The high frequency of death in Lima likely reflects the fact that in a high proportion of patients, a standard MDRTB treatment regimen with second-line drugs was unsuccessful (20 ).
The Medical Students Research Programme is a national initiative to increase the recruitment, and thus the proportion, of researchers with a standard medical degree within all medical fields.
These studies imply that proactive telephone-based smoking cessation interventions may be effective and able to reach a higher proportion of people than a standard reactive approach, in which the smoker initiates a call to a smoking cessation hotline.
In the absence of a clinical measure, the Minimally Important Difference (MID) can be estimated as some proportion of the standard deviation; a reasonable MID might represent one-quarter to one-third of a standard deviation for the score in question.
Here the choice to participate is removed from the individual, but this design may address relevant confounding effects in the management of RFM e.g. a high proportion of the standard group had an ultrasound scan.
Figure 2B shows that thresholds were approximately constant for faster speeds when expressed as a proportion of the standard.
To test if the true mean value of each soil property for each landform was reliable for generalizing population characteristics, relative standard error (RSE) was calculated as a proportion of standard error to population mean from a bootstrap estimation.
The committee also proposed that the standard for weight should be the weight of distilled water held in cube with sides a decimal proportion of the standard for length.
In order to correct for individual size differences, relative eye size was standardized as a proportion of standard body length [ 39].
Use of a standard proportion of ecological variation for each set of variables enabled us to make consistent and comparable estimates of variability for the analysis of ecological divergence of species in terms of the three niche components.
This is especially true because even though G-CSF use was mandatory after S-HAM and only optional after standard DI nevertheless a substantial proportion of standard DI patients (17%) also received G-CSF thus making the component of differential G-CSF use even less relevant.
