85 individuals were excluded after the baseline interview due to the presence of dementia or age below 75 (these were falsely classified as 75 or older in the initial chart selection process).
SGC performed the initial chart reviews, database management and assisted with data analyses.
In the second phase of the project, we designed a provider survey to characterize PCP beliefs and practices, in order to better understand the findings from the initial chart review (see Additional file 1).
Whilst the initial chart would suggest that negligible mass was detected and that the traces were flat lined, however, when the scale was adjusted a repeated and conserved saw-tooth pattern was observed, indicative (at least in time) of some transient mass deposition, probably constituents of diluted vapour phase or water vapour entering the chamber.
In an attempt to have the exact representation of the dental, skeletal, and soft tissue data the clinician considered and analyzed before his treatment decision, the measurements were all gathered from the patients' initial charts.
Examination of initial charts also determined the organization of data by mimicking the chart's style in a Microsoft Access Database.
Therefore, the wide gap in rates of report for radiotherapy across both surveys may be a result of the algorithmic approach to breast cancer treatment in our cohort: second- and third-line treatment options that are not employed immediately after diagnosis were not captured by the initial medical chart review.
Among the more striking examples, 72-year-old Dr. John, 40+ years on from his initial chart impact as the voodoo-drenched Night Tripper of New Orleans, scored with the sizzling, funky "Locked Down," produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach.
After Wham! made their initial chart breakthrough with the single Young Guns (Go for It) in 1982, Michael's songwriting gift brought them giant hits including Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and I'm Your Man, and they became leading lights of the 80s boom in British pop music, alongside Culture Club and Duran Duran.
Chart abstractors were blinded to the algorithm that identified the diagnoses as the case finding algorithms were not applied until initial chart review was complete.
