Data included authors, date of publication, objective, methods, participants, interventions, measurement instrument, and outcomes.
Data to be extracted from the large quantity of published research literature reviews will include some standard information (such as author, year of publication, study objectives) and additional information to examine tobacco control strategies and target populations.
Data were extracted on the following items: year of publication; study objectives; study design; study population; control group; test method; reference method; and authors' conclusion.
A data collection tool created for this study that included, if available, authors, date of publication, article objectives, methods, design, setting, participants, intervention, results, conclusion, and palliative care domain(s), was used to import information from retrieved references.
Data were abstracted on the following items: publication year; objective; diagnostic test; target disorder; search terms (or whether an algorithm was given); databases searched; inclusion criteria (and whether they were made explicit); process of data extraction; method used to assess quality including QUADAS [ 12]; presence of heterogeneity; and responses to the PRISMA statement [ 14].
Data related to author, year of publication, study design, objectives, sample and participants, components of pedometer intervention, mean steps per day, and outcomes were extracted and tabulated.
Hence, it was hypothesized that publication of the objectives in the core document (intended curriculum), including the examination blueprint, would lead to increased utilization of these components by the students in their examination preparation, and consequently increased success in the examination.
This presentation introduces a didactic tool ArAc- Multibook of Architectural Acoustics (an interactive publication) whose main objective is to innovatively fill the gap in technical literature and to increase architects' awareness about the role acoustic comfort plays in the life of human beings.
This temperature measure is used here for the first time after its initial publication as an objective measure of a version of the RHI.
17 Recent publication with the objective of estimating age-, sex-, and region-specific prevalence of chronic HBV infection in the world and calculate the absolute number of persons chronically infected, using an empirical Baysian hierarchical model, showed that from 1990 to 2005 the prevalence of chronic HBV infection decreased in most regions.
