The cognitive debriefing protocol will be developed based on standard methodology building on methods used for cognitive debriefing of conjoint analysis instruments.
Initial analysis was based on standard methodology comparing Kaplan Meier survival estimates using the log-rank test and estimating univariate hazard ratios for levels of each factor.
Based on standard methodology of costing of health care services in developing countries, standard questionnaires and analyses were employed in 207 health care facilities representing different trustees (e.g. Government, Faith Based/Nongovernmental, private-for-profit organisations), levels of care and regions (urban, rural).
This is a large difference in projected morbidity, and it is based on a relatively minor tweak to standard methodology, itself inspired by viewing data under the conditions enabled by the demographic time framework and adjusting standard demographic methods to capture the direction of temporal variation in data.
Further research is needed to determine the cost of dialysis based on a standard methodology grounded on existing economic guidelines and to address the question whether dialysis should be an element of the essential package of health in resource-poor countries.
Yet, depending on the standard methodology, technique, origin, and quality of the samples used, the results may differ significantly, and therefore, measurements can be underestimated or overestimated [ 13].
These criteria were chosen based on a standard methodology used in previous prioritization exercises developed by the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) and used for multiple exercises in research priority setting for varied subjects [ 37].
The cost utility evaluation was based on the standard methodology where costs and QALYs accrued over the follow-up period for each dyad were first quantified as individual parameters and then transformed into net benefit in order to estimate the cost-effectiveness of the psychosocial approach over the usual practice.
Peroneal and sural nerve conduction studies were performed on the left leg using standard methodologies (1).
PCR amplicons were Sanger sequenced using BigDye3.1 chemistry (Applied Biosystems) and capillary electrophoresed on an ABI3130xl bioanalyser (Applied Biosystems) using standard methodologies.
