Only one study used objective physical activity measures; however, the multiple other shortcomings of this study limit the transferability of its findings.
By providing a rich description of the context, this case study allows the transferability of the findings to be determined [ 21].
A few studies of the bedside transferability of acquired skills have suggested that a TEE simulator could improve the training process [19, 20, 25 27], but were unclear about the real ability of physicians to obtain and correctly interpret images over a large range of pathological cases in real patients.
The present study addresses the transferability of disease associations across human populations by examining levels of population differentiation at disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
This was a qualitative study and the transferability of results must be viewed in relation to context and the sociocultural setting.
Similarly, in another study examining the transferability of type 2 diabetes loci from European studies in 10,718 individuals of Chinese, Malay and East Asian Indian ethnicities, there was evidence of a population-specific effect, allelic heterogeneity and LD variations at CDKAL1 and HHEX/IDE/KIF11 loci in all three cohorts [ 11].
The recent sequencing of the highly heterozygous Vitis vinifera L. cultivar Pinot Noir (clone ENTAV 115) genome gave rise to several thousand polymorphisms and offers a good model to study the transferability of its degree of polymorphism to other individuals of the same species and within the genus.
The variety in the earlier analyses and the similarity of experiences in this study contribute to the transferability of our findings.
The key potential problems in any health-related utility study (which limits the transferability of results) relate to the description of the health states and time period used as the benchmark in the time trade-off procedure.
In this study, we explore the transferability of two bioassessment indices for application to depressional wetlands in California, which are wetland type of management concern but for which bioassessment tools don't currently exist.
