Issues to be aware of include a high participant burden, reactivity, compliance to the study protocol and the potential of chance findings due to multiple statistical testing.
In the conduct of the study and the analysis and interpretation of its outcomes, some methodological issues including a high participant burden, reactivity, compliance to the study protocol and the potential of chance findings due to multiple statistical testing will be accounted for and limited as much as possible.
Therefore, the relationship between urinary perchlorate and thyroid function was examined with attention to the potential influences of chance, bias, or confounding.
In our experience 72% of screening-detected cancers were stage I, confirming the potential increased of chance of cure, compared to the rate of 16% of stage I and II symptoms-detected cancers in clinical practice.
The relatively small birth cohort, compared to other study hospitals (up to 18,000 births) is reflected in the uncertainty of the incidence estimate (Table 3) and indicates a potential role of chance in the finding.
Although statistical significance testing is used to address the potential role of chance in generating particular findings, estimates of effect from multiple studies typically drive decision making and societal action.
It is also possible that cadmium may cause other neurocognitive dysfunctions that serve as competing risks to ADHD diagnosis (perhaps children with other diagnostic labels were less likely to receive an ADHD label), and the potential influence of chance should not be overlooked.
Secondary analyses will use expanded regression models to explore potential confounding effects of chance imbalances between arms in birth weight, gender, antenatal steroids, or mode of delivery.
The beautiful but icy Princess Turandot, who nurtures a hatred of all men, has imposed a deathly game of chance on potential suitors: they must answer three riddles or die.
But in a parliamentary republic, such as Ukraine and soon perhaps Kyrgyzstan, Russia has a variety of potential allies, and thus plenty of chance to engage in intrigues and exert influence.
