Because such traits are likely to be most informative when they signal resources in high demand and short supply, the expectation is that sexual selection should favor indicator traits linked to limiting resources.
Coordination across levels of care is becoming increasingly important due to rapid advances in technology, high specialisation and changes in the organization of healthcare services; to date, however, the development of indicators to evaluate coordination has been limited.
It should be emphasised that our results regarding indicators are limited to country-level associations, and do not take into account within-country variations and individual-level associations [ 13].
While a great deal of anatomical and morphological information is known about the glossopterids, growth habit indicators have been limited to wood anatomical analyses and the presence of leaf mats.
The prognostic indicators investigated were limited to those assessed in NDIT.
Publications about report TAT in radiology workflow [ 7], TAT for processing medication orders [ 8] or patient cycle time [ 9] demonstrate that these process indicators are not limited to pathology or laboratory services.
The indicators used were limited to those collected in the 2004 NSSO: type of structure of the dwelling unit, type of toilet, type of fuel used for cooking and source of drinking.
For intermediate outcome indicators, we limited the denominators to patients for whom we were able to extract at least one non-missing test value in the defined period (usually 15 months) and the numerator to the subgroup of patients whose last recorded test value was within the range required by the indicator.
Despite rapid globalization of the veterinary profession, our understanding of the scope and quality of these demographic changes in other regions of the world, their potential effects on veterinary education and research, and their relationship to quantitative demographic indicators is limited.
However, differences in healthcare organization structure and variations in measurement of process of care indicators limit the scope of such comparisons.
