While others have suggested that an incentive applying to less than 15%to20%0% of a provider's patient panel is unlikely to induce provider response [ 10], these findings would indicate that for infrequent diagnoses and procedures, more than 30% of provider's patients might need to be impacted by an incentive in order to motivate change.
The presence of families during procedures was infrequent.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term survival is not significantly different between angioplasty and surgery, and late (three to eight year) revascularization procedures were infrequent.
Biliary complications after cardiopulmonary bypass procedures are infrequent but they carry a significant incidence of morbidity and mortality.
Intestinal complications after cardiopulmonary bypass procedures are infrequent but they carry a significant incidence of morbidity and mortality.
Potential droplet- and aerosol-generating procedures were infrequent: 5% of healthcare workers manipulated a patient's airway, and 4% administered aerosolized medication.
In the United States, potential droplet- and aerosol-generating procedures were infrequent: only one patient required mechanical ventilation, and few healthcare workers reported administering aerosolized medication or performing bronchoscopy.
The re-evaluation of procedures is infrequent in transfusion despite the rapid evolution of techniques and materials; for example, differential stresses are inflicted on erythrocytes, depending on the collection process (aphaeresis versus conventional whole blood), with consequences for neutrophils and (vascular) endothelial cells upon transfusion [ 4].
However, it is a painful and invasive procedure with infrequent but possible life-threatening complications [ 24].
However, readmission after this procedure, though infrequent, produces a catastrophic increase in both mortality and the length of ICU stay [ 19, 20].
Constipation-related complications and procedures were relatively infrequent.
