When these analyses were performed, however, only four years' data were available, limiting the usefulness of comparisons over time.
Therefore, while it is interesting to note small overlaps between the comprehensive DE profiles in this study and genes included in these pathways, the differences in scope between the lists limit the usefulness of comparisons to disease KEGG pathways as currently defined.
However, location was not available for three partial law states, limiting the usefulness of this comparison.
Earlier studies of these cases, led by Faist (1992 , 1994 1995, 1996), testify to the usefulness of the comparison for explaining the relationship between political systems, citizenship regimes and immigration and integration policies of the receiving states, as well as the rights possessed and socio-economic positions occupied by immigrants.
While comparing the richness estimates (Table 1), we considered several factors that could bias these estimates, thus potentially limiting the usefulness of such comparison.
In more recent surveys amongst this population [ 34], the proportion of MSM never contacted by the intervention was greatly reduced, limiting the usefulness of such comparisons.
To inform Danish health care reform efforts, we compared health care system inputs and performance and assessed the usefulness of these comparisons for informing policy.
It should be noted that the usefulness of the comparisons between HRQL measures can be limited by sample size, particularly as studies are usually not powered to detect differences according to preference-based measures.
4 Recently, conflicting evidence has emerged about the validity of indirect comparison, 6 therefore the potential usefulness of adjusted indirect comparison is still overshadowed by concern about bias resulting from its misuse.
The second questionnaire was administered upon the completion of all the training sessions and evaluated all the above parameters in addition to parameters of preference, clinical usefulness, and comparison of the two different types of scanners.
We then evaluated on individual targets the usefulness of PCM in comparison with QSAR models (Table 2C and Figure 4).
