A still limited but growing number of hypofractionation trials have reported acceptable short-term levels of toxicity and biochemical control, but most have insufficient follow-up to ensure the long-term safety and efficacy of this approach.
Many surgeons believe that primary fascial closure with mesh reinforcement should be the goal of abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), yet others have reported acceptable outcomes when mesh is used to bridge the fascial edges.
Nevertheless, small series and observational studies have reported acceptable results with the use of tigecycline for MDR-VAP [ 43, 44].
Several studies have reported acceptable psychometric properties of the original English version [ 22, 25- 27] and of a Swedish translation [ 28] of the NEECHAM Confusion Scale (Table 1).
In instances where disease involves only the medial orbital wall, authors have reported acceptable outcomes with resection of lamina papyracea and periorbita, leaving vital orbital contents intact.
Studies using both non-clinical [ 39, 40] and clinical samples of adolescents [ 41] have reported acceptable internal consistency reliabilities, with coefficient alphas ranging from 0.87 to 0.94.
Studies using both non-clinical [ 39, 40] and clinical samples of adolescents [ 41] have reported acceptable internal consistency reliabilities, with coefficient alphas ranging from.87 to.94.
Findings from several studies of the psychometric properties of the MCMI-II have reported acceptable test-retest reliability, and generally acceptable levels of convergent and discriminant validity of the scales [ 35].
A number of studies have investigated the accuracy of CGM devices in critical illness and have reported acceptable CGM performance [ 23- 25], but the clinical efficacy and effectiveness of CGM devices in daily-life ICU practice is not yet established.
Other studies, the majority limited to the combination of LEF with INF, have reported acceptable efficacy, although there has been a concern about the safety and longer-term tolerability of anti-TNF when combined with LEF.
