With a high discriminatory power, these instruments can reveal minor outcome differences.
MPS placement must be compared to temporary placement of a FCSEMS in a large number of patients with refractory biliary leaks to have adequate power to detect minor outcome differences.
However, most of the studies using self-expanding stents have small population sizes due to the low incidence of RBES, and studies with a patient population large enough to have adequate power to detect minor outcome differences are generally impractical.
The effect of claw trimmer was low for most lesions and very low for CORK, indicating that differences in recording of claw colour and diseases between claw trimmers had minor effect on the outcome.
No variance was found that was attributable to the duplicate of the tumor sample, implicating that the same sample, treated independently, had only a minor effect on the outcome of gene expression profiles.
Other explanations could be that the previous courses on related subjects were given by non-clinicians and/or basic research scientists with no clinical orientation, having a minor effect on the EBM outcomes.
The parameter h determines the steepness of the sigmoid function σ of Eq (2), and has a minor effect on the evolutionary outcome.
Moreover, because of the relatively small size of the air bubbles and use of relatively high spatial resolution CT system, we estimate that the effect caused by the air bubbles has a minor effect on our study outcome.
Nevertheless, minor adverse outcomes are common in older asthmatics using LABA/ICS combinations at daily recommended dosages: a survey found that, 41% and 51% of patients reported side effects attributed to ICS and LABA, respectively; the most common side effects were voice changes, sore throat, and tremors.
