It would be necessary to obtain more sequence data in and around the TRPV6 locus from more African populations, to determine if TRPV6 has experienced non-neutral evolution in African populations, while considering the possible confounding affects of a soft sweep.
However, to eliminate potential confounding affects due to coevolution within lines, males and females from the same replicate line did not mate.
Weekly treatment of KU-32 for 6 weeks at both doses did not alter body weight and showed no confounding affects on electrophysiological and psychophysical measures that are diagnostic for the onset of DPN (results not shown).
Thus, we cannot firmly exclude the possibility that residual confounding affected the reported regression coefficients.
Second, the estimated relative risk was adjusted for multiple demographic, nutritional, reproductive, lifestyle (health-related), and socioeconomic factors, thus minimizing the likelihood of uncontrolled confounding affecting the results.
The follow-up interviews were conducted to identify any changes that may have occurred either internally or externally to the organisation and to assess any confounding affect they may have on individual and team research capacity and culture.
Previous studies have not accounted for the healthy worker survivor bias using methods that address time-varying confounding affected by previous exposure.
Authors often acknowledged that for specific confounders, there was no adjustment (34 studies; 28.3%) or deem it possible or likely that confounding affected their main findings (29 studies; 24.2%).
Thirdly, some other confounding affecting factors of LEAD were not excluded.
Unmeasured confounding affected revascularisation but had no discernible effect on myocardial infarction.
