The complete chart extends the numerical results of the literature, while it also draws attention to the numerical difficulties of finite degree of freedom approximations and to the extreme sensitivity of the dynamics with respect to the time delay parameters of the system.
The complete chart was examined by an expert panel who decided if the patient had critically-ill conditions that might have required admission to the ICU.
The completed chart should include the following parties: the outsourcing company itself (Growing Stars); competing companies not currently outsourcing (Tutor.com, SmarThinking); American workers (American-based tutors); American consumers (families like the Marinaros); international employees (Greeshma Salin and other Indian tutors); and related international infrastructure (local Indian schools).
The completed chart identified distinct industrial/commercial differences among segments.
This was done retrospectively based on review of the complete patient charts, results of microbiological cultures, chest radiographs and, when available, postmortem examination findings.
The final determination of the patient's status was done retrospectively, without knowledge of plasma cytokine and PCT levels, on the basis of the complete patient charts, results of microbiological cultures, chest radiographs and ultrasound, when available.
Importantly, two investigators retrospectively reviewed all medical records pertaining to each patient and independently classified the diagnosis as SIRS, sepsis, severe sepsis, or septic shock at the time of admission on the basis of the review of the complete patient charts, results of microbiologic cultures, and radiographs.
As the choice of therapy is based on the clinical diagnosis as well as factors such as where the infection is contracted (community, hospital, nursing home), previous adverse reactions on antimicrobial therapy, prior antimicrobial use, and culture results, the complete medical charts were reviewed for motivations for therapy adjustments in case of guideline-disconcordant treatment [ 12].
All complete charts of HIV+ women receiving care at the two centers from January 2008 to June 2012 were reviewed.
