Considering that growth of the DNA barcode library will take time, a key issue concerns the effect of completeness of the reference library on the accuracy of higher taxon assignments.
We now note this effect in the last section of Results, "Effect of completeness".
We therefore investigated the impact of the recommended follow-up procedure on the completeness of follow-up of screen-positive women, and subsequently assessed the effect of the completeness of follow-up on the measured sensitivity of HPV screening.
The completeness of self-reported ethnicity information is much higher than in many studies which have attempted to quantify the effect of ethnicity on breast cancer survival: completeness was generally around two thirds (NHS Cancer Screening Programmes, 2009; Jack et al, 2009; 2012) or three quarters (National Cancer Intelligence Network and Cancer Research UK, 2009).
In the group of malignancies in which surgery was undertaken by the GP, we used cross-tabulation to examine whether recognition of the lesion as malignant had an effect on completeness of excision.
We will consider the effect of data quality and completeness on the results.
The effect of time on cancer-registration delays was assessed by looking at the completeness of relevant CRs according to the year of diagnosis and time from diagnosis to cancer-registry notification.
For completeness, a separate neverdried hydrothermally treated sample of straw was also prepared, to establish the typical effect of drying on enzyme hydrolysis rate.
Patient Data Management Systems PDMSsupportort clinical documentation at the bedside and have demonstrated effects on completeness of patient charting and the time spent on documentation.
To estimate the effect of an illness on a person's overall health, specific information about incidence is required, along with the development of a method for estimating the completeness of reporting.
