In identifying only a small subset of at-risk students, we seek to provide systematic insight for instructors so they may better provide targeted support for those students most in need of intervention.
For example, the United Kingdom has an overall rate of perioperative mortality of 2%, but 80% of these deaths occur in a small subset of high-risk surgical procedures.
Instead of restricting our cohort to a small subset of high-risk women who are BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers, we chose our study cohort to be consistent with the population targeted in the ACS guidelines for high-risk women: women aged 30 and above with a 25% lifetime risk or greater of developing breast cancer.
Considering that statistical optimisation revealed a small subset of patients at higher risk for disease recurrence, we asked whether lowering the cutoff value thus increasing the number of positive tumours, could give also prognostic information for a greater number of patients.
ALFI can help general practitioners focus referral on a small subset of patients with higher predicted risk while continuing to address modifiable liver disease risk factors in those at lower risk.
Despite this, the profiling failed to accurately differentiate patients with BTC versus the small subset of patients with PSC – a risk factor for BTC [ 30].
Therefore, ALFI could help GPs focus referral on a small subset of patients with higher predicted risk and reasonable PPVs while taking clinical factors that were not included in the model (but which may have improved prediction) into account.
A draft report released last month by an NSABB working group finds that only a "small subset" of GOF studies pose serious risks, and that the United States has an effective framework for managing such work, but that tighter oversight may be needed.
However, today's guidelines identify only a small subset of patients, with such a low risk to justify treatment with endocrine therapy alone [ 4, 5].
In many clinical trials, the average benefit reported may be concentrated in a small subset of patients, usually those with the greatest risk of developing the study outcome.
