One modest strategy might involve simply evaluating the differences in intervention specifics when different strategies are explored to minimize differences in patient sample and/or in the control of confounding from included covariates.
This testing strategy is thus optimal for the CURE model and will also minimize differences in ranking of selection candidates among different statistical models (SIMPLE, NAÏVE and CURE) and, thus, increase robustness of the genetic evaluations.
To minimize differences in the push-out force due to a different length of the bone or implant, maximum force was set in ratio to the total bone area in contact with the implanted K-wire [ 26, 34]: Strength of fixation σ u = F max / π DH [ σ u : strength of fixation (Mpa ), F max : initial push-out force (N ), D : implant diameter (mm ), H : Bone length (mm ) ].
In the Bronx, detectives have a number of ways to minimize differences in appearance, to encourage selections based on facial features alone.
Water was added to the diet without CSB at 6.3% of the as fed weight (equal to as fed level of CSB) to minimize differences in diet acceptability due to dustiness.
To minimize differences in cumulative oxaliplatin dose between patients, oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy was evaluated using an oxaliplatin-specific scale during the 2-week period after completion of the sixth cycle of treatment.
This matching procedure was designed to minimize differences in clinical course and symptoms that could be attributable to the matched variables.
The results suggest that for typical luminance settings of current LCDs, it is possible to raise ambient illumination to minimize differences in eye adaptation, potentially reducing visual fatigue while also complying with the TG18 specifications for controlled contrast rendition.
All of them were of Southern-European origin, which minimize differences in population structure [25], [26].
We randomized manuscripts to minimize differences in terms of baseline quality and type of study (intervention, longitudinal, cross-sectional, others).
Thus, for the most part, we tried to minimize differences in familiarity across conditions as much as possible.
