In Section 6.1, the considered acoustic systems, instrumental performance measures, and algorithmic settings are introduced.
A diverse range of study designs, outcome measures and study settings were used in the primary studies.
The highly heterogeneous nature of the included studies in terms of design, as well as interventions, outcomes measured, populations and settings limited our ability to perform more quantitative syntheses.
The study does appear to establish a causal description that applies to the context of the particular treatment conditions, outcome measures, time, persons, and settings used in this study.
Early detection of novel GII.4 variants could be used to forecast the NoV outbreak burden and allows enhanced surveillance and early implementation of preventive measures in populations and settings where outbreaks would most likely occur.
PROMIS is a U.S.-based cooperative group of research sites and centers of excellence convened to develop and standardize PRO measures across studies and settings.
The disparities in the amount of measurement error between ours and the normative samples [ 36] highlight the importance of evaluating outcome measures in the populations and settings for which these measures will be used.
Thus, there is a need to (1) identify and characterise robust rehabilitation impact indices (RIIs) that can be measured across sites and settings for comparative effectiveness research, and (2) determine the key predictors of these RIIs so that the former can be adjusted for meaningful evaluation across sites and settings.
Other situations with different data structures where mediation is present could also be explored, e.g. situations where the mediator and the primary independent variable as well as the outcome are repeatedly measured, categorical outcomes, and settings with more complex pathways between variables.
