A contract should cover items such as what the scope of the project entails, predicted outcomes -- including metrics on how to measure each outcome if necessary -- expectations for communication, working hours and more.
In so doing, we found that metronomic schedules are more effective in eliminating tumour cells mainly due to their chemotherapeutic action on endothelial cells and that more frequent, low drug doses also entail outcomes in which the survival time of patient is increased.
Such treatments can involve sizable out-of-pocket expenditure [ 3, 15] while in some instances they can be associated with side effects – which while mostly transient [ 10], may nevertheless entail serious outcomes in some cases [ 16].
The proposed control outcome calibration approach (COCA) is motivated by noting that the ultimate set of unobserved confounders in an analysis relating the exposure to the primary outcome entails the set of counterfactuals for the outcome of interest under all possible treatment values.
Measuring probabilistic expectations about future continuous outcomes entails obtaining each respondent's subjective probability distribution.
Kirkpatrick's four-level framework for evaluating educational outcomes entails (i) valuation (satisfaction), (ii) learning (knowledge and knowledge retention), (iii) behavior (applying knowledge about timely identification of patients at risk and referral), and (iv) effects on patient health and organization (change in practice and results).
The relevance of survival and quality of life as patient-outcomes entails two critical issues: a) how to correlate the different outcomes in the same clinical approach; and b) how to evaluate the outcomes in daily clinical practice or clinical research from a methodological point of view.
That outcome entails some thoughts about subsidiarity which relate to Professor Loewenheim's report.
The second viewing entails understanding the outcome variable and its spatial patterns.
An intervention whose predicted outcome entails low TB prevalence is preferred over an intervention with larger predicted prevalence.
Similar in essence to simple regressions, multilevel regression entails predicting an outcome variable according to the values of one or more explanatory variables, which may be measured at different levels in the hierarchy [ 18].
