This study improved on previous methods by excluding data for 6 months after first secure email use, comprehensively adjusting for baseline utilisation, deriving propensity scores from a robust set of independent variables, and examining clinical services utilisation 7 18 months after the index date.
Additional sensitivity analyses were conducted by repeating the main computations with the fixed effect method and by excluding trials with high risk of bias.
To correct for air in emphysematous areas, method 1 was adjusted by excluding the voxels below -910HU, based on reference [ 22 ].
One recognised issue is the difficulty of accurately measuring the active forms of vitamin D. Advances made include some new methods addressing the potential interference by excluding epimers and isobars.
This method defines the fetal growth potential by excluding pathological factors such as smoking and diabetes, and individual adjustment or "customisation" for the baby's sex and the mother's height, weight, ethnic origin, and parity.
Out of the ten SNPs that were successfully sequenced by the Sanger method after excluding all the SNPs that were annotated in Ensembl variation, four SNPs were present in the 1000 genomes data and six were truly novel.
We also estimated the crude extent of clustering by using the n method, without excluding the index case.
Our method uses a feature selection algorithm which improved classification accuracy by excluding redundant and non-discriminative features.
A method is presented for evaluating the intrinsic fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) by excluding the effect of welding-induced residual stresses.
This method saves time in terms of mobile phase preparation and cuts cost by excluding additional purchase of expensive chemicals.
From about 1600, so great was the superiority of European arms and military methods that non-European societies could survive, if at all, only by excluding or imitating them.
