It does not provide universal access, but instead restricts the responsibility of the government to provide subsidised food grain to households on the basis of defined eligibility criteria, estimated to account for two-thirds of the population.
The cumulative incidence of loss to follow-up and ART eligibility was estimated using competing-risk analysis (stcompet command in Stata) [ 20, 21].
Several additional studies meeting review eligibility criteria estimated the risk of regression of CIN 1 without regard to HPV type [ 48, 49, 57, 85].
To provide statistical inferences on the presence of discontinuities at the eligibility threshold, we estimate a series of parametric models (Table 2).
Therefore, estimates of the number of HIV+ adults by CD4+ cell count are readily available to estimate eligibility.
Responses will determine whether it is possible to recruit patients and also estimate eligibility, consent, participation and retention rates and speed of recruitment for a future large-scale trial.
Combined, the trial sites have well over 12,000 births per year, of which approximately 40% will be primiparous.. Assuming an uptake of around 50% based on our feasibility work, and taking into account our eligibility criteria we estimate recruitment will take approximately 15 months.
For analysts interested in the effect of the treatment among compliers, rather than the effect of treatment eligibility, can be estimated on the risk difference scale using the simple Wald estimator evaluated at the threshold.
We measured clinic and clinician recruitment rates, questionnaire completion rates, patient eligibility rates, and estimated the RCT needed sample size.
Annual screening with the UK Lung Screening Study eligibility criteria was estimated to result in 956 lung cancer deaths prevented and 457 overdiagnosed cancers from 330 000 screening episodes.
