In the course of the NCC debate, I referred to Twitter as something akin to the "collective unconsciousness of the species".
In this study, the P waves of NCC-ATs in leads I and aVL were positive or isoelectric in almost all patients, which was consistent with other reports.
The similarity between any two SPNs n i and n j is initially measured by the normalized cross correlation (NCC) {rho}_{ij}=frac{(n_{i}-bar{n}_{i} cdot(n_{j}-bar{n}_{j})}{| n_{i}-bar{n}_{i}| cdot | n_{j}-bar{n}_{j}|}, quad i,j in [1,N], (2).
Therefore, only the NCC MERP categories E through I are included: temporary harm to the patient and required intervention (category E), temporary harm to the patient and required initial or prolonged hospitalisation (category F), permanent patient harm (category G), intervention required to sustain life (category H) and patient death (category I).
A total of 10 060 error reports were then manually reviewed, representing all 191 of the reports categorised as National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCC MERP) outcome categories E–I (ie, categories where patient harm occurred, which we designated as highest priority to review in detail) plus a random sample of the remaining A E category reports.
The definition of NCC can be expressed as NCC = ∑ i ∑ j f i, j g i, j ∑ i ∑ j f 2 i, j ∑ i ∑ j g 2 i, j (20).
The NCC MERP Index categories E-I were included, in other words, those relating to harm.
In NCC, there is no overlap among VBSs (i.e., RRH can only belong to a single VBS).
