Greater perceptions of risk may lead to fatalism and avoidance while lower perceptions of risk may cause underestimation.
Finally, the mismatch between the temporal resolution of our predicted concentrations (monthly) and the duration of typical toxicity tests (days) may lead to underestimation of risk.
This may lead to underestimation of risk of unintended pregnancy following procedures, with the omission of miscarriage or abortion not requiring hospitalization.
Thus, lack of registration of revisions may cause underestimation of the overall revision rate in our study, but it would not have biased relative risk estimates substantially.
Findings indicate that subjective, individual analysis of a patient's prognosis as well as isolated clinical parameters may lead to underestimation of the risk of complications and a delay in ICU referral [25].
Potential underreporting by clinics into the database is an important limitation of the databases, as it may lead to underestimation of ONJ risk in the population.
Curtailed follow-up may cause underestimation of the SSI rate.
Thus, overall there may be an underestimation of the real risk of developing knee OA.
One limitation of the study was the low participation rate which may lead to underestimation of the real risk.
Therefore, the effect sizes of known CD loci may be an underestimation of their actual relative risk.
