Lastly, the fact that output measures that are not adjusted for quality (life expectancy) are consistent substitutes for quality-adjusted output measures (DALY, QALY) means that cross-country analysis can still be conducted, while the OECD continues to develop, maintain, and produce these quality-adjusted output measures on a more consistent basis.
The concept of ascribing higher cost-effectiveness thresholds to patients with lower life-expectancy is consistent with the 'rule of rescue', which applies greater value to therapies for patients with poor prognosis and few available alternatives and which are life-prolonging.
The lifetime prevalence rates of schizophrenia within these two distinct American Indian tribal groups is consistent with lifetime expectancy rates reported for the general United States population and most isolate and homogeneous populations for which prevalence rates of schizophrenia are available.
The age for beginning treatment was 40 years, and the duration of treatment was 40 years, which is consistent with the life expectancy.
While life expectancy in Western Australia is high among developed countries, the magnitude of increase in life expectancy between 1985 and 2005 in Western Australia is consistent with that seen in the United Kingdom, the United States, and many European countries.
The positive correlation that we found between school-life expectancy (years of schooling) and public acceptance of evolution is consistent with previous research (Paz-Y-Mino 2009).
This finding is consistent with the concept of outcome expectancies proposed in social cognitive theory [ 23] and used in the development of the intervention.
And while there are myriad factors driving average life expectancy in a country, France's greater longevity than the United States' is consistent with this analysis.
This finding is consistent with the global change in the life expectancy of women [ 17, 23].
