Further difficulties in early diagnosis can be ascribed to delays in results of drug susceptibility testing (the gold standard for diagnosis of MDR-TB) which is sometimes not feasible at baseline for all patients.
The general consensus of these documents is that monitoring of forest cover change using satellite remote sensing is practical and feasible for determining baseline deforestation rates against which future rates of change can be based, provided that adequate validation and accuracy assessments are conducted and documented.
In the primary analyses, missing data will be replaced with the feasible and transparent 'Baseline Observation Carried Forward' (BOCF) technique, and for sensitivity also a multiple imputation technique will apply.
However, the use of these parameters was considered not feasible for reuse of baseline VOIs due to (severe) image artefacts that were observed in the registered images.
Secondary functional outcome measures were recorded at baseline (where feasible), discharge from hospital, six weeks, and three and 12 months.
In addition, SHARE FI grip strength measurements will be performed at the end of the each baseline interview, if feasible (see Table 2).
Measurements of CECs and CEPs were feasible in all patients at baseline and in 29 patients at surgery, whereas only a small proportion of patients had blood samples drawn at 1 week after surgery, and statistical analyses were not performed for the latter group.
In centres where it is feasible a PET CT is recommended at baseline.
Wherever feasible, depending on local contextual factors, baseline assessment should include severe pregnancy-related complications and key interventions [ 3].
It is feasible to use accelerometers to collect baseline objective physical activity data by post from a large number of participants in a limited time period.
