Beyond, we explored variables as potential predictors of our outcome criteria (psychosocial problems and HRQoL).
We further explored variables of potential interest (either on statistical or clinical basis) using clinically sensible cut points.
Next we explored variables which correlated with the PCS and MCS scores using Pearson's correlation coefficients.
13 14 23–25 In the present study, we have only explored variables that are readily available on admission, in order to use the predictive rule at that stage and be able to introduce preventative measures immediately in high-risk patients.
In the second analysis, the importance of time since initiation of the different agents was explored (variables were included as use vs no use of a specific agent in a specific time window (eg, 'actrapid day 0–30'humaloglog day 365.25–730.5' etc)).
In addition, we explored variables pertinent to candidemia and were available in the data base, such as hemodialysis, immunosuppressive medication, previous hospitalization within 30 days, transfer from another healthcare facility, and mechanical ventilation on admission.
We explored variables associated with anaemia in CKD: eGFR, haemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), iron status, cardiovascular comorbidities, and use of therapy which associated with gastrointestinal bleeding, oral iron and deprivation score.
After conducting a study on the economics of producing classical music, Lincoln Center is interested in exploring variable pricing so that tickets cost less on certain nights of the week or people get discounts for buying tickets to several different events at the hall.
Reported N-Ratios were compared to mass balance simulations exploring variable crop yields and alfalfa management.
