14 20 22 23 27 The implementation features of the Vajpayee Arogyashree scheme can possibly help to explain its measured benefits, including mortality benefits that are rarely measurable in evaluations of other health insurance schemes.
Eligible patients had measurable disease or non-measurable, evaluable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (Eisenhauer et al, 2009).
Patients had to have measurable or evaluable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) [ 5, 15] although patients with lytic or mixed bone lesions were permitted to enter the study without evidence of measurable disease.
It was the initial intention of the authors to use a strict methodology for paper selection, focusing on objectively measurable variables, separate evaluation of different fracture types and different associated injuries, and randomized controlled trails.
In patients with measurable disease, tumour evaluation, based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, was performed at baseline, every 3 weeks for 6 weeks and at 9-weekly intervals thereafter.
In patients without measurable disease, the evaluation of response to therapy was on the basis of changes in CA-125 as per the Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup criteria [ 8, 11].
These three approaches focused on the 'specific' to achieve measurable objectives; continuous evaluation of performance against defined objectives, outputs and standards; and rationing of resources by effectiveness criteria to make the work of physicians more transparent through control and surveillance.
Enrollment required nonresectable stage IIIB or IV NSCLC measurable by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumour (RECIST), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and a life expectancy of >12 weeks.
It was the initial intention of the authors to use a strict methodology for paper analysis, focusing on objectively measurable variables, separate evaluation of different Danis Weber and Lauge Hansen classifications and randomized controlled trials.
