Following the completion of our study and the submission of this manuscript two important studies have been published which directly relate to our findings [ 31, 32].
Consent was regarded as necessary by approximately 40% of the journals under study, and the submission of consent forms was required by 30%.
In the present study we have analysed the submissions of UKNEQAS(H) CPD participants assessing a range of representative cases, to examine the processes of decision making by individuals with varying levels of skill or experience.
After a shortlist of experienced offshore designers was compiled, funded project definition studies led to the submission of fixed-price tenders for a local build, which maximised the involvement of Australian industry.
In case no head-to-head studies are available, the submission of indirect comparisons is permitted to assess the additional benefit of the new drug.
Physicians were given the opportunity to submit their unique study ID number with the submission of their survey, and by doing so their names were entered into a one-time draw for three $200.00 (Canadian) gift certificates to a local bookstore.
A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis [ 7] was performed with SPSS software® to establish probability of approval curves based on cumulative hazard function in order to study the time between the submission of the protocol and final approval (in days).
A recent German observational study on VKA-OAC (n = 1,176), published after the submission of our study, suggested that rapid reversal of INR is associated with less ICH expansion and lower in-hospital mortality, but was not powered to compare reversal therapies due to a uniform national practice of using PCC.
For students pursuing the joint course of study, this coursework culminates in the submission of a brief translation thesis together with the thesis in their primary concentration.
We have calculated that the CMP database has an average coverage of 45% of general adult critical care units during the period studied, and the submissions studied are therefore representative of approximately 16,000 patients admitted to critical care following oesophagectomy.
