Other study designs are presently available in which patients have repeated standardized visits during their follow-up.
Following the film, mood assessments were repeated and standardized filler tasks completed for 30-min.
This finding points to the necessity of reducing the outcome measurement error by repeated and standardized assessments of BP.
Nevertheless, the large sample size, the long duration of follow-up, the repeated and standardized methods for data collection in both cohorts, and the robustness of the findings in sensitivity analyses are major strengths of this study.
Genomic intervals of microsatellites in each vertebrate genome were recorded with block number, standardized repeat motif (Kofler et al. 2007), array length, and number of imperfections.
Genotyping techniques based on the presence of repetitive elements, conserved sequences, or loci with variable numbers of tandem repeats have been standardized (Kanduma et al., 2003), allowing the comparison of isolates between laboratories and regions worldwide.
The choice of initial endoscope on repeat colonoscopy was not standardized.
Briefly, from February 2006 to May 2008, 1,147 (65%) of 1,753 ProtecT study participants aged 50 69 years, with a raised PSA result (3.0 -19.9 ng/ml) were invited for digital rectal examination (DRE), repeat PSA test and standardized 10-core TRUS-Bx under antibiotic cover [ 11].
The most powerful observation methods for understanding the interrelationships among sympatric species require standardized and repeated observations of populations over time, seasons, habitats and geographic space.
The routines for data collection were standardized and repeated similarly in 1990 and 2001 by trained interviewers.
