This review synthesized studies from seven different countries, among which comparability might be limited.
Among other things, the experts will consider the extent to which extended time affects the comparability of scores between people with disabilities and people without them.
We will then assess characteristics of the enrolled pregnancies to determine the extent to which our randomization procedure achieved comparability; these characteristics will include maternal, paternal, household, and socio-economic variables.
The main purpose of our analysis was to investigate to which extent RNA degradation limits the comparability of gene expression data derived from rectal cancer biopsies from different patients.
Its distribution provides a criterion with which to assess comparability between populations that are exposed or not exposed to treatment [ 21].
More consistency between qualitative and quantitative research and between quantitative measures of socio-cultural factors will help to increase the quality of the data collected, to enhance comparability which is a prerequisite for meta-analyses, to avoid duplication and in general to produce better scientific evidence to inform managers and policy-makers working on HIV/AIDS.
We therefore created a composite category of C45.0 and C45.9 to ensure comparability, which we deemed more reasonable than the alternative choices of analyzing only C45.0 or mixing C45.0 with other subcategories for example, peritoneal (C45.1) or pericardial (C45.2) or other sites (C45.7).
As in the GBD 2004, DisMod II was used to model the data, which ensures comparability of results.
Since the participants' interviews were distributed over a period of three full years in SHIP and 1 year in the DHS, at least one full year of data assessment is covered which facilitate comparability to the averaged amount of physical activity in KORA.
Anyhow, the main limitation of this study is the small preliminary patient collective which limits comparability to larger case serious in the literature.
