Using a standardized measure, the model spits out a numerical ranking of volatility so investors can make apples-to-apples comparisons.
IR was estimated using a standardized measure of insulin sensitivity: the homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR).
Few studies present data from the perspective of an injury pyramid or using a standardized measure of injury severity, i.e. Injury Severity Score (ISS).
As the observed height will be very important for the accuracy of the prediction, measurement error should be minimized by using a standardized measuring technique, with measurements preferably performed by the same person and at the same time of the day.
Anthropometrics was carried out by a designated nurse and physician, as part of an on-going research program ascertaining: height (to the nearest 0.5 cm), weight (to the nearest 0.1 kg), waist and hip circumferences (measured using a standardized measuring tape in cm), in addition to systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements.
Waist circumference was measured using a standardized measuring tape in cm, in addition to systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements.
Anthropometric data were collected by a designated research nurse and physician, as part of an ongoing research program ascertaining height (to the nearest 0.5 cm), weight (to the nearest 0.1 kg), and waist and hip circumferences (measured using a standardized measuring tape in cm), in addition to systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements.

Waist circumference was obtained using a standardized measuring tape rounded off to the nearest centimeter, measured midway between the lowest rib and iliac crest after normal expiration, while hip circumference was measured at the level of the greater trochanters as done previously [ 15].
Physicians reported that they do ask their patients general questions related to HRQoL, most specifically related to sleep, fatigue, and impacts on work, though they do not routinely use a standardized measure of HRQoL when assessing patients with AL amyloidosis.
We chose not to use a standardized measure alongside our ratings for this reason.
