Overall, 3456 mortalities were observed, 3415 of which were designated as PD mortalities.
The advantages in cancer cell inhibition of the CA-PLA-TPGS nanoparticle formulation > PLA-TPGS nanoparticle formulation > commercial Taxol® formulation could be quantitatively demonstrated in terms of their IC50 values, which is defined as the drug inhibitory concentration that is required to cause 50% tumor cell mortality in a designated period.
Mortality rates that were studied were annual proportions of stillborn lambs, liveborn lambs that died between days 0 through 5 after birth (before or after being ear-marked), designated here as early neonatal mortality, and those that died between days 6 through 14 after birth, designated here as late neonatal mortality.
Patients and methods ABLE study (multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial) was designated to show a 90-day mortality reduction in patients who received fresh blood.
Although we used the designated underlying cause of death in the mortality analyses, selecting a single cause of death is difficult when several correlated diseases or conditions contributed to death.
For the purposes of calculation of risk-stratified mortality rates, the initial hospital was designated as the responsible institution for the patient's episode of care.
Finally, it is possible that patients designated to be at 'low risk' for in-patient mortality or ICU admission might have been at low risk only because of supportive therapy they received as inpatients.
8 12 National mortality surveillance of occupation-related respiratory diseases designated asbestosis as the leading pneumoconiosis recorded on death certificates from 1982 to 2000.
For example, two lake-type populations (Cultus and Sakinaw) in south coastal British Columbia are now designated as endangered by COSEWIC, largely because of incidental fishing mortality (Irvine et al. 2005).
It measured the percentage of tree mortality within a 15-mile radius around the census designated place boundary of each study community.
