The primary outcome measures for the present meta-analysis were categorized to sway magnitude (sway amplitude, sway area, path length) and sway velocity (mean velocity, maximum speed) in total, AP, and ML direction.
Measures for the present analysis included demographic and health risk factors: age, ethnicity, education, income, BMI, smoking status, and alcohol consumption.
With the scope of energy saving, Thermal Performance Factors (TPF) obtained at various ReL and AW are compared with other HTE devices to enlighten the competitive advantage of this air-injection HTE measure for the present ribbed wavy channel.
Therefore, the CHIP-CE Achievement domain was chosen as primary outcome measure for the present study.
In addition, the results of this survey served as an external quality control measure for the present study.
The primary efficacy measure for the present analysis, as for the overall CERTIFY study, was the combined incidence of proximal DVT, symptomatic non-fatal PE and VTE related death occurring during the core study (covering the treatment period of 8-20 dafterfter which compression ultrasound sonography was performed).
The present study uses information about activation foci revealed by a former fMRI study [ 6] to provide regional constraints for source models to be applied on EEG data measured for the present study similar to recent work of Trautmann-Lengsfeld et al. [ 29].
The public ETS measure for the present study did not differentiate between exposure in cars or public transportation (high concentration) and exposure in outdoor locations, such as bus stops or restaurant patios (low concentration), resulting in low specificity and possibly contributing to exposure misclassification.
ITBV, however, was measured specifically for the present study.
Satisfaction with Sexual Relationship was assessed with a one-item measure developed for the present study that asked participants 'how satisfied are you with your sexual relationship?', on a 5-point Likert scale.
We used three measures of IMT for the present study: a) mean IMT (the mean of all IMT estimates from the left and right CCAs, considered an overall measure of the atherosclerotic process), b) mean maximal IMT (the mean of the points of maximal thickness from the right and left CCAs), and c) mean minimal IMT (the mean of the points of minimal thickness from the right and left CCAs).
