This measure was applied to assess the impact of proximity, i.e. whether a high percentage of a county's population living in a municipality where a radiological provider exists could explain high examination rates.
In the opposite end of the scale was Østfold and Telemark, in these counties a large proportion of the population lived in municipalities with radiological services, and had correspondingly high examination rates.
The overall screening mammography rate in the US across all ethnicities is 72.4% 21 and this high-examination rate has resulted in improved breast cancer survival 5.
BER: Blood Examination Rate.
Patients of providers reimbursed predominantly through salary were more satisfied, had significantly higher eye and foot examination rates, significantly more frequent tests for albuminuria, and better glycemic control (19).
The strengths of the study include a relatively large sample size, a high response rate, simultaneous examination of preference and perception of norm, directly comparing various consenting options, and uniquely addressing Islamic/Arab culture.
The strengths of the study include a large sample size, a high response rate, simultaneous examination of preference, perception of norm, and perception of current practice, specifically addressing near miss ME, and being the first in the Islamic/Arab culture.
Several sources of bias were minimised in this study because of the cohort study design, the extremely high attendance rate (conscription examinations were mandatory by law), the use of a standardised protocol for blood pressure and anthropometric measurements, and the use of official registries for assessment of socioeconomic status and of the outcome.
Physical examination found a high heart rate (107 bpm).
A high recall rate for diagnostic examination can also be considered as harm for mammographic screening participants owing to an increase in unnecessary examinations.
The strengths of the study are a high response rate and an objective examination type.
