Each AT was evaluated and compared in relation to data quality standards, namely for completeness, comprehensibility, traceability among others.
The 'Gold Standard' 24 h urine method was used to measure salt intake with standard checks for completeness of the specimens based on urine volume and urine creatinine excretion.
As a member of the International Association of Cancer Registries, the Qidong Cancer Registry implemented the association's standards for quality, completeness, timeliness, and unresolved duplicate records.
The registry is certified by NAACCR as meeting all standards for quality, completeness, timeliness, and unresolved duplicate records (1 per 1000 tumors) and is estimated to be greater than 95% complete based on external audit findings.
Though the main interest of this study is the robustness of the estimated treatment effect and its standard errors, for completeness we will also present the other fixed parameters (i.e., the within-cluster effect, the contextual effect if estimated and the constant), the estimated variance components, and their standard errors.
The program's standard for registry completeness for the incidence of cancer cases is 98% [ 9].
Although DCR was considered to be the gold standard for assessing completeness of patient registration in ASR, we found 369 cases in the ASR which were not registered in the DCR.
An investigation of this magnitude was the only way to unearth the truth because the three Gulf airlines do not publish financial statements that meet Western standards for transparency and completeness.
For completeness, standard deviations of data are presented for both experiment 1 (Additional file 11, Table S6) and experiment 2 (Additional file 12, Table S7).
Modeled after the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, the CCR maintains high standards for data quality and completeness and is estimated to be 99% complete [ 31].
