Discriminant analysis (DA) was performed on data of two combined hormonal contraceptives (CHC) differing in estrogen ratio to explore whether a combination of variables rather than a single variable distinguishes CHCs better.
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.
CDOM spectral slopes and CDOM absorption ratios were used to explore CDOM degradation, humification, aromaticity, and origin.
These two ratios were designed to explore the acid efficiency for leaching Th and REE) in the presence of high phosphate media (P2O5 ≈ 25%).
Although I've focused attention on expense ratios, other areas to explore are fund costs related to taxes and trading.
Multilevel likelihood ratios were used to explore the whole spectrum of transient elastography measurements in relation to the degree of fibrosis.
