The admission STSS (Table 3) and initial SOFA (Table 4) scores were calculated and compared against actual mortality, need for ICU admission, and need for MV.
Parameter values are in Table 1 and initial conditions are in the text.
Parameter values are in Table 1 and initial conditions are given in the text.
Trapezoidal fuzzy membership functions are defuzzified with the weighted average method and transformed into numeric values as weight matrix (Table 2) and initial state vectors.
The groups studied were homogeneous in terms of all participant characteristics (Table 1) and initial muscle power and knee biomechanical parameters.
In the present study, the analysis of a particular case of front crawl underwater movement (Table 1) and initial kinematic data were taken from experimental kinematic research work [ 13].
Several studies have investigated the use of intravenously administered corticosteroids in the prevention of LE (Table 5), and initial studies failed to show a beneficial effect of corticosteroids on PLE [ 12, 17].
