If a patient died during an episode of admission, the episode of admission was also considered as an incomplete admission.
These incomplete admission episodes resulted from patient transfers to/from ICUs that did not contribute to the Lothian regional dataset.
In addition to these measures, we undertook a sensitivity analysis in which we included the group with incomplete admission episodes to recalculate incidence using countPMV as the numerator.
APACHE-II score could not be calculated in 2 patients due to incomplete admission data adeceased On the day of BAL, mean CPIS revealed 6.4 (standard deviation 2.4).
Incomplete admission implies patients were transferred to BIPU from other acute psychiatric facilities or transferred to other acute psychiatric facilities from BIPU.
Baseline characteristics for patients with incomplete admission episodes (n = 208) had similar baseline characteristics to the study population although a higher proportion required PMV (11.1% vs 4.4%) [see Additional file 1, Table S3].
In the sensitivity analysis, inclusion of the group with incomplete admission episodes (n = 208) gave a countPMV incidence of up to 5.8 per 100 ICU admissions (95% CI = 5.3 to 6.3), or 8.8 per 100 ventilated ICU admissions (95% CI = 8.0 to 9.6).
On Friday, when the governor turned over documents to journalists and issued a statement that described his previous remarks about his cottage repairs as "incorrect and incomplete," the admission cast a pall over Mr. Rowland's political future, since it could link him to a widening federal investigation into the awarding of state contracts.
Results are presented for 102 patients as in three cases the survey was incomplete and hospital admissions data were unable to be linked to survey data and these three cases were excluded from the analysis.
He apparently wrote a lot: "a great many treatises and many dialogues" (ibid. iv 4; Diogenes lists about 30 titles, and his bibliography is on his own admission incomplete).
