The apparent insensitivity of the consensus ARDS definition may be improved with consideration of less severe forms of lung injury, although this is operationally differentiated by the severity of hypoxemia rather than the discrepant factor in our study, namely evidence of pulmonary edema on chest radiograph.
The variability in the subjective evaluation of aerosols by users4, as well as factors influencing discrepant interlaboratory levels of emissions, are significant current issues in the e-cigarette field that require extensive further study.
To avoid such factors, the discrepant samples were analyzed with alternative methods of detection in order to determine their true status.
Whereas SAVA and BYM focused on the magnitude of variation and on allocating where variability cannot be due to chance, SCM signalled discrepant areas where latent factors would differently affect men and women.
To identify factors associated with discrepant outcome reporting in randomized drug trials.
In the design, we crossed anchoring (free, anchored) and sampling (over-, even-), which were candidate factors to explain discrepant findings.
Accordingly, we undertook this study to determine the accuracy of a POC device (Hemosense INratio) in long-term care settings and examine factors associated with discrepant results.
For pragmatic reasons we decided to select two reviews with opposing recommendations which addressed the same research question to determine factors leading to discrepant findings.
The technique elicits discrepant areas, those where latent factors are affecting differently to men and women in the risk of hospitalization.
Other factors contributing to discrepant results between different studies may be related to the composition of the patient cohort with regard to demographic and clinicopathological parameters.
Specifically, we sought to compare the single (main) reason for caesarean across countries, separated by timing of caesarean (intrapartum or pre-labour) and type of caesarean (primary or repeat), to identify possible contributing factors to the discrepant overall rates.
