No differences were noted between the two groups with respect to secondary outcome measures, including time to endpoint, occurrence of fever, type and number of microbiologically documented infections, and administration of intravenous antibiotics.
For instance, Robbins et al. (2004, p. 276) define study skills as "activities necessary to organize and complete schoolwork tasks and to prepare for and take tests" and operationalize the construct using measures including time management, leadership skills, communication skills, and the un-defined category of "study skills and habits" (see also Credé and Kuncel 2008; Lotkowski et al. 2004).
Despite the injection of federal funds -- much of it used to buy new vehicles, radios and other equipment -- the state by some measures, including time spent in training exercises, was worse off.
Direct comparison of suboptimal ART adherence prevalence from various studies is hindered by differences in study design and adherence measures, including time reference periods.
When comparing intervention to control, there were trends toward benefit for several outcome measures including time to onset of pain, walking impairment parameters (i.e., distance, stair climbing), all quality of life subscale scores, and exercise behaviors.
Information was extracted from each included study on: 1) characteristics of study participants, including geographic location, sex, baseline CD4 count, baseline HIV viral load, 2) methods of HSV-2 ascertainment, including details of laboratory assays as appropriate, and 3) outcome measures, including time-to-event data, CD4 counts, and viral load, along with the follow-up time for the study.
Common measures include time limits on signing and security to protect the physical wellbeing of young heart-throb stars.
Subsidiary clinical outcome measures include time to first bleed and a descriptive analysis of all severe bleeds.
Additional secondary outcome measures included: time to dry drain holes, deep and superficial drain outputs, vacuum-assisted dressing application to the incision and drain holes.
Clinical measures included time from the end of surgery to extubation (extubation time), age, height, weight, surgical time, mean indirect blood pressure during surgery, mean heart rate during surgery, mean end-tidal carbon dioxide during surgery (mETCO2), mean body temperature during surgery (mBT), and total amount of fentanyl.
Third, the top performing telecommunications measures include time windows and activities that are not just those that are mostly highly correlated with population but rather those that contribute unique information not found elsewhere (e.g. calls out made at 11 pm, text messages received at 8 am, and calls in at 2 am).
