In December 2012, NHS England decided against the implementation of this formula because of concern that, as it would increase the proportion of resources allocated to areas with better health outcomes, it was inconsistent with the organisation's responsibilities to reduce inequalities in outcomes from NHS care.
Based on this feedback, the authors recommend an aggressive implementation of the formula standing for EDucation, POlicy support, STAandards, Demonstrations and INdustry involvement (EDPOSTADIN) at least for popularizing CFLs.
An illustration of an implementation of this formula is shown in Additional file 9.
Our study suggests that implementation of CKD-EPI formula would raise the number of older individuals with CKD in comparison with the MDRD formula, with consequences for therapeutic decision making procedures and resulting in more referrals to nephrologists.
The most likely scenario is the implementation of a mathematical formula that would still take into account grass-court ability and results but would eliminate the subjectivity of the seeding process.
However, it has been shown that indiscriminate implementation of these formulas may inappropriately suit individual patient's requirements.
In the second part of the paper, we then investigate the practical implementation of the proposed formula and study the possible application of local, global or hybrid numerical approximations of that remaining integral, so as to further increase the computational efficiency.
Whereas based on these results, implementation of CKD-EPI formula would raise the number of older individuals with CKD on the basis of eGFR estimated with the MDRD formula, with as a consequence more hospitalizations, costs and also other therapeutic implications.
A number of "standards-essential patents" used by smartphones for connecting to wireless and mobile networks in effect embody the implementation of a mathematical formula.
The Hilbert filter h(t) is not causal and has infinite duration, which makes direct implementation of the above formula impossible.
