In contrast, underlying diseases and severity at the time of initiation of AT were associated with a higher mortality rate (Table 4).
An apparent discrepancy exists in the results between the clinician's diagnosis of moderate to severe psoriasis and how participants perceived their level of symptom severity at the time of eligibility screening for the study.
Non-white candidates are generally younger with greater disease-specific illness severity at the time of lung transplant listing.
Indeed, five senior clerics have protested, with varying degrees of severity, at the manner in which the elections were conducted and the violence that followed.
Importantly, the stroke patients' postoperative improvement was independent of their age or their condition's severity at the onset of the trial.
A wildfire at Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest provided the opportunity to observe fire severity at the point of transition between treated and untreated stands.
Effective management of forest systems in response to altered fire regimes will require an understanding of the legacy effects of fire size and severity at the landscape scale.
The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between landscape structure as described by spatial pattern metrics and burn severity at the landscape and class levels.
Fire severity at the plots was further determined by verifying, in situ, pine canopy consumption (FCC) as well as by measuring the minimum diameter of remaining shrub twigs (TDI).
In this context, "safety efficiency" of an infrastructure measure is seen as its contribution to reducing accident frequency and/or severity at the sites treated, following the treatment.
The distribution of defoliation severity at the plot level (highly defoliated trees with defoliation > 60%) is shown in Fig. 1b and suggests the presence of a 'hot spot' in the north-western regions.
