We established a cohort of Medicare participants for investigating air pollution and mortality on longer-term time frames.
Despite these methodologic complexities, we have shown that a cohort can be established using Medicare participants and routine monitoring data for investigating air pollution and mortality on longer-term time frames.
If we use hospital or longer-term time frames to judge the efficacy of our studied ICU therapies, we increase the likelihood that these non-attributable events may occur, resulting in so much noise that it diminishes our effect to detect a signal (that is, the intervention being studied has no chance at altering them) [ 23].
Further research should determine cost effectiveness based on a longer term time frame and should define criteria for targeting patients in clinical practice.
Are results measured on a short-term or long-term time frame?
"But investors should have longer term time horizons.
In sensitivity analysis, the time horizon was varied from 5 to 20 years, to reflect short-term and longer-term decision-making time frames, and to explicitly model the effect of intervention duration on the spread of setup and capital expenditure (among other fixed costs).
Flexibility in terms of a longer time frame for the implementation of commitments is essential but not sufficient.
The temporal dichotomy is a reflection of the fact that TBARS measurements take a momentary "snapshot" of lipid peroxidation rather than representing long-term damage, whereas neural cell biomarkers provide a much longer integrative time frame.
Which is why longer the time frame, the more meaningful the comparison is expected to be.
Joeri Rogelj of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria, also pointed out that the convention in UN climate negotiations was to refer to targets in terms of longer time frames of 20 or 30 years.
