Further, our population appeared to be representative of other Australian antenatal populations [ 15, 16], including that of the study hospital [ 14], strengthening the generalizability of the results.
We appreciate Professor Racke's critique, including that the studies were "well performed".
There may be several reasons for the discrepancies between the studies including that the studies were performed on different tissue types.
The pooled analysis including that study confirmed the increased risk of having migraine in underweight compared with normal weight subjects (PAEE 1.21; 95% CI, 1.08-1.37; P = 0.017), with moderate statistical heterogeneity (I2 = 63.3%; P for Q test = 0.002).
The importance of including that study in the review was to highlight that there may be cultural differences between countries in the processes of infection management and antibiotic prescribing for residents at the end of life in LTCFs.
Strengths include that the study was conducted in a routine clinical program where CD4 count testing and ART were provided free.
Limitations include that the study provided inconclusive evidence for the association between infarcts in a specific region and poststroke depression.
Some limitations of our study included that the study was not randomized, the relatively small sample size analyzed, and the geographic limitation of survey distribution to only the Hamilton area.
Other inclusion criteria include that the study report on empirical research, in peer-reviewed, English language and scholarly journals, as well as the abstract and full text are available.
Merck promptly reported those results to the Food and Drug Administration, and in June 2000, submitted proposed prescribing information to the agency, including that study's cardiovascular results.
