Thus, someone with a moderate, not severe, disease predominantly affecting life expectancy is prioritized (MRS >1).
Finally, patients prioritized those with moderate rather than severe diseases predominantly affecting quality of life ('ill2' 1 year MRS = 4.18; 5 year MRS = 0.84).
They also prioritized those with no rather than moderate diseases predominantly affecting life expectancy whereas patients would not; and prioritised those with severe rather than moderate diseases affecting quality of life more than patients.
Articles providing new knowledge and innovative techniques will be prioritized as well as analysis of diseases that overwhelmingly or predominantly affect the poor, e.g., neglected diseases.
The clinical evaluation of convalescent plasma (CP) for the treatment of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the current outbreak, predominantly affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, was prioritized by the World Health Organization in September 2014.
Blame the distributors like Paramount who prioritized a Christopher Nolan movie over much finer films whose casts were predominantly black.
Paradoxically, for diseases predominantly affecting quality of life, rather than life expectancy, patients prioritized those with moderate not no disease ('ill1' has a 1 year waiting time MRS of −2.73), perhaps because many patients have moderate co-morbid diseases.
In terms of diseases predominantly affecting quality of life (rather than life expectancy) patients prioritized recipients with moderate rather than no disease, and those with moderate rather than severe disease.
In a world where 94% of CEOs and 89% of CFOs are men, it's obvious why boards that prioritize such expertise are predominantly men.
However, there was no evidence that healthcare professionals would prioritize recipients with co-morbid diseases predominantly affecting quality of life differently from patients (Wald tests for ill1 and ill2 are insignificant).
