both); pneumonia case definition; and estimates of pneumonia-related incidence and mortality.
Sets of flowers/seed pods separated by less than 4 cm of stem were considered a single inflorescence; this definition made estimates of the number of pods per inflorescence in our studies consistent, given the moderate range of differences in morphology among individuals.
The global burden of GORD is increasing; data from 28 studies of GORD prevalence (defined by either typical symptoms at least once weekly or the Montreal definition) indicate estimates of 18.1 27.8% in North America, 8.8 25.9% in Europe, 2.5 7.8% in East Asia, 8.7 33.1% in the Middle East, 11.6% in Australia, and 23.0% in South America.
Finally, by using survey data and glucose levels to correct the administrative database diabetes definition, we estimated the actual diabetes prevalence and compared this with what would have been estimated by the uncorrected definition.
