In brief, TB diagnosis is based on clinical features, smear examination of sputum where this is available, positive family history, tuberculin skin testing, chest radiography and histo-pathological examination as appropriate.
Evaluable patients are those who have received at least 1 full cycle of CHOP-O and had a response assessment (CT/PET scan or physical examination as appropriate).
Baseline characteristics of the participants and non-participants in the follow-up examination were compared by Chi-square, student t and Mann-Whitney test as appropriate.
Physical examination as well as appropriate imaging procedures to assess the response of the patient's disease were performed and repeated every other course.
Tutorials/workshops can be organised to orientate international students on the host country's health care system Training sessions on confronting, challenging and sensitive clinical examinations, as well as appropriate clinical and colloquial language can be provided.

However, the main method of examining the distributions of the measures was through graphical examination as this is the most appropriate method for large samples [ 35].
Prior to treatment all patients had a complete medical history and physical examination, FBC, serum chemistry, urinalysis, EDTA clearance, 12 lead ECG, chest X-ray, and tumour assessment by physical examination, CT scan, or ultrasonography as appropriate.
The primary analyses will involve intention-to-treat comparisons between the two groups for the primary outcomes, with transformation as appropriate after examination of distributions, and adjusted for stratification variables.
Tumour assessments were by physical examination, CT scan and/or MRI, as appropriate.
