"A speedy 160-pound, five foot 10-inch performer, he lost little time making his mark in football last fall once he became eligible upon completion of his first V-12 term".
Our case review panel consists of research clinicians, project managers, study coordinators and the senior clinician who convene twice weekly to discuss participants who remain eligible following completion of baseline visits.
Eighty respondents were eligible and completed the survey (69.6% completion rate).
Moreover, 97% of eligible participants completed this phase of the study with completion rates the same in those previously on active therapies or placebo (Table 1).
Of calls where an individual was determined to be eligible, the questionnaire completion rates were 74%and88%8% for fixed-line and mobiles respectively (p = 0.1 for difference in proportions).
When limiting to the subset of patients that were eligible to complete the survey, there were high response rates for the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, 79% completion), Family Emotional Involvement and Criticism Scale (FEICS, 80% completion), and Impact Of Weight On Quality Of Life-Lite (IWQOL, 70% completion) prior to surgery.
Because this study achieved a recruitment rate of 71.1% among those eligible to participate, a completion rate of 82.9%, and similar completion rates across condition, there is an ideal opportunity to understand where prenatal services can be further improved and for whom.
Only subjects with complete Medicare Part B data for the year prior to survey completion were eligible for this study.
Eligible registered participants on completion of Test 1 (described below) were randomised to either the control or intervention group.
Baseline measurements were carried out on all eligible patients including the completion of questionnaires, physiological and anthropometric measures, and venesection.
