It means that leaders need to pay extra care to the severity of their accountability within their organization's procedural and ethical duties and responsibilities, as well as within their organization's crisis management.
We have recently reported that the ratio of these two key cytokines (IFNγ/IL10) shows significant correlation with clinical severity in extra-pulmonary tuberculosis [16],with higher IFNγ/IL10 ratio relating to less severe disease.
Similar to other database studies of drugs use and their effects in RA [ 23, 24], we did use proxies of RA severity, including extra-articular manifestations of RA, number of rheumatology visits, and use of concomitant medications like glucocorticoids.
Patients with mutations affecting the globular head domain of myosin-9 have lower platelet counts and higher prevalence and severity of extra-hematological manifestations than the subjects with mutations in the tail domain.
At the theoretical level, we might add that our study suggests the use of a concept discussed by Amartya Sen – that "extra-welfarist" information about severity of disease is a necessary supplement to the "welfarist" framework currently employed in standard cost-effectiveness analysis [ 41].
After adjusting for trial, DGHs were significantly more likely to report the additional trial demands such as travelling and extra appointments as a higher severity grade of problem than teaching hospitals (p=0.02).
The presence and severity of any extra-pyramidal signs were graded using the motor component of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale UPDRSS).
To conquer this problem, we used multiple proxy variables to adjust for disease severity, such as extra-articular involvement, antirheumatic drug use, health services utilisation and consumption of pain medications.
