Sentence examples for integrated indices from inspiring English sources

The management of COPD aims to improve integrated indices such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Although none of these predictors appears to be sufficiently sensitive or specific in predicting weaning success, paediatric studies have used integrated indices, including respiratory drive, respiratory load, muscle strength and quality of gas exchange.

Three factors may explain why integrated indices do not improve upon the accuracy of prediction of weaning outcome of single indices.

Venkataraman et al. [ 7] and Farias et al. [ 6] found that integrated indices such as f/Vt and the compliance rate oxygenation and pressure index do not account for normal developmental changes in respiratory function, including mechanics and gas exchange and, therefore, are poor predictors of extubation success in infants and children.

Several adult and paediatric studies [ 7, 9, 13- 15] have attempted to define integrated weaning indices that include parameters in relation to respiratory muscle function, such as respiratory drive, respiratory load and muscle strength [ 35, 53, 57], but none of these integrated indices was found to be predictive of weaning outcome.

In this study, we propose a new, easy-to-follow, integrated Index of Biotic Integrity (IBIint) which combines plants and birds to assess ecological integrity of tropical forest fragments.

Therefore, we set a integrate index to describe this relationship which we call as TCFF.

The empirical forecasting results for two benchmark datasets, the Shenzhen Integrated Index (SZII and Standard andd Poor's 500 (S&P 500), indicate that although all hybrid models perform better than at least one of their individual components, the series combination strategy produces more accurate hybrid models for time series forecasting.

The empirical forecasting results for two benchmark datasets, that is, the closing of the Shenzhen Integrated Index (SZII) and that of Standard and Poor's 500 (S&P 500), indicate that although all hybrid models perform better than at least one of their individual components, the series combination strategy produces more accurate hybrid models for financial time series forecasting.

To do so, the benchmark datasets Shenzhen Integrated Index (SZII) and S&P 500 are selected.

The Shenzhen Integrated Index (SZII) dataset has a total of 216 monthly observations, spanning from January 1993 to December 2010 (Wang et al. 2012).
