Estimates of expected survival rates were derived from pertinent population life tables according to Hakulinen's (1982) method.
Two investigators read the articles independently to examine if studies met the inclusion criteria, and then excluded those of poor quality, those of inadequate size, and those that included non-pertinent populations.
These cases were related to the pertinent female population of 2006 (provided by the Italian National Institute of Statistics ISTAT 20 ).
As the proportion of elderly persons is increasing in most modern societies, the quest to understand the mechanisms whereby LTL dynamics explain some of the interindividual variation in susceptibility to atherosclerosis and in survival is pertinent to population health.
For health outcomes, other than macro indicators such as mortality, individual health descriptors such as self-rated physical and psychological health and degree of frailty are particularly pertinent to older populations.
The website also contains information pertinent to special populations, namely children and solid organ transplant recipients with chronic kidney disease.
We also used this virtual platform to promote collective learning and sharing of best practices based on evidence pertinent to Asian populations.
This measure is pertinent when comparing populations of different sizes since allele frequencies are difficult to interpret as the sample size (which is here the population size) increases in the population with growth.
Hence, this study is still pertinent in underserved populations whose awareness of the HPV vaccine and accessibility to HCPs remains low, and in which identifying ways to best target patient education remains crucial.
Supported by the JADE Project team and the Steering Committee, the JADE Program also provides a virtual platform to promote collaborative research to address epidemiological and therapeutic questions pertinent to Asian populations.
Therefore, only the 23-bp and 12-bp indel regions seem pertinent in these populations because both of these bovine PRNP sequence regions have been shown to influence transcription levels of PrPC.
