This study used consistent methods to model the effects of an exceptional heat wave on mortality and ED visits.
An international study using consistent methods is needed to investigate the association between access to parks and physical activity.
This survey, covering more than 3,000 people annually from 1983-2011, and using consistent methods, is the best source of data for tracking changing attitudes towards government policies.
"Repeated assessments using consistent methods are the only way we will know if the great work happening at the local, state, and federal levels ultimately corresponds with reduced sexual violence rates in the future".
Within the Australian EEZ, certain localities have been sampled thoroughly using consistent methods for a wide range of taxa and depths, producing detailed datasets.
As reported previously (Biro et al. 2010, 2013), the study was conducted at three sites, using consistent methods, although serum was routinely collected only at two: Kaiser Permanente in the San Francisco Bay Area ("California" site), and Cincinnati Children's Hospital/ University of Cincinnati, Ohio ("Ohio" site).
Additional controlled studies are needed that prespecify disease progression as a primary or secondary endpoint and that use consistent methods with central review to collect and report the disease-progression data.
To use consistent methods within and between reviews, we calculated the p value for the trial by a z-test (log-transformed for dichotomous data) rather than use the p-values calculated by various means in the individual trials.
To generate valid, comparable estimates of consumption of foods around the world, we used consistent methods across regions, countries, age and sex subgroups, and time, to: Identify specific foods having chronic disease impact, based on strength of evidence for aetiological effects on coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, type 2 diabetes or diet-related cancers.
According to these new guidelines, follow-up CT examinations should use consistent methods with thin (e.g., 1-mm thick), contiguous (or overlapping) sections obtained with a low-dose technique.
