Visual assessment of mounting indicators resulted in a manual detection performance of 91.3% sensitivity (SN), 99.8% specificity (SP), and 94.5% positive predictive value (PPV).
Although the detailed approach does not lend itself to be implemented as a routine monitoring program, the study concluded that the inclusion of biological indicators with physical and chemical indicators resulted in a useful index for biological integrity.
For ER visits but not school absences, failure to incorporate study indicators resulted in a different estimate of effect (unadjusted IRR 0.77, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.99).
Failure to take stratification by study into account, as illustrated in the Poisson models without study indicators, resulted in a different estimate for one outcome, ER visits, but not the other, school absences.
Titanyl based indicators provide detection through reaction of the indicator resulting in a dosimeter type sensor, while porphyrin based indicators provide a reversible interaction more suitable to continuous monitoring applications.
Persistent increases in the availability of once-limited nutrients may decrease the utility of ornaments as indicators, resulting in sexual selection favoring either novel or preexisting traits indicative of other more pertinent resource pools.
The drought based RRV index was subsequently calculated from long-term (1981 2012) RRV indicators, resulting in means of 0.52 ± 0.25, 0.53 ± 0.21 and 0.30 ± 0.18 for the three watersheds, respectively.
The performance standard could even be updated following repeated measurements of these quality indicators, resulting in continuous quality improvement [ 10].
It enables identification of SSI indicators resulting in re-hospitalization, even in institutions other than the ones that performed the original procedure; at present, hospitals are rarely able to track these events.
Sometimes, a search for indicators resulted in finding papers discussing SIA tools and vice versa.
