Previous studies have demonstrated that it is not necessary to perform repeat determination of either the ISWT or the ESWT in this patient group [ 27].
Prospective studies should determine more than one OC in a scenario with multiple exposures in order to prevent spurious correlations and include repeated determinations of immune responses to determine changes in immune development during childhood.
Mr. Clarke alleges in his book that Mr. Bush and others in his small inner circle tried to intimidate him and other officials into finding a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda despite the intelligence community's repeated determinations that no significant connections existed.
However, in our study, repeated determinations did not improve prediction.
The relative standard derivation was 2.74% for 3.38 × 10−6 M PRO in 11 repeated determinations.
The relative standard deviation was 1.9% for 11 repeated determinations of 1.0×10−6 g mL−1 DCD.
The average relative standard deviation was 0.7% for five repeated determinations.
The relative standard deviation was 5.1% for six repeated determinations at a concentration of 500 μg L−1.
Repeated determinations of any biomarker in a short period of time may reduce their intrinsic variability and increase their diagnostic or prognostic power.
