For such a threat, there exists a specific attack vector, as shown in Table 2. Threat AS02 has a serious severity (1,000,000 €), and a high likelihood (f=12), which results into an ALE=12,000,000 €/year.
Commercial drug decision-support systems generate many alerts for psychotropic drugs, 97% of which are of moderate or serious severity (not severe), and the majority of these alerts will be ignored by primary care physicians.
As cancer is perceived to be a serious disease, severity was not explicitly addressed.
If the goal is to avoid a health problem, the individual must feel personally vulnerable to the problem (perceived susceptibility), judge that the problem potentially is serious (perceived severity), believe that particular action can be beneficial in decreasing the health threat (perceived benefit), and will not face obstacle in performing that particular action (perceived barriers) [ 25].
To avoid selection bias, only occupants with a Maximum Abbreviated Injury Scale (MAIS) 3 (serious) or greater severity injury were included in this study.
In alignment with the Wyoming strategic highway safety goal of reducing critical crashes (fatal and serious injury), crash severity was treated as a binary response in which crashes were classified as severe or not severe.
There were no significant differences in injury patterns and sources except that drivers in wide impacts were almost 4 times more likely (odds ratio (OR) = 3.81, 95% confidence limits (CL) 1.26, 11.5) to have an abbreviated injury scale (AIS) 3 serious or greater severity head injury.
This definition sub-classifies falls according to severity (serious, moderate) by using both symptomatic features (fractures, bruising, sprains, cuts, abrasions, reduction in physical function) and healthcare use (hospital, any wounds needed stitches, medical help).
The primary outcome of this high quality study on the incidence of infantile cerebral palsy among children whose mothers had been treated with MgSO4 was the combined occurrence of infantile cerebral palsy (of serious or medium severity) or death.
Amongst the depression group, about 45% of those with MDD were equally divided between serious and moderate severity while 57% of the Bipolar I/II/Sub thresholds were classified as serious, while the majority of those with Dysthymia were classified as moderate (72%).
The panel was initially asked to establish whether the registered adverse events satisfied the criteria of occurring during tocolysis and requiring discontinuation of tocolytic treatment in the opinion of the attending obstetrician, and then to classify the adverse events in terms of severity (serious or mild).
