Baseline measurements as well as repetitive measures before and after the intervention are made at all workplaces.
Statistical analyses of replicate blood samples or repetitive measures of the same five individuals were applied to a separate ANOVA for each individual.
BMI, WC and WHR measurements were available only at the time of entry into the study and, consequently, we cannot comment on whether repetitive measures would have been more informative in predicting the development of dementia during follow-up.
We have not measured intra-individual symptoms changes during medical education and training using a repetitive measure and a longitudinal design.
Another solution would be to include all time points in one analysis, similar to an analysis of repetitive measures in an individual trial (see below).
Statistical correlations were performed using the Student's t-test and the Pearson correlation test with variance analysis for repetitive measures.
As with the repetitive measures in an individual trial, all available time points reported in included trials could be analysed in a single meta-analysis while fully accounting for the correlation of repetitive measurements within a trial.
For the investigation of the predictive value of early changes of biomarkers for final treatment outcome, repetitive measures in weekly intervals are necessary to demonstrate the detailed time course of biomarkers as well as depression severity.
Refrigerating of urine samples up to 49 days after a single freezing period at −20°C had no relevant effect on NMR analysis), that is, the absolute concentrations of the measured metabolites remained well within the ±15% range for means from repetitive measures suggested in the "Guidance for Industry" [ 12] for all six measured metabolites in all three types of samples.
To our knowledge, only 2 studies have used the KOOS to evaluate functional recovery after UKR (Lygre et al. 2010, Felts et al. 2010), and our study is the first to evaluate functional results after UKR using repetitive measures of the KOOS.
Prospective studies with repetitive measurements, including objective measures of physical activity, are lacking and clearly needed.
