Differences of implementation were observed in terms of numbers and percentages of activities related to different components of the program as well as in the patterns of activities across time.
In SK, changes in implementation were observed more so in process than in volume; health districts increasingly made use of partnerships and liaisons to delegate and share the responsibility for health promotion programming and inter-sectoral work increased over time.
Of significance for field implementation, viscous fingering was observed in water displacement of previously injected CMC and CMC-nZVI.
A small but significant increase in the behavioural target of help seeking during the implementation of the campaign was observed in the target area.
Thus, there appears to be unequivocal evidence that in both hypertensive subjects with and without diabetes, benefits of antihypertensive treatment on major CV outcomes usually appear shortly after treatment implementation, in line with what was observed in the UKPDS.
Conversely, 3 years after DPO implementation, a significant treatment increment was observed in every condition tested, with the only exception being insulin administration, which showed an increasing but not statistically significant trend.
The training package also appeared to reduce pre-hospital delay in terms of call to arrival at scene by a small amount, although a statistical significant reduction was attained only during rather than post the implementation; however, no corresponding reduction was observed in the time interval between call and arrival at hospital.
The miscalculation of set tidal volume based on patients' actual body weight rather than predicted body weight has been identified as a barrier to implementation of LPV [ 2], and was observed in 73% of patients in this current study.
A trend towards the implementation of gastrostomy in older children was observed in our study; this, in our opinion, reflects the growing availability of the medical procedure and the catch-up phenomenon, which is demonstrated by the young patients instead of older patients requiring nutritional support.
