The four key messages identified were: appropriate assessment and classification of whiplash, appropriate measure of outcome, able to identify those with poor prognosis, provides primarily activating treatments.
Although biomarkers are better than clinical outcomes for identifying individuals in a pre-MCI stage, several authors [ 8- 10] have shown that cognitive outcomes are able to compete with biomarker outcomes in identifying individuals in an MCI stage.
Within the limitations of the sample size, no significance difference in outcomes were able to be detected in primary and secondary outcomes.
The study outcomes were able to overcome the limitations of stringent laboratory preparation of calibration matrices by extracting uncorrelated underlying factors in the data matrices through systematic application of PCA and factor analysis (FA).
After examining the overall outcomes (contact, able to be interviewed, cooperation, and participation), we will focus in the third part of our first research question on one specific outcome, namely contact (see the aforementioned findings by, e.g., Baykara-Krumme 2010; Feskens et al. 2006), and compare, in particular, the contact rates among migrants and non-migrants by age group and gender.
First, the available evidence suggests that the occurrence of undesired outcomes is able to induce even stronger illusions than the occurrence of desired ones (e.g., Aeschleman, Rosen, & Williams, 2003; Bloom et al., 2007).
Further studies should simultaneously tackle multiple pathophysiological pathways, and long-term functional outcomes shall be assessed by means of outcome measures able to recognise subtle cognitive changes.
The number of EMS outcome measures able to be collected.
Eventually the patient regained a relatively good functional outcome, being able to walk unassisted (GOS 4).
This too would be facilitated by the use of a common outcome measure able to pool the impact of both nutrition and stimulation activities.
