We evaluated ten outcomes through the GRADE system and presented results in two evidence profiles: in auricular acupuncture VS sham or placebo method comparison, one ranked moderate, three ranked low and two ranked very low; in auricular acupuncture VS medications comparison, two ranked low and two ranked very low.
We evaluated two outcome measures in the EHR data: the proportion of visits in which either the problem list or the medication list was modified.
Effectiveness was measured using the Kirkpatrick model, which evaluates four outcomes: reaction, learning, behavior, and results.
We updated the vital status of all participants in the Vlagtwedde/Vlaardingen study on December 31st, 2008, and evaluated three main mortality outcomes, i.e. all-cause mortality (excluding external causes of death such as accidents and suicides), cardiovascular and COPD mortality (as primary or secondary cause of death).
We calculated and evaluated two ChIMES outcomes, the ChIMES Total Score and the ChIMES Percentage Score.
We evaluated two secondary outcomes, which represent strategies used to prevent residual postoperative neuromuscular blockade: monitoring of neuromuscular transmission and reversal of neuromuscular blockade.
We evaluated two primary outcomes: (1) type-2 diabetes (fasting blood glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L or hemoglobin A1C ≥ 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or diabetes medication use) and (2) insulin resistance (type-2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome using International Diabetes Federation criteria).
Methods: The Chicago Health, Environmental Exposure, and Recreation Study was a prospective cohort study that evaluated five health outcomes among three groups of people: those who engaged in limited-contact water recreation on effluent-dominated waters, those who engaged in limited-contact recreation on general-use waters, and those who engaged in non water recreation.
Therapeutic outcomes were evaluated three months post-stroke and good outcome was defined as a three-month mRS of 0 to 2, while poor outcome was mRS of 3 to 6. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture of the forearm veins in acute stroke patients within 48 hours and on days 7 and 30 post-stroke.
