The results of this exercise showed a significant reduction on rho-statistic values, backing the hypothesis that the strategy of risk-adjustment was missing some relevant patient characteristics.
The main reasons for receiving a "moderate-low" evaluation were as follows: missing data; missing information on relevant results; unsuitable analysis strategy or lack of adjustment for confounding variables in the analysis; and lack of information on variability in the presentation of results.
However, neither time until dose adjustment nor strategy of dosing modification was related to recovery of baseline renal function at the EOT (data not shown).
Also, the AUA data showed little variation most likely as a results of dose adaptation In conclusion, the strategy of intrapatient dose adjustment for cisplatin is practically feasible in a research setting even when a short turnaround time of 1 week is the limit for reporting of results.
Among the four categories of adjustment strategies the strategy resilience was the most frequent (15 statements), followed by assimilation (10 statements), avoidance (7 statements), and excellence (Table 3).
For example, Stanton and colleagues [ 27] investigated hope and coping strategies as predictors of adjustment among 85 women one year after a diagnosis of breast cancer and reported that high-hope women adopting problem-focused coping strategies adjusted better.
The installation parameters between different sensors are optimized, more than 98% of GEO satellites can be observed every day and almost all the GEO satellites can be observed every two days with 3 sensors (FOV: 6° × 6°) on the satellite under the strategy of daily pointing adjustment in a whole year.
The latter interpretation assumes rather longer timescales: each instance of strategy adjustment represents a new generation of agents coming into the population, with the old generation dying simultaneously.
We do not make strong assumptions about exactly how this training information is used, and even a very simple strategy of occasional bound adjustments in the light of positive or negative feedback is, in fact, gradient-based (albeit not very efficient) (e.g., Myung and Busemeyer, 1989).
