Given limited recent data on the Lebanese population and the fact that our sample of Lebanese households is representative of affected host communities and not the entire Lebanese population, extrapolation of the burden of Lebanese care visits would not provide reliable figures.
Due to the absence of other ethnic groups in our population, extrapolation of our results to outpatient populations should be done with caution.
According to them, "… because of the heterogeneity and extensive admixture of the present-day Brazilian population, extrapolation of data derived from well-defined ethnic groups is clearly not applicable to the majority of Brazilians" (p. 722).
This document outlined various adjustment factors that would be applied to account for prospects such as sensitive subgroups within a tested population, extrapolation from short-term study data to assess chronic effects, extrapolation from animal data to human application, and variations within a human population, such as age or sex.
In this work they affirm: Because interethnic admixture is either common or increasing at a fast pace in many, if not most populations, extrapolation on a global scale of pharmacogenomic data from well-defined ethnic groups is plagued with uncertainty.
(Suarez-Kurtz and Pena, 2006a ) Because interethnic admixture is either common or increasing at a fast pace in many, if not most populations, extrapolation on a global scale of pharmacogenomic data from well-defined ethnic groups is plagued with uncertainty.
First, our estimates for the benefits of the HMI are based on 10-year risk from the Framingham population and extrapolations of life-tables from this dataset.
It should be noticed however, that due to approximation in the PAR-based population size extrapolations only the magnitude of this change is certain.
However, due to the fact that the Correlation Type being fulfilled is B and not A (which means that the result is valid for at least 75%% of the driver population), any extrapolation of the results to the general population should be done with some reservation.
This group may represent part of the general population, but extrapolation should be limited.
Finally, we described the incidence of selected outcomes in a vaccine exposed population; consequently, extrapolation to other populations should take into account any differences in childhood vaccination programmes and vaccine coverage.
