53 Prevalence rates reported in the current study are somewhat higher than meta-analytic findings, which found a prevalence rate of 11.3% in studies that used the measurement method adopted in this study (ie, self-labelling with a bullying definition).
For both PM2.5 and PM10 exposure, the meta-estimate from studies using fixed site monitors was higher than the meta-estimate from studies using modeling-based exposure assessment techniques.
The cross-informant correlation for the total difficulties score (0.39) was higher than the meta-analytic mean of the Achenbach et al. [ 1] study (0.25), lower than the SDQ results reported by Goodman [ 5] (0.48) and van Widenfelt et al.[ 8] (0.47), but similar to the results of Becker et al.[ 6] (0.39) and Koskelainen et al.[ 7] (0.38).
IPD-MA have higher power than meta-regression to detect the effect of an interaction between covariates and treatment, and are preferable when the interest is in estimating interactions with patient-level covariates [ 9- 11].
The overall meta-OR was significantly higher than 1: the meta-OR for manual work was 2.02 [1.57;2.60], and the meta-OR for vibration at work was 2.88 [1.36;6.07].
Studies with mixed fiber exposure (n = 10) had an intermediate meta-KL value (0.13; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.23) that was approximately three times higher than the estimated meta-KL for chrysotile alone (Table 2).
Prevalence of high-risk HPV in the study population is notably higher than in a meta-analysis of HIV-infected women including 20 studies, mostly from North America [ 28].
Median and mean values, and the exceedance percentages of [U] and [Rn] within the plutons are significantly higher than those from meta-sedimentary rocks outside the plutons (Tables 1 and 2).
36 Reported long term reoperation rates (16% after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and 24% after adjustable gastric banding) were two to three times higher than in our meta-analysis.
Tgs of styrene polymers with CF3 substituted on the ortho position of the phenyl ring were much higher than those of the meta and para substituted styrenes due to the steric hindrance of the bulky CF3 group close to the polymer main chain, which resulted in a decrease in the segment mobility of the polymer chains and an increasing Tg of the polymers.
It has been shown theoretically that a benzene ring connected between two electrodes in a para configuration should have a conductance that is several orders of magnitude higher than that of a meta configuration[7, 17].
