Comparative data between the different DWI and FDG-PET time points are shown in Table 3. > -wrap-foot> This pilot study investigated the value of 3-T WB DWI using the built-in body coil for early assessment of treatment response to standard chemotherapy in aggressive NHL, correlated to a follow-up based reference standard.
However, all the above studies have used the US based reference standard to classify SGA [ 28].
Summary scores were derived from participant responses compared to a 95% consensus opinion of infectious diseases specialists that matched an evidence based reference standard.
Even though this structure based reference standard relates more to RNFL morphology than function as measured by the visual field, it has not shown a high degree of correlation with OCT measurements [ 43].
For the geographically defined DHR subset (570), the mean birth weight was 3083 grams (SD 600 grams), 13% were low birth weight (LBW): birth weight <2500 grams, 7% preterm:<37 weeks gestation and 25% were small for gestational age (SGA): weight <10th percentile of weight for gestational age using a Melbourne based reference standard comparable in time with the cohort recruitment [ 22, 23].
The crux of the matter is whether strict guidelines, reference standards based on the parameter of gestational age and authority rules are necessary.
The crux of the matter is whether strict guidelines, reference standards based on the gestational age parameter, and authority rules are necessary [ 25, 26].
We sought data on drug treatment and preventive interventions for four disease topics, and evaluated the results by comparing output to clinician-vetted reference standards based on recommendations from a commercial decision support product, DynaMed.
We used SRM to investigate the expression stability of 18 proteins/genes commonly reported as internal reference standards based on gene expression profiling studies [ 50, 51] (Additional file 1: Tables S3 and S4).
The presence of cryoglobulins was assessed according to the local laboratory standard, based on reference methodologies, 15 and confirmed by at least two positive tests at ≥12 weeks' interval.
The facilities will be classified with reference to standards based on the UN and WHO definitions [ 13] as non-EmOC, Basic Emergency Obstetric Care (BEmOC) or Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric Care (CEmOC).
