For nearly a decade, this paradigm of systems failure defined the national movement to improve patient safety.
For these materials, the prediction of failure, defined as local material separation, is still nowadays a scientific challenge.
Membrane failure, defined by a threshold convective hydrogen leak rate, is obtained after 160 h of operation.
How is failure defined and dealt with in your family, your school, the activities you do outside of school, among your friends and in your community?
The primary end point was 1-year target lesion failure, defined as cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven target lesion revascularization.
"Airway failure", defined as the inability to breathe without endotracheal tube, differs from "weaning failure", defined as the inability to breathe without an invasive mechanical ventilation.
Those with virologic failure, defined as plasma HIV-1 RNA more than 400 copies/ml, had genotypic resistance assessed.
Severe respiratory failure defined as a PaO2/FiO2 < 100 on FiO2 > 0.9 and/or.
The primary outcome measure was time to treatment failure, defined as any occurrence of insufficient clinical response, exacerbation of underlying disease, or discontinuation due to an adverse event.
The primary end point is VG failure, defined as death or > or =75% stenosis in a treated VG at 12- to 18-month angiographic follow-up.
The primary endpoint was the 12-month incidence of target-vessel failure (defined as the composite of cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, or target-vessel revascularization).
