Univariate Cox proportionate hazards modelling was performed using an unadjusted model for each covariate, and we then constructed a multivariate model using a forward elimination method and entry criteria of p≤0.05.
Abstractors are centrally trained, and use uniform definitions, data collection methods, and data entry software.
In Manitoba, hospital abstracts are collected in each hospital by centrally trained data abstractors using uniform definitions, data collection methods, and data entry software.
Underlined entries denote the regulations determined by experimental methods, and italicized entries denote the regulations implied by previous studies.
To minimise variability, training workshops on BP measurement methods and proper data entry in the clinical records took place throughout the 1-year project period.
The database is organised around genes, anatomical terms and developmental stages (see Materials and methods, GUDMAP entries) and can be queried by gene (via gene symbol), by anatomy (via anatomy term), by molecular function (via Gene Ontology annotation) and by accession ID for genes, probes and entries (MGI, Entrez, Ensembl, etc).
The majority of the facilities have participated in the previous WHO Global Survey on Maternal and Newborn Health and the data collectors and their supervisors are conversant with the data collection and entry methods.
It establishes a national risk-adjusted benchmark for infection rates, antibiotics use and invasive device-use ratios through uniform case definitions, data-collection methods, data entry and analysis.
The complexity of modern digital systems requires complex design entry methods and thus, language based designs are often an appealing alternative for schematics.
The same number of enumerators, community entry methods and sampling methods were used for the baseline survey.
