The pairwise odds ratios express the odds of outcome in relatives (defined by the cluster type) of individuals who experienced the outcome compared with the odds in relatives of individuals without the outcome (reference).
This review of published evaluations aimed to assess whether family interventions are effective in improving outcomes for relatives of people with psychosis, to identify the key components of effective intervention packages, and to identify methodological limitations to be addressed in future research.
Patient preferences measure a patient's value for a specific outcome in relative (e.g., importance of weight loss vs. glycemic control) or absolute (e.g., importance of weight loss) terms (2).
Bivariate and multivariate analyses will explore differences in place of death and place of end-of-life care, in preferences for place of death, patients' palliative outcomes and relatives' bereavement outcomes, in relation to place of death.
Genetic susceptibility to preeclampsia has minor effects, if any, on pregnancy outcome in first-degree relatives of index patients, if they do not develop the disease.
The majority of the included studies reported mortality outcomes in the form of relative hazard ratios for different quantiles or categories of 25OHD.
In addition, DCE data can be used to identify the relative value of health outcomes in terms of other equivalents.
It should be realized that retrospective evaluation of data carries limitations, especially when it is used to answer questions about outcome in terms of relative performance after treatment.
This may include differences in the preferences, in palliative outcomes for patients, in bereavement outcomes for relatives, and in the costs of caring for people dying at home as compared to institutional settings, not just for the health care system but for families.
Previous research has shown that low IGF-1R expression in the tumor is predictive for pathological complete response (pCR) in ER-positive tumors [ 10] and that upregulation of IGF-1R during chemotherapy predicts a poor outcome in a relative small, heterogeneous group of BC patients [ 18].
