The Latin American piPTB rate (31.7%) is likely due to lower CS thresholds for and wider availability of elective CS in these countries [ 25], however the rate of elective piPTB deliveries in this region was also quite low (5.1%).
A common procedure consists of fixing P f a according to the application requirements and letting the threshold vary with the availability of the measurements.
The threshold parameter T, indicating the availability of the alternative diet, was changed from 0.2 to 1.0 in steps of 0.05, and changed in the predation risk to the Model was observed.
The priority-setting issue with regard to HR in the study area should be to secure access to a determined threshold of quality, with increased availability of this level of quality provided as resources and managerial capacity are made available.
Barriers to and recommendations for improving the end-of-life care system were consistent across the cities included in this study, although the availability of low threshold services in two cities (Ottawa and Toronto) was perceived to minimize some barriers to care.
The threshold for hospital admission, the availability of antimicrobials in the community without prescription and their use prior to admission will vary between different localities and undoubtedly bias who is admitted to hospital.
The optimal molecular profiling method, the lack of standardised biological thresholds, inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity, availability of enough tumour material, correct clinical trials design, attrition rate, logistics or costs are only some of the issues that need to be taken into consideration in clinical research in small genomically stratified patient populations.
The assessment of the home environment consisted of questions about lighting, stairs, thresholds, corridors, floors, carpets, furniture and availability of handrails.
The formation of the alternative spatial model of HSAP allows for relevant clustering effects of the small areas within these population-based health markets (e.g. variation in thresholds for stationary admission resulting from availability of beds, outpatient facilities with the possibility of monitoring a child for a short period of time).
This threshold combination was used based on availability of valid Actiheart accelerometer data and sensitivity analyses.
