Despite her confounding philosophy and acts of self-abnegation, Weil left behind her writings, her journal.
Thus, it is prone to confounding despite adjustment for disease severity.
Despite adjusting for confounding variables, residual effects of these variables may have affected our results.
Indeed, PAD is frequent in diabetic patients, despite missing or confounding clinical symptoms, because of its coexistence with neuropathy (10).
Despite adjustments for confounding through multivariate techniques incorporating covariates and propensity adjustment, residual confounding from unobserved or unmeasured confounders cannot be excluded.
In particular, few studies address maternal physical energy levels when examining postpartum mental health, despite it's confounding influence, and to our knowledge, none have taken intrinsic traits, like optimism, into consideration.
Alternatively, patients who are prescribed metformin may have worse glycemic control or diabetes-related complications than patients with diabetes who are not prescribed metformin, so there remains the potential for confounding, despite restricting the analysis to only patients with diabetes.
14, 16 Despite adjustment for confounding variables there was no demonstrable corticosteroid effect on survival, which is unsurprising, considering that our study was not designed nor powered to detect a therapeutic effect.
Examining the available data from two bisulphite sequencing experiments from Li et al. in peripheral blood cells and Lister et al. from fibroblasts, we find methylation within CGIs is strongly correlated in these sets (r = 0.84), despite being confounded by different experiments, tissues and cell line effects.
