One option could be the sheer elimination of case reports.
Specifically, in an elimination setting, case reporting needs to shift from being periodic and aggregated at the district or provincial level to real-time reporting of individual geo-located cases.
To continue this downward trend and eventually achieve the national goal of TB elimination (<1 case per 1 million population per year), ongoing transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in social networks needs to be detected earlier (2).
Although the clearly-not-on-time analysis is most conservative and provides the most certainty that timeliness is due to real administration practices rather than documentation practices, it provides the smallest sample size, as it requires the elimination of cases with ambiguous timing in the documentation and cases with no documentation regarding antibiotics.
Elimination of case-control sets with patients exposed to cidofovir did not change the conclusions drawn: P values for the CMV-specific cell populations shown in Figure 3A were.06,.02, and.04, respectively.
In some cases, elimination is critical: for example, eliminating impunity in the face of sexual harassment in a venture capital firm.
For companies planning investment in Hong Kong, the governments of China and Hong Kong will begin considering tariff elimination on a case-by-case basis.
Although the aim of malaria control is to reduce morbidity and mortality in the general population through improved access to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, elimination requires a case-by-case focus, finding and treating symptomatic and asymptomatic infections alike, and taking action in specific foci to immediately prevent onward transmission.
Given the estimated effect size, the total sample size required post-test is 66 and considering a potential 35% drop out rate and eliminations of cases due to missing data or spoilt questionnaires based on previous trials [ 21], we plan to recruit 102 participants at baseline or until the required sample size has been achieved.
However, the applied approach in this research enables the possibility of weighting certain parameters of interest (e.g. elimination clearance in case one is less interested in, for example, the absorption phase).
