A major contribution of this study is the quantification of the experience of violence among MSM and TW in Central American cities, both as an important factor in HIV prevention and access to clinical services (43– 46), and also from a human rights perspective.
This distinction is important for proper quantification of exposure experiences of study participants.
There is evidence that both instruments together give better quantification of pain experiences than did the WOMAC alone.
While patients' subjective experiences are often included in a composite clinical assessment by a physician or study investigator, the use of a HRQL measure allows actual quantification of these experiences and the effect of treatment.
Advances have been made to better quantify the levels of occupational exposure by improved exposure metrics, quantification of three-dimensional loads experienced by certain joints (e.g. the spine), identification of tissue tolerance limits and tissue response to mechanical stresses, and the impact of psychosocial stresses.
The QuIKS-R provides interval-level quantification of knee symptoms-related experiences in people with knee symptoms consistent with symptomatic knee OA.
Quantification of the human painful sensory experience is essential for diagnostic and pain monitoring purposes.
Besides, from our experience, the quantification of IL-13 at very low levels in complex matrices such as serum or plasma suffers from a lack of reproducibility that could be due to nonspecific binding and/or the presence of binding proteins.
We concur with previous workers in this area in suggesting that that quantification of patient preference for perioperative experiences is reliable.
It is difficult to make the quantification of the PSA because the operation and experience data are deficient.
Finally, the quantification of contacts and its implications to relatives' experiences of involvement would be more suitable to a quantitative study that was designed to explore that, which was not the focus of this qualitative investigation of people's experiences.
