Perhaps we can take a few minutes this lovely Friday afternoon to clear things up.The critics are claiming that the authors of the study (henceforth to be known, for the purposes of this blog post, as "Burnham, et al") made an error.No, don't tap your foot so impatiently this is important.
Since these children will have data available from birth to school age, they will be the focus of the majority of analyses for this study (henceforth referred to as the 'study cohort').
For the first three studies (henceforth called the Exeter studies), cases were identified from the local cancer registry, supplemented by computerised searches at each participating surgery.
Similar methods were used in the two national electronic database studies (henceforth called the electronic studies), other than the cases being identified by searches on the GP records, and seven controls being available (this being the standard number offered by the databases).
The introduction of new disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapies for the treatment of RA has been associated with a significant number of post-RCT extension studies, 11 17 henceforth termed 'trial extension studies' (TES), to report the longer-term outcomes of an experimental agent.
The indicator presented in this study will henceforth be referred to as statistical meaningfulness and has a dual quality point grading scale: statistically meaningful, and not statistically meaningful.
The AONs from the two sources [10] and [6] showed median lengths of 19 and 26 nucleotides respectively, and for the purpose of this study, are henceforth denoted as Set A and Set B respectively.
This study is henceforth referred to as RNA-Seq.
In all sections, the use of out-of-class study groups (henceforth, "study groups") was encouraged, but no information on how to use study groups effectively was provided to the students.
The unigene (UG) set developed in this study is henceforth referred to as UG-TDS (unigenes responsive to terminal drought stress).
Incidence data as counts and person-years at risk (PYAR) were coded by sex and race (white/black/'other') for 200 individual counties covered by SEER in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington, along with the state of Hawaii (which, for purposes of this study, will henceforth be considered a single county).
