They use the algorithm recommended by the manufacturer, which defines a fixation if the POR remains within a diameter of 1° for at least 100 ms.
It seems reasonable to recommend using the algorithm tested on the largest number of patients, i.e., as in the ProVAP et Prorata studies [33, 69], where stopping therapy was strongly encouraged when the serum PCT level was <0.5 ng/mL at 3 days or more after initiating antibiotics, or an >80% decrease from the maximal serum PCT value was recorded.

Causes of visual impairment by eye and for the individual were determined using a clinical algorithm recommended by the World Health Organization.
To measure the test-retest reliability of each instrument, scores were obtained for each instrument using the recommended algorithms and the ICC was computed from these scores.
HCS PP men and women with sarcopenia also reported poorer (i.e. lower) SF-36 GH and PF scores (Table 3).> -wrap-foot> In this present study, we describe the prevalence of sarcopenia among community-dwelling older people in the UK using the EWGSOP recommended diagnostic algorithm.
Using the recommended clustering algorithm in combination with a Kernel Density Estimator, the RCM is parametrised automatically without user interaction.
The SF-8 is a short form 24 hour recall version of the widely used SF-36, and yields separate summary scores for physical and mental health, calculated using algorithms recommended by the authors[ 42].
'Mobile system' is the smart phone application to be used in the experiments on the field, 'Database' is the embedded data management system in the smart phone, 'NOAA' is an integrated module in smart phones to estimate solar timing and angles using different astronomical algorithms recommended by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
