The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of presentations at the 2005 to 2010 open and closed ASES annual scientific meetings that were ultimately published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Not surprisingly, the proportion of presentations with P. falciparum were very strongly correlated with the number of presentations with P. falciparum (R>0.90) and yielded very similar results in the statistical analyses.
To illustrate this point, the
For example, in one acute Trust, patients received mental healthcare from a variety of mental health providers, so mental health data were unavailable for a small proportion of presentations.
Additionally, the proportion of presentations in Aboriginal children was lower in those with an ICD-coded ALRI (8.5%) compared to a symptom-coded ALRI (10.2%; χ = 21.6; p < 0.001).
The low proportion of classical presentation is one of the reasons why pre-operative diagnosis is difficult in these patients.
Additionally, we found that these associations change with age, with sex differences in proportion of initial presentation of MI and coronary death reducing with age, and with heart failure and stroke (ischemic and NOS) emerging as the most common initial presentations in both sexes.
To explore possible reasons for the significant increase in the rate of prelabour caesarean delivery for private patients in private hospitals, we examined the trend in the proportion of breech presentation, placenta praevia or multiple pregnancies during the study period for the four patient groups.
The present study, additionally, describes time trends (year-on-year) more clearly and considers colon and rectal cancer separately for the first time, indicating that the proportion of emergency presentation is two-fold greater for patients with colon compared with rectal cancer.
