The average time span between administrations of the L-PAQ was 8 months (range, 2 8)—a longer interval than in previous retest studies of other questionnaires measuring lifetime physical activity, which ranged from 1 week to 8 weeks (3, 4, 9).
The mean difference in SIF levels by autonomic neuropathy status was similar in those with a longer interval between the exam and the SIF measurement to those with a shorter interval.
The species divergence in weight gain plus a longer interval to achieve significant hepatic lipid droplet accumulation in the mice may be attributed to species, composition of diets (59 versus 70% fat), or the duration of HFD feeding.
In choriocarcinoma, patients with a longer interval from the antecedent pregnancy to presentation have an enhanced risk of refractory disease and treatment failure [ 65] and whilst cases of PSTT presenting with an interval of less than 48 months have a good prognosis those with a longer interval are rarely cured [ 31].
With our findings, we now look forward to proceed in our investigation in a prospective way and to a longer interval of follow-up.
Patients with an index colonoscopy in 2002 were seen after a longer interval than those with an index colonoscopy before 2002 (figure 2A C).
In other words, patients with a longer interval from diagnosis of primary tumor to brain metastasis might have worse general conditions following prolonged clinical progression than patients with a shorter interval from diagnosis of primary tumor to brain metastasis.
Patients were treated with corticosteroids at lower doses and for a longer interval than in previous trials.
In addition a longer interval length between prior and retreatment anti-EGFR therapy demonstrated a non-significant trend favoring an increased likelihood of obtaining a clinical benefit from anti-EGFR retreatment.
Radiation-induced necrosis and subsequent tumor regression is a time-dependent phenomenon in which a longer interval between the completion of CRT and surgery may increase the rate of pCR [ 17].
