Moreover, the univariate survival analysis performed by Wilkie and associates [ 8] was censored for mortality, even though it is conceivable that fluid overload potentially contributed to some or all of the 8 deaths that occurred in the study.
This is not so for SAPS II but it is conceivable that mortality prediction even by SAPS II will be less accurate after a short observation time [ 6].
It is conceivable that a sense of impending mortality might finally concentrate the minds of its more Luddite members.But competition is not likely to slacken.
It is conceivable that hyperglycaemia is associated with increased mortality, but it is also conceivable that a common factor is related to both hyperglycaemia and increased mortality.
It is conceivable that ischaemia is a determining factor in mortality rates in patients with ARF.
It is conceivable that CHEST study did not identify a mortality difference due to harmful effects exerted by 0.9% saline in the control arm.
The consequences of these deficits are not clear, but it is conceivable that patients with cognitive impairment have even higher morbidity and mortality rates.
However, because recruitment was estimated after settlement, it is conceivable that initial settlement densities were important, but our ability to detect their relationship to selective mortality was obscured.
Nonetheless, it is conceivable that although SAPS II is a reliable measure of disease severity and excellent predictor of mortality [ 14], it may not reflect the true extent of cardiovascular failure and other cofactors that impact on 28-day mortality.
Therefore, it is conceivable that patients with the −156 C/C genotype may simultaneously represent a population at higher risk for ACS mortality that experiences little, if any, benefit from discharge statin therapy.
