When generic quality improvement interventions are done in diverse populations, subgroup analyses that evaluate the effect of the interventions in racial/ethnic minority patients would increase our understanding the effect on equity of treatment.
7) Design campaigns for a linguistically and culturally diverse population (10 ) and to reach vulnerable population subgroups such as the elderly and immunocompromised for WNV (11 – 15 ).
Some, like PMA109.5 and PMC58.5, might have reproduced in a habitat experiencing close contact with a large and diverse population of other V. parahaemolyticus subgroups and Vibrio spp., while others, like ATC220, might have reproduced in a habitat free of Vibrio spp. sufficiently related to effectively act as DNA donors.
The initial challenge will be using information about aging-related changes in exposure, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic factors to identify susceptible subgroups within the diverse population of older adults.
The diverse HCV studies conducted among different general population subgroups, regardless of design or methodology, consistently report a very high HCV prevalence, as high as 41% in some studies [ 10].
28 40–43 To reduce possible bias, our sampling strategy for panel composition was reflective of the population subgroups under investigation and geographically diverse.
Indeed evidence suggests that the instrument is applicable among diverse population clusters and is appropriate as a health status measure in subgroups of a population [ 14- 17].
In this large, pooled analysis of a diverse population of patients with RCC, sorafenib was well tolerated across all age subgroups, including those ⩾75 years.
Since early stage ovarian cancer represents a prognostically diverse population, future studies should be focused on identifying the optimal treatment for the various subgroups of patients.
More targeted research in this population and other population subgroups not well represented in this study (e.g., rural/remote and culturally and linguistically diverse women) is required to adequately assess their unmet needs.
