Specific secondary objectives related to implementation and dissemination include: to identify gaps in representativeness of study samples, threats of bias and generalisability of study findings; to describe currently utilised adaptation processes and training/supervision processes; and to estimate financial costs and human resource requirements of interventions.
We excluded two NPT subconstructs from coding: differentiation and reconfiguration, because the first is a precondition for an experimental intervention and the second is a normal requirement of an intervention study.
But the principal requirement of an intervention on humanitarian grounds is the prospect, on balance, that it will offer greater protection to vulnerable civilian populations.
Fifteen papers [ 25, 32, 35, 36, 38- 48] reported that communication technologies increased the frequency of contact between patient and healthcare professional; although much of this contact was a requirement of the intervention (see Table 3).
This study aimed to examine the association of impaired fasting glucose, diabetes and their treatments with the presentation, mortality and requirement for intervention of PAD patients.
AVF access failure is a composite of the following three clinical outcomes: Thrombosis: This is defined as the absence of a thrill or bruit by clinical assessment and/or the requirement of rescue interventions including medical thrombolysis or surgical thrombectomy to restore patency for thrombosis or occlusion for the study AVF between AVF surgery and the month 12 visit.
However, the definition of bleeding that we used relies on transfusion volumes, bleeding at specific sites and/or requirement for intervention, all of which could be objectively measured from electronic laboratory data and medical records.
21 Also, prior to even beginning the intervention, almost 40% of participants indicated that there would be some level of conflict between fulfilling the requirements of the intervention and other demands in their lives – albeit that most perceived the conflict to be slight.
Twenty-two potential subjects attended a one-hour orientation describing the intensive nature and time requirements of the intervention.
35 36 A possible explanation for the depression findings, which is consistent with our qualitative data (to be reported elsewhere), relates to the population of interest and the requirements of the intervention.
