Thus, the NSCLC clusters identified using our clustering methodology are associated with different disease outcomes, suggesting that these genomic clusters represent clinically distinct subgroups of the disease.
The SMIS2 methodology was associated with a lower sensitivity (p<0.001) and a higher proportion of missing information (p<0.001) than the SMIS1 methodology.
Because cross-sectional surveys are commonly used to characterize the epidemiology of HCV and other conditions in local drug user populations, understanding whether sampling methodology is associated with prevalence will help guide inferences regarding these data.
In addition, we used the 2010 Journal Citation Reports (JCR) index to determine whether the appropriateness of the statistical methodology was associated with the impact factor of the publishing journal.
The extended simulation methodology was associated with a modest but significant and persistent positive impact on students' prescribing skills that was additional to the benefit directly consequent on participation in the associated prescribing workshops already demonstrated in a (non-randomised) controlled trial by Coombes and colleagues [ 26].
If compared with other similar methodologies, its main advantages are associated to a higher stability of the organic solution contained into the pores of the fiber, which acts as a lipophilic membrane during the extraction process.
However, empirical evidence exists that indicates poorly reported studies are associated with larger estimates of intervention effect, i.e. poor reporting reflects poor methodology, which in turn is associated with biased results [ 20].
through the minimum environment impact analysis methodology and is associated with waste generation at utility production and transportation levels.
The findings identify elements of the participatory methodology which were associated with increased household and community participation and better household opinions of the projects and also show a link between participation and the probability of children's regular school attendance.
Such reforms, together with developments in areas such as research methodology, have been associated with substantial increases in the costs of introducing new medicines.
