Appropriate fit of logistic regression models was confirmed using the Hosmer Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test after grouping the data by predicted probabilities of deficiency into ten approximately equal-sized groups (Stata Base Reference Manual (K Q), Release 9. 2005.
Patients with low ΔPP before realizing the ACTH test tend to have more probability of adrenal deficiency, have more probability to receive corticosteroid and have poor prognosis.
We therefore found no evidence to suggest that the probability of BRCA1/2 deficiency conferred by the HRD-Mean score varies among clinical subpopulations.
On the basis of investigations on intensive pond culture of common carp in Central Europe, the probability of oxygen deficiency (less than 1 mg/l dissolved oxygen) is nearly continuous from the beginning of July till the beginning of September, but losses caused by oxygen deficiency occur generally in August.
"But a pattern of decisions that may reasonably be considered poor, at the time or with hindsight, suggests the probability of underlying deficiencies in: a bank's management capabilities and style; governance arrangements; checks and balances; mechanisms for oversight and challenge; and in its culture, particularly its attitude to the balance between risk and growth".
Three hourly indices, entitled as expected wind power curtailment (EWPC), expected wind power deficiency (EWPD) and probability of wind power deficiency (PWPD) respectively, are proposed to evaluate the performance on wind power dispatchability provided by the BESS.
Living in more polluted areas i.e. east of Tehran significantly increases the probability of vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency.
The concept of successful ageing, introduced by Rowe and Kahn, implies that those ageing successfully would present the combination of low probability of disease and of deficiencies related to diseases, maintenance or strengthening of physical and cognitive functions and full engagement in life, including productive activities and interpersonal relationships [ 5- 7].
To verify if gross copy number variations (CNVs) are often present in point mutation-negative hereditary PS deficiency we used multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) as a detection tool in samples from individuals with a high probability of having true PS deficiency.
For the present study, PS deficient subjects of the French network were selected with a high probability of having a hereditary PS deficiency, either by having a family history of PS deficiency transmission, or by having very low PS measurements.
Eighteen probands with a high probability of having a hereditary PS deficiency were selected.
