While increasingly popular, these methods are infrequently used in synergy, and rarely at fine spatial scales.
The extent of overestimation (or its clinical significance) has been questioned, and CRs methods are infrequently used.
Moreover, operational algorithms for pathogen-specific cases of pneumonia based on diagnosis codes typically lack adequate sensitivity since diagnostic tests (i.e., culture, serological, and polymerase chain reaction [PCR] tests, as well as invasive sampling methods) are infrequently performed in clinical practice.
Graphical methods were used infrequently to convey probabilistic information, despite evidence that they can enhance risk perception by exploiting rapid (automatic) perceptual capabilities of users [ 63].
However, Bayesian methods were used infrequently within the included reviews; with the development of guidelines to support Bayesian analyses, it may be that such methods would become more popular.
Methods used to evaluate convergence, heterogeneity and inconsistency were infrequently reported, but from those providing detail, methods appeared varied.
Multiple methods to elicit beliefs from experts for inclusion in a Bayesian study have been used; however, the measurement properties of these methods have been infrequently evaluated.
As there are a relatively small number of internal VM methods which are infrequently added between versions, we manually inspected and patched them for taint propagation as needed.
Survey methods have been infrequently used to assess the epidemiology of pandemic influenza virus infection in the general population.
These methods have been infrequently used in HRQoL research, although an approach using the partial gamma statistic has been used [ 36].
