In addition, we examined a composite variable, any risk-associated factor, which included history of any of the aforementioned variables, substance abuse, HIV infection, sexually transmitted infection, alcohol abuse, cirrhosis, end stage renal disease, history of psychiatric illness, or ALT > 40 U/L.
The search for a reliable predictor of successful defibrillation obtained from the analysis of VF began almost 30 years ago after the observation that the success rate of defibrillation was associated with the time elapsed following VF onset and the performance of CPR; both of the aforementioned variables can alter the electrical features of the VF waveforms [ 27– 29].
Therefore, several methods have been proposed to try to predict the influence of the aforementioned variables on the amount of electricity produced.
DOA method is efficient in reducing the number of simulations derived from the combination of the aforementioned variables, and in identifying the optimal PSS configuration.
Logfiles can be stratified by any of the aforementioned variables (e.g., clinician type, years of oncology experience) and by the time at which the webhits occur (e.g., time of day, month, year).
The results indicate that ascorbic acid degradation was significantly influenced by both of the aforementioned variables.
LINGO software was used to find out the optimum values of the aforementioned variables for enhancing the process.
Addition of the aforementioned variables to the TIMI multivariate model yielded lower BIC and AIC values (Table S2), consistent with improvements to the model and further attesting to the incremental value of these predictors.
Table 2 presents the values of the aforementioned variables stratified by sex.
The model examining the self-care outcome was also adjusted for interaction terms of the aforementioned variables with time.
