Two authors (ROC and AJvB) independently extracted the study characteristics (author, year, outcome variable(s), sample characteristics, presumed determinants, measurement instruments, and significant results (statistical figures that were reported in the article), of studies selected for inclusion.
Patients' responses were clinically defined by World Health Organization criteria for reporting cancer treatment, where determinant measurements were taken not less than 4 weeks apart.
Three interrelated thematic clusters emerged as top priorities for research: i) pregnancy intentions and family planning needs; ii) models of care and evaluation of these models within the overall program structure; and iii) determinants and measurement of uptake, retention, and adherence to ART.
It is not known whether the statistical determinants of QoL measurement discrepancy observed here will apply to discrepancies between other patient- and assessor-rated QoL measures.
Important determinants for the measurement of career success on a career stage are occupational experience in the rank and career stage-specific qualifications [ 26].
Other studies, such as the LEMMoN 28 study in the Netherlands, the recently started Nordic project (NOSS) or the French Severe maternal morbidity: measurement, determinants and quality of care project (EPIMOMS), are prospective but transversal approaches limited to a specific time period.
Appropriate methods for rating symptoms as EMF-related are required, taking into consideration measurement determinants that have been proposed by the broader research field of medically unexplained symptoms such as population type, use of validated symptom checklists and frequency, severity and duration of the symptoms [ 48].
This is to be expected, as a full explanation of heterogeneity would require knowledge of every determinant of HPV prevalence in OSCC cases, as well as every determinant of HPV measurement validity and reliability, and a sufficient number of studies to explore possible combinations of all such variables.
At T1 the baseline measurement, we measured all social-cognitive determinants except self-reported behavior.
This review covers both areas, emphasizes the former, and considers such key determinants of efficacy as measurement, treatment integrity, and design issues.
(Prompt if necessary: descriptive epidemiology, determinants research, formative research, measurement research, intervention research, economic evaluation, etc).
