Protocol authors did not have access to the PRO protocol checklist, which minimised the risk of them augmenting their protocols prior to our evaluation.
However, this approach could increase the risk of artificially augmenting the statistical power by increasing sample size (replicates within a strain vs. strain averages).
The strategy of augmenting risk prediction ability by using two brief and valid tools concurrently to screen for suicide risk level was also suggested by other study [ 37].
It is tempting to speculate that (i) "extreme" stimuli may be sufficient to induce sporadic HLH development in any individual and (ii) the overall risk is augmented by the accumulation of genetic variants promoting excessive or poorly regulated immune response.
24 The plot displays the predicted risk versus the observed frequency of acute kidney injury in 10ths of increasing predicted risk, augmented by a smoothed (lowess) regression line.
The chronic disease score improved prediction of infection by the NNIS risk index and augmented the ASA score for risk adjustment.
Hence, successful suppression of disease activity by means of treatment may also have a clinically relevant effect on risk of CVD by augmenting HDL2-chol and HDL3-chol levels.
There is considerable evidence to demonstrate the benefits of augmenting oxygen delivery in high-risk surgical patients during the peri-operative period [ 23].
Recent studies indicate that the gene products of these APOL1 risk variants have augmented toxicity to kidney cells.
The risk was further augmented up to sixfold with the addition of inhibitors (OR 13.03, 95%% CI 3.37 50.42, p = 0.003).
