Comparison of outcome data in the two papers revealed no important differences in the overall estimates for in-hospital mortality, stroke and paraplegia, and therefore the EAC saw no necessity to change the assumptions in the cost model.
The relationship between disadvantage and both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes is visible both in the overall estimates (table 1) and in the small area estimates reflected in the maps.
There were substantial differences according to geographical region, in part explaining the heterogeneity in the overall estimates.
Persons who self-reported race as none of the three major racial/ethnic groups were included in the overall estimates but excluded from analyses in which race/ethnicity was the stratification variable.
This information aids in attempts at replication of results and in calculating overall estimates of the power of a particular genotype to predict disease state.
Thus, the methods are being used to calculate average treatment effects in populations with very different distributions of effect-modifying variables, resulting in different overall estimates.
While there are uncertainties about the biological uptake efficiency, these introduce only a moderate uncertainty in our overall estimates of costs.
Reducing the uncertainties in categories of emissions associated with product end-of-life, transport, and associated with nonfiber inputs will most greatly reduce uncertainty in the overall estimates.
The present data-set was tested for robustness against this assumption and no significant difference in the overall estimates could be found while adjusting for potential publication bias.
