This study characterizes the host sex-specific effects of parasites in sexually dimorphic hosts with biased sex-ratios to explore this hypothesis.
Traditional health economic analysis would calculate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) to explore whether the additional dose is cost-effective compared with the current 2-dose schedule.
The feasibility study will take the form of a pragmatic, RCT (allocation ratio 1 1) to explore and refine issues of study design, recruitment, retention, sample size and acceptability to inform a future, multicentre, appropriately powered RCT.
Further burn injury research is planned with comparison cohorts (non-burn trauma, no injury), using incidence rate ratio analyses to explore the patient (including lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol) and injury factors associated with the observed cancer risk.
Furthermore, we used Cox proportional hazard ratio models to explore the relative risks of biliary candidiasis with regard to clinical risk factors such as sex, age at diagnosis of PSC, presence of dominant stenosis, presence of IBD, Mayo risk score, and number of ERCs; p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
In the previous analyses a coyote-to-red fox ratio was used to explore changes in the ratio of the two species on either side of grey wolf range.
This experiment will search for a lepton flavor violating decay μ+→e+γ with a sensitivity of 10−13 in branching ratio in order to explore the parameter region predicted by the supersymmetric extensions of the standard model.
Three different sizes with respect to length-to-width ratio are designed to explore the relationship between sensor size and sensitivity.
Though the effect of unemployment will be interesting to look at, but as most of the data on unemployment is missing across country or time, a proxy indicator, employment to population ratio is used to explore the effect of unemployment on migration decision.
57 The ceiling ratio was varied to explore uncertainty in willingness to pay.
