There were no exclusion criteria, participation was voluntary and refusal to participate did not impact on the continuum of antenatal care.
The impact of birth spacing, breast feeding and utilization of antenatal, delivery and postnatal services have clearly demonstrated the possible impact of the continuum-of-care approach [ 41] from antenatal to postnatal life on the survival and well-being of newborns.
She noted that others, including Horton and Graham, welcomed the unifying impact of the RMNCH continuum but expressed concern that it may contribute to the compartmentalization of women and girls viewing them primarily as mothers or future mothers [ 71].
However, the inclusion of participants with a range of time since injury from early post fracture to greater than two years has also helped ensure representation of impacts across the continuum of recovery.
For increased testing to have an impact, though, the continuum of care for key populations also needs to be strengthened, including effective linkages of HIV-positive patients to care, timely ART initiation and long-term retention and viral suppression.
LCA considers the environmental impacts along the continuum of a product's life (that is, from cradle to grave) from raw materials acquisition to production, use, and disposal or recovery.
First, future research might usefully consider how formal priority setting and resource allocation projects are situated within a larger organizational and political context and how resulting decisions have an impact on different parts of the continuum of care and/or different organizations entirely.
The impact of the clinical pathways along the continuum of care will also be analyzed by comparing the length of hospital stay, the hospital re-admissions rates, the institutionalization rates after hospital discharge, the patients' dependency levels, and complication rates.
In our study, items which reflect the highest impact on HRQoL are placed at the top of the continuum and those which reflect the lowest impact are placed at the bottom.
Studies on gene-diet interactions and the impact of various macronutrient compositions across the continuum of dysglycemia/insulin resistance warrant additional investigation.
Part of the "continuum of force".
