Furthermore, the presence of documented hypotension, tachycardia or signs of tissue hypo perfusion are insufficient to confirm the diagnosis of hypovolemia as they are non-specific [2].
The [124I]FIAU PET/CT study was negative in the normal and prosthetic knee despite the presence of documented degenerative arthritis in both of these joints (figure S2).
Main inclusion criterion was presence of documented MI.
The presence of documented cognitive impairment increased the perceived risk of institutionalisation for the high-risk group to 15%.
Exploratory analysis was conducted using age, gender, weight status and the presence of documented weight-related discussions.
The increased risk of death, CV events and hospitalization is independent of major risk factors, such as a history of CVD or the presence of documented proteinuria [ 3– 5].
The presence of documented stable and sufficiently well-scattered tantalum markers in the humeral head is a prerequisite for these computations (Nilsson et al. 1990).
Instead of dichotomizing based on mere symptom presence as performed in our study, these authors examined the presence of documented gastroparesis in a clinic sample, and correlated symptom scores with presence of gastroparesis.
This suggests that medical management can be anticipated to be successful in the majority of cases, even in the presence of documented fungal balls on imaging, unless there is concomitant total obstruction.
As already described, 88 women (Groups 1 and 3) enrolled into FDA and NIH protocols investigating the pathogenesis of CTD following silicone implants were chosen for study on the basis of the presence of documented silicone implants and an available serum sample collected for research purposes.
Another strength was the use of a novel automated information extraction method to reliably and accurately ascertain the presence of documented mood instability, thereby reducing any potential bias which may occur through a manual review of case records by multiple investigators.
