They observed and recorded hygiene behavior of nurses and checked the proportion of monitors which had alarms that were correctly set.
A study on monthly fruit availability in Kirindy Forest (Bollen et al. 2005) also found no difference between birth and postbirth period in the proportion of monitored trees bearing juicy, fleshy fruits.
During the initial stage, the proportion of active monitoring increased from 28.4% in 2006 to 68.7% in 2007.
These changes in the programme have not affected recruitment because the majority of the ART initiator group had been recruited prior to the introduction of these additional criteria, but these changes may increase the proportion of the Monitoring group who initiate ART during the study.
It is necessary to measure the diameter of the wagon wheel, to the check the horizontal/vertical proportion of the monitor, and to set the monitor to maximum contrast and brightness.
Next, for each repeat locus, we calculated the proportion of polymorphic monitor loci (PPML) among its closest 20 monitors (this was done separately for mononucleotide and dinucleotide monitors of each dinucleotide repeat).
However, there was some variability between years in the proportion of nonattainment monitors and in the amount by which monitors exceeded the standard.
Although relatively few monitors belonging to either IMPROVE or CSN were within 150 m of an A1 road, there was a larger proportion of CSN monitors within 150 m of an A3 road (44%) than IMPROVE monitors (19%), consistent with the placement of CSN monitors in more urban locations compared with IMPROVE monitors (Table 1).
The conclusion regarding the cost-effectiveness of ST analysis did, however, not change when in a scenario analysis varying the number of devices per obstetric unit and the proportion of deliveries monitored with a scalp electrode.
