Sentence examples for initial attrition from inspiring English sources

Initial attrition was mainly because of study dropout, although failure to meet weight loss and/or adherence criteria prevented entry into the maintenance phase for individuals in 17 studies.

The initial attrition of cells within two hours of delivery via direct intramyocardial injection is largely the consequence of cell leak from the injection site, being "washed away" by local bleeding resulting from the injection and/or being expelled by myocardium contraction [ 19].
