Medicare procedure and revenue center codes were used to identify RT claims 12 199.
These observations further serve to verify the distinction between diagnoses of AU and other neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly PDD-NOS, as the same testing procedures and treatment centers were employed to diagnose PDD-NOS, most also occurring since 2003.
Qualifying Medicare claims included International Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis and procedure codes, revenue center codes, and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes (see Appendix, available at Annals of Oncology online).
Data were collected on numbers of procedures performed in 2005, hospital admission type, time from the onset of cataract day surgery, surgical procedure, and presence of other surgical centers.
To evaluate whether frequency of ongoing EEG was menstrual cycle-dependent we (1) calculated IAF and center frequency as detailed in Experimental procedures and (2) compared IAF and center frequency in women who participated in three segregated experiments (Tables 1 and 2).
Suppose the doctor recommends a procedure at Center X but the payer has contracted with the cheaper Center Y, where the long-term results may not be as good as Center X.
(C ) Nonoriented profiling of epigenetic marks associated with putative enhancers (in red) and control promoters (in blue) selected at steps P3 and E4 of procedure described in (A ) and centered on the main Pol II peak as in Figure 4A.
Patients were centrally randomised either to tamoxifen (40 mg/day) or supportive therapy using a minimization procedure with center, evidence of disease at entry and time from HCC diagnosis as stratification variables.
However, these data were collected from three centers, and the procedure and extent of surgery may have differed between them.
The randomization algorithm used a minimization procedure accounting for center and age strata.
