Since there were few estimates that were adjusted for both smoking and alcohol consumption, and few adjusted estimates which did not include smoking as one of the factors adjusted for, the heterogeneity analyses were conducted based firstly on the 19 estimates that were unadjusted for any factor and second on the 15 estimates that were adjusted for smoking, regardless of any other adjustment.
The associations were not explained by the background characteristics that were adjusted for, but some domains were attenuated substantially after adjustment for behavioral and emotional difficulties.
18 We then used multivariable models to study the adjusted associations, i.e. maternal characteristics and characteristics related to care that were adjusted for each other, whereas infant characteristics were adjusted for other infant characteristics (Table 1).
The Census Bureau published some figures that were adjusted for different family sizes, and they, too, show prolonged income stagnation at the bottom and in the middle, particularly since 1999.
Using valuations that were adjusted for these recognized biases, we can increase the explanatory power of the underlying models.
The association between race/ethnicity and rates of graft failure and mortality was examined with Cox proportional hazards models that were adjusted for demographic and clinical factors as well as individual-level and census tract-level socioeconomic status (SES).
Crude measures of Hb performed as well as those that were adjusted for effects of age, gender and altitude.
These included raw data and crude ORs as well as adjusted ORs, when available, and the potential confounders that were adjusted for in each study.
We treated LTFU as a missing data problem, and used multiple imputation [10] to fill in the missing survival times in patients lost to follow-up and hence to obtain estimates of one-year mortality that were adjusted for LTFU.
Since health care reform legislation in Massachusetts expanded eligibility for the MassHealth program, difference estimates were computed for population samples that were adjusted for demographic changes in the post-benefit period.
Our mean yield was higher than another research group's (Mitsouras et al., 2009) but lower than the reported yield by the kit manufacturer for canine samples, although it should be noted that Iwasiow et al. [15] report corrected ratios that were adjusted for presence of turbid material that absorb at 320 nm, a step that we elected not to perform.
