Our results, therefore, may not be generalizable to high-incidence, resource-limited settings and to groups underrepresented in this study.
Respirators may be relatively costly to implement and of limited effectiveness in high-incidence, resource-limited settings (40 ).
Cumulative incidence after resource optimization for the five and ten-year time horizons are plotted in Fig. 5.
The sensitivity analyses are also limited, since all studies of ADEs in the ambulatory population were performed in the USA and thus may not reflect the incidence or resource use in Germany.
We examined new diabetes and CHD incidence, and resource utilization over the subsequent 3-year period (2005-2007) using age-sex-adjusted regression models to compare outcomes by MetS category.
Overall, there were no differences (as determined by logistic regression) in the incidence of resource use between the quetiapine IR and XR cohorts when all service visits were taken into account (odds ratio [OR] = 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.87, 1.94; p = 0.201).
The retrospective study present here revealed that the Xpert assay exhibited variable performance according to its clinical application in an intermediate-incidence, high-resource setting.
Sohn et al. reported that the impact of Xpert assay in a low-incidence, high-resource ambulatory setting is limited [ 18].
However, the performance of the Xpert assay has not yet been assessed in an intermediate-incidence, high-resource setting with respect to its different applications [ 9– 11].
In low-incidence, high-resource countries, efforts to control recent TB transmission are based largely on contact investigation, yet for many reasons, contact investigations may not be sufficiently intensive or comprehensive, even in successful TB control programs (35 ).
The assumed constant risks of individuals developing CRC would have under- or over-estimated CRC incidence and subsequent resource use for its treatment.
