The absence of the woman, where she is seen as passive and the caregiver as in control can be related to the with-institution ideology but is also described in Bergstrom's study [ 25] of vaginal examinations during the second stage of labor, where multiple examinations were performed to teach the woman how to push correctly.
These examinations were heterogeneous in form using various methods from multiple-choice examinations to orals.
Multiple examinations were repeated in order to detect the possible source of the recurrent infections, such as whole body CT scan, transesophageal echocardiography, bacterial stool cultures, colonoscopy with multiple biopsies, bone scintigraphy and cerebral angiographic MRI.
The model also included random effects representing sibship and individual (to account for multiple examinations within an individual).
All the participants were relatively healthy community-dwelling men able and willing to visit the outpatient clinic as well as to take part in the multiple examinations.
Therefore to definitively diagnose AVP, multiple examinations should be performed.
In this work, we recognized that some reports contained multiple examinations, hence, we extended the preprocessing rules in order to detect and ignore subsections that refer to transesophageal echocardiographams (TEE) as Example 7 in Fig. 1.
Comparison of data from multiple examinations or sources is always problematic, primarily due to student cohort effects [ 21, 30, 35, 39].
To model the relationship between multiple examinations within an individual, an autoregressive correlation structure was used as previously described (Ma et al. 2010).
Critically ill adult patients often require multiple examinations in the hospital and need transport from one department to another, or even between hospitals.
