Prior to analyses, phenotype harmonization must occur, whereby phenotypic variables are identified that have had data collected using similar methods across all or most participating studies.
Phan presented the expanded version of his project at the ITP Spring Show where the harmonization of heartbeats only occurred about half the time, despite most of the participants knowing each other.
All serious adverse events (SAEs) falling under International Committee on Harmonization (ICH) criteria and occurring during the study period were recorded and classified according to ICH definition.
While implementation of electronic health record (EHR) systems is rapidly occurring, the harmonization of multiple data systems and the identification of crucial information (e.g., date of diagnosis and type of diabetes) remain difficult (54).
Even within geographic regions, as defined in the present study, challenges related to harmonization and validation of outcome measures may occur, potentially further increasing trial data variance [ 40].
Chords reminiscent of German chorale (hymn melody harmonizations) and tremolo or pizzicato (plucked) accompaniments occur along with organlike counterpoint and pedal points (sustained notes against changing harmonies).
When attempting post harmonization of data from existing cohort studies the challenges described in this paper are likely to occur.
Increases in health aid occurred in parallel with a proliferation of global health actors, which has heightened concerns about poor harmonization, as well as limited alignment between donor programs and country priorities.
Following harmonization discussions to identify potential areas of cultural differences, PRO item pools were developed based on the most commonly occurring coding themes.
A near panic occurred in early December in the popular London newspapers when the ministers of finance of Germany and France, Oskar Lafontaine and Dominique Strauss- Kahn, issued a joint statement from Brussels calling for "rapid progress towards tax harmonization in Europe" — everyone knows that "harmonization" is code for raising Britain's Misery Index up to Continental levels.
