Comparison of MRSA rates was hampered, as two different prevalence numerators were used, patients colonized with MRSA and methicillin-resistant isolates.
In cases where prevalence is different across zygosity, for example DZ twinning itself (Hoekstra et al. 2008), the model can be extended to incorporate two different prevalence parameters with separate prior specifications.
Six studies reported five different prevalence periods on shoulder pain [ 73, 77, 78, 84, 86, 88] and two studies also included upper arm pain using two different prevalence periods [ 87, 89] (Table 8).
We present six curves representing two different prevalences of migraine in the target sample (circle = 0.2 and triangle = 0.5) given three different PT in the discovery sample (black = 5 × 10− 8, red = 1 × 10− 4, and blue = 0.05.
Sixteen studies on NP reported six different prevalence periods [ 41, 61, 67- 73, 73, 75- 782 82, 84- 87] of which the one-month prevalence was the most commonly used period.
Five different prevalence periods on hip pain were reported in nine studies [ 73, 75, 77, 78, 83, 87, 90- 92] (Table 11).
Eleven studies reported five different prevalence periods on knee pain [ 27, 73, 77, 78, 83, 86, 87, 91- 94] (Table 12).
Back pain was used in six studies [ 62, 63, 68, 70, 72, 73] on five different prevalence estimates, all with different BP definitions and with a wide range in prevalence estimates.
Given the above mentioned results, we investigated the sensitivity of quarantine effectiveness to four different lengths of quarantine (2.8, 4.8, 5.7 and 8.7 days) and to three different prevalence levels at the source (1%, 5% and 10%).
Low back pain was reported in 20 studies all with different LBP definitions and with eight different prevalence periods (Table 7) [ 11, 41, 59, 60, 64, 66, 69, 71, 74, 75, 77- 83, 85- 87].
Elbow pain was reported in four studies [ 73, 77, 78, 86] and elbow/forearm pain in one study [ 89], of which three different prevalence periods were used (Table 9).
