CONCLUSIONS: We recommend placing more emphasis on minimum clinically important differences when planning stroke trials, with these differences being derived from an assessment of the public health impact obtained in conjunction with the use of epidemiological and cost-effectiveness models.
It says that current emission targets are simply way too conservative: "By and large, national targets are not derived from an assessment of what needs to be done to meet the 2C target".
Values were derived from an assessment of the UK land-cover database [ 20] and regressed against population density derived from UK census data [ 21].
Patient preferences derived from an assessment of values can help inform the design of screening programs, but how best to do so, and whether such preferences differ cross-nationally, has not been well-examined.
This preliminary part of the literature review process is derived from an assessment of relevant publications including government reports, working papers and academic articles concerning the two health care systems.
For example, it is possible that assessment scores derived from a verbal paragraph analysis are strongly correlated with scores derived from an assessment of mathematical word problems; in this case, it may be that reading comprehension is in fact the construct that is being captured by these assessments.
Incubation times were derived from previous studies with an assessment of cell viability determined by cellular lactate dehydrogenase release and histology[ 8, 9].
H-scores derive from a semiquantitative assessment of both staining intensity (scale 0 3) and the percentage of positive cells (0 100%), which when multiplied, generates a score ranging from 0 to 300.
The proposed methodology represents a new approach to solve the problems derived from a risk assessment of geological storage of CO2 within a framework of safety and protection of health and the environment.
One must also consider what effects the use of scores derived from an assessment will have on both those who administer the tool and those who take it.
To verify this hypothesis, the Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) framework was used to explore the spatiotemporal dynamics of eleven indicators derived from a standard assessment of soil degradation and land sensitivity to desertification in Italy.
