The major finding of this study is the occurrence of 64% more maternal deaths than those identified through underlying cause of death only, giving a maternal mortality ratio of 6.0 instead of 3.6, which is equivalent to the adjustment factor of 1.5 used by WHO.
This is equivalent to saying that adjustment for tumour size obscures the real effect of this variable on the relative risk of nodal involvement.
Latvia kept its currency peg to the euro and has regained competitiveness through an "internal devaluation", with large cuts in wages and public spending: a fiscal adjustment equivalent to some 14% of GDP.Another axiom is that voters punish governments that impose tough austerity programmes.
Active smokers, when compared with the same reference group (non-smokers with cotinine ≤0.05 ng/ml) had a HR for stroke of 1.13 (95% CI 0.60 to 2.13), reducing to 1.03 (95% CI 0.52 to 2.04) after adjustment (equivalent to model 3 in table 3).
Power calculations indicated that, for the intended sample size, a correlation coefficient of 0.25 could be detected between functional and structural assessments of endothelial function at 80% power, with alpha of 0.006 (equivalent to 0.05 after Bonferroni adjustment for eight comparisons).
Intervention participants follow a fully defined diet-physical activity program designed to create a weekly negative energy balance equivalent to 3500 kcal, after adjustments for metabolic adaptations that occur during extended periods of weight loss.
There is no one commonly accepted risk adjustment model equivalent to EuroSCORE, although there is evidence that case severity at the outset may be among the most powerful predictors of outcome.
Intervention participants follow a structured diet/physical activity program designed to create a weekly negative energy balance equivalent to 3, 500 kcal, after adjustments for metabolic adaptations that occur during extended periods of weight loss.
Strikingly, the model predicts that in this holo-endemic setting the risk of malaria attack is over 17-fold higher for individuals with an ADRB index <250 compared to those with an ADRB index ≥250 after adjustment for age, equivalent to a 94% reduction of clinical episodes (P = 0.006).
We are estimating a model (4') equivalent to equation (4) above, making still two adjustments.
