The most recent study with the smallest number of cases (n = 37) yielded large variance in the effect estimate; removing this study led to almost the same summary RR (0.62; 95% CI 0.56 0.70; P for Q statistic = 0.35, H = 1.0 [1.0–1.3], and I = 9% [0 44]).
All continuous variables are reported as medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs) because some of the data was not normally distributed (e.g. length of stay) and it is easier to interpret if all continuous variable are reported with the same summary statistics.
Some universities sent us all the disciplinary board protocols and decisions; some gave us the same summary of cases as they sent to the SNAHE, and two just gave us the requested numbers and no additional information.
In the same summary paragraph, the authors went on to promise a computational pipeline - but it is not clear what method development has been undertaken in the manuscript.
To allow a more appropriate comparison to be made, Table 5 includes in the final column a value for the unweighted mean effect size; the same summary as was given for the non-SDQ studies in Table 2.
A New York City bar like The Ainsworth, for instance, will have a CitySearch page, but the same summary description and reviews will show up in a Bing search, on Local.com (with a Citysearch photo), Urbanspoon, Yellowpages.com, MerchantCircle, and so on.
Because driving pressure has been defined as the quotient of (an unchanging) tidal volume and CRS, the same summary statements apply regarding the relative effects of PEEP, prone positioning, and IAP on that indicator of respiratory system mechanics.
The same summary plots that were given for the observed distribution are given in supplementary figures S1, S2, S3, S4.
The same summary of published literature [10] identified several factors which had not generally been associated with adherence in the published literature.
