The predominance of lower level cadres at primary level makes supervision extremely important.
Low-risk women can be deemed both a key risk and client group for monitoring care, not least due to their numerical predominance on a national level, in addition to other high risk user groups which may inevitably require a greater level of technical intervention, including caesarean section.
As argued by Brind for studies on induced abortion in China, once the prevalence of a given exposure rises to a level of predominance in the control group, statistical adjustment cannot remove all confounding effects caused by the adjustment terms.
Patients without culture or PCR positivity were reassessed 2 months after the initiation of anti-TB treatment if they had a predominance of lymphocytes, high level of serum protein, and ADA greater than 40 mg/mL.
Once the prevalence of a given exposure rises to a level of predominance, it is prudent to ask whether indeed the unexposed comparison group has instead become a subgroup, which is unexposed for some reason that bears relevance to its risk profile for the disease in question.
Depending on so-called initial conditions, including the net result of all regulatory factors and the cell type, the dynamics of cell proliferation may highlight the predominance of a ground-state/dampened level or a high/stimulated level, or both.
The levels of predominance used in this analysis were 50%, 66%, and 75%, and considered clusters with a minimum size of 1 (singletons), 2, 3, 4 or 5 compounds.
Although we did not assess risk factors of developing ACS, we observed a male predominance and relatively low levels of HbF, in line with the literature [ 6, 16, 17].
Descriptive analysis showed some universal characteristics of dentists' population elsewhere: predominance of women, high levels of professional involvement (dentistry as main occupation and high weekly workload), predominance of workers in private dental service, and a tendency toward specialization and concentration in large cities [ 4, 5, 10].
In this cross-sectional molecular analysis of M. tuberculosis strains circulating in Uganda, we clearly demonstrate the Uganda II family as the major cause of morbidity due to TB in the country although at different levels of predominance in the eight NTLP (i.e. geographic) zones.
