Objective To explore the relation between study concordance, take home message, funding, and dissemination of comparative studies assessing the effects of influenza vaccines.
13 14 We explored the relation between study concordance, take home message, funding, and citation (as a proxy for dissemination) in studies on influenza vaccines by reviewing all published comparative studies.
The definitions were based on work carried out on study concordance and take home message.
We take the complete concordance between such disparate methods and the morphological data as strong support for the biological significance of these proposed species relationships.
12 The relation between the items of quality, concordance, take home message, and funding of single studies, however, is thought to be specific to the context, drugs evaluated, and outcomes assessed.
A questionnaire is not the same as clinical practice, where decisions on treatment take place in concordance with the wishes of the patient, and in itself, the questionnaire may induce a more active approach than real life.
Not to get all Beatles on you here, but the concordance you make is the concordance you take.
There was no evidence of association between sample size of comparator and study design, methodological quality, concordance, and take home message.
To classify concordance and take home message definitions we asked whether data presented in the study supported the authors' conclusions and then whether the conclusions did or did not support the vaccine(s) being evaluated.
