Fractures, initially self-reported, were confirmed using radiology reports, over seven years of follow-up.
The validity of the 7-day self-report was confirmed using the pill count method over 2 months in a group of 32 subjects, separate from the group of 429 subjects, who were diagnosed with UC, took aminosalicylates, and were enrolled using the same inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study.
The K562 data reported above were confirmed using CD34+ bone marrow cells explanted from blast-crisis CML patients.
As previously described [ 17], self-reports of RA were confirmed using the Connective Tissue Disease Screening Questionnaire [ 18] and by medical record review for American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for RA [ 19], conducted by two rheumatologists.
All 14 compounds previously reported in the literature as antiandrogenic were confirmed using our test system.
Diagnoses for out-of-area patient participants were confirmed using patients' pathology reports and medical records.
Diagnoses were confirmed using hospital records and pathology reports.
Gestational age was calculated from the date of the last menstrual period reported at recruitment and was confirmed using ultrasound examination in week 12 of gestation.
Enhancer-promoter maps have been previously constructed using the distribution of DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHS) across 79 distinct cell types, and the reported regulatory connections have been confirmed using 5C and chromatin immunoprecipitation paired-end sequencing data (Thurman et al. 2012).
Additionally, many of the reported activated cryptic sites have been confirmed using non-quantitative approaches, and these may not constitute the predominant splice forms relative to constitutive exons with stronger natural sites.
This burn depth estimate was confirmed using the relationship reported by Harden et al. [11], that for every centimeter of organic mat thickness in boreal forests, soil temperature under the organic layer remained about 0.5 °C cooler during summer months.
