Using the conventional cut-off score for BDI-6 of < 7 for moderate depression, we found a sensitivity of 0.50, but a specificity of 0.83.
The moderate association we found with higher diesel particulate matter levels may in part be due to some correlation with metals.
Based on an earlier controlled clinical trial evaluating the effect of an IDM program in mild to moderate COPD, we found the greatest improvements on quality of life in patients with an MRC dyspnea score >2 [ 25].
Among patients in primary care with mainly moderate COPD, we found that health mentoring by community nurses improved self-management capacity and knowledge when compared to the control group, although QOL, general or respiratory-related, did not differ significantly.
In a randomised, non-blind comparison of intensive and minimal follow up of community dwelling patients suffering from mild-to-moderate dementia, we found evidence of a small 'Hawthorne Effect'.
In this 13-year longitudinal study of 247 patients with mild-to-moderate AD, we found that increased cerebral inflammation was the only AD-related pathology that was an independent risk factor for death caused specifically by dementia (Table 3).
However, despite the moderate sample size, we found a number of statistically significant group differences.
Although the median survival benefit achieved by temozolomide is moderate [ 1], we found no convincing arguments for excluding the chemotherapy from the protocol in this early phase study.
However, with moderate tension, we find that a G5 (or larger) generation dendrimer, through thermal fluctuation, can induce the formation of metastable pores.
