The common areas of poor reporting quality identified by the STROBE assessment highlight fundamental methodological issues with most of the available evidence, notably a lack of controlled studies, limited appreciation of clear exposures and confounders and inadequate handling of bias.
No clear predictors of poor quality were identified in this study; substandard antimalarials were obtained from all parts of the country, in major and non-major trading centres, from all types of retail outlet, from both local and international manufacturers, and were identified among both blister packed and loose tablet samples.
As important reasons for the poor quality they identified limited knowledge and skills for newborn care of health workers at all levels.
We observed two reads with MIDs not used in this study and 430 reads that lacked any recognizable MID, which could reflect contamination that occurred sometime after sample ligation but more likely indicates reads of too poor quality to identify the MID.
Log conditioning is the final stage in preparation of log data for petrophysical evaluation, in which poor quality data are identified and are replaced by synthesized data.
Four reviews [ 22- 24, 31] cited the poor quality of the identified studies as a reason for not conducting a meta-analysis, three [ 22- 24] of which further factored the poor quality of studies in their conclusion.
Due to an observed linearithmic speedup through the use of a high-performance computing (HPC) framework for the majority of tasks, poor quality data was identified prior to secondary analysis in significantly less time on the HPC framework than the same data run using alternative parallelization strategies on a single server.
Poor quality data has been identified as a major barrier to successful utilization of big data.
However, previous studies have identified poor quality of reporting of study methodology in the orthopaedic literature [ 3, 4].
Existing research in aged care has identified poor quality of incident reporting information as a major factor that inhibits continuous improvement in residents' safety.
