Case-control sampling design is a classic example of outcome-dependent sampling, where exposure information is collected on subjects conditional on their disease status.
Examples of outcome based programs are meeting a target blood pressure or lowering body mass index (BMI).
Examples of outcome attributes included the 'severity of potential side effects', 'possibility of beneficial effect' and 'reversibility of side effects' that may result from a particular psoriasis treatment modality.
An additional group provided examples of outcome measures that they might have found difficult to group in domains, such as serenity, integration, body image, ability to relax, awareness and holism.
It led to more demanding definitions of equality involving, for example, equality of outcome rather than of opportunity.
As stated in the paper by Lutsey et al. (12), the differences between studies may be the result of different methods used, for example definition of outcome, population, age, dietary assessment, and statistical methods.
Examples of outcomes from this database are reported.
A flowchart of our method is presented in Figure 1, and examples of outcomes obtained at subsequent stages of the processing chain are demonstrated in Figure 2. First of all, an input image (Figure 2(a)) is converted into a skin probability map (Figure 2(b)) using a global skin color model based on the Bayesian classifier (the darker shade indicates higher skin probability).
7 Table 1 also provides examples of outcomes that were not assessed because they had poor outcome definitions.
We list some examples of outcomes, which may depend on length of follow-up and frequency of events (table 8).
