The derived country-specific quality adjustment indices are presented in Table 3, which shows considerable variation among source countries, ranging from 0.217 for Albania to 1.63 for Switzerland.
Using the previously derived country-specific wealth quintile disaggregation, respondents citing home births were then aggregated into the above attendance categories.
Many countries have derived country-specific utility weights, and there is some evidence that the value sets between countries are substantially different [ 8].
Specifically, we derived country-specific predictions by setting the other meta-variables, average temperature and temperature range, to the average of each country.
Using mortality:incidence ratios to estimate country-specific survival, and by applying the human development index we derived country-specific estimates of the proportion cured and the proportion treated.
The derived country of residence and country of birth variable has four categories (born and living in England, born in Scotland but living in England, born in England but living in Scotland, born and living in Scotland).
In addition, we performed a meta-analysis by country to derive country-specific effect estimates of associations between cord blood DNA adduct levels and birth weight.
Where data from multiple registries per country were available, weighted averages were calculated to derive country-specific estimates for the proportion of ADC cases.
All Million Women Study participants were asked at recruitment about their place of birth and this was used to derive country of birth.
Weighted averages (using the total number of cases per registry to derive weights) were calculated to derive country-specific estimates where data on multiple registries per country were available.
The models developed and applied in the EPIA project will facilitate research to derive country-specific results indicating the national burden of paediatric influenza disease in each of the member countries.
