Any unassigned fish or fish clipped for mark recapture estimates were excluded from estimates of survival.
Persons with insufficient information for generation of retrospective serum PFOA concentration estimates were excluded from the cohorts.
For the latter, a number of subjects with imprecise job-exposure estimates were excluded form a final analysis.
If publications were duplicated or shared in more than one study, either the former or the one without multivariate-adjusted estimates was excluded.
Studies that reported only 'casualties' and did not separate out mortality estimates were excluded, as casualty reports may also include injuries.
For example, if the h estimate was considered broad-sense because it was based solely on full-sib family data, then any associated rG estimates were excluded from further analysis.
Participants with higher than 10 μg/g or 15 μg/g uncertainty of tibia or patella bone lead levels, respectively, (reflecting precision of the estimates) were excluded (n = 9).
Second, our study was focused on HIV and HCV infections among the same study cohorts, studies reporting only HIV or HCV prevalence estimates were excluded in this review and hence some significant studies might be missing in the stratified meta-analyses.
If the maximum cross-correlation coefficient, which gives the phase delay, is less than 0.6, the delay estimate is excluded and shaded gray.
Subsequently, existing U.S. Air Force structures, communities of Barrow and Kaktovik, and some territorial waters that were incorrectly estimated were excluded resulting in 187,157 square miles for the final designation.
