All secondary endpoints were analyzed with an exploratory intention and no confirmatory interpretation was drawn.
Therefore, with an exploratory intention, we will evaluate whether the existence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes associated with sleep, circadian rhythm and muscle function explain some variance in the effectiveness of early mobilisation in ICU patients (figure 3).
Finally, exploratory analysis of intentions to use the stairs more in the future used the predictor variables of motivation by the campaign, agreement with the four additional stairwell messages contained in the questionnaire and the interaction terms reflecting potentially better agreement with these measures at the Poster + Stairwell message site which displayed them.
Very few studies on intention process have been conducted with ERPs and therefore this is an exploratory study about intention with no specific predictions.
Finally, analyses were post hoc and exploratory with the intention of generating hypotheses and discussion on this topic.
Exploratory post hoc intention-to-treat comparisons were made between intensive and standard glycemia groups on all-cause mortality by subgroups defined by baseline characteristics.
As an exploratory endeavour, the intention was to investigate in what ways these various components (video, slide show, message forum, and accompanying web site) were used by study participants to learn.
As the aims of the study were exploratory and the intention was not to provide definitive assessment of specific effects, an illustrative argument was used to justify the sample size.
However, they may not raise more money than "reasonably required for exploratory activity," publicize their intention to run, or refer to themselves as candidates.
It is important to note that the unsupervised nature of our study is exploratory and thus our intention is to identify day types that can inform hypothesis generation for further research not 'ideal' risk categories [ 16].
