However, our large difference in shedding prevalence by specimen (40% in saliva vs. 20% in urine using the same limit of detection) cannot be compared to the results from those previous studies; our study design selected for shedders, including a preponderance of saliva shedders, and then sampled from them repeatedly.
In the current study, we used the same limits for data acceptance as in the Swedish Perinatal Quality Registry, i.e., infants with a BW <200 or >9,998 g and a BL <15 or >65 cm.
If the saliva specimens had used the same limit of detection as urine (i.e., 16,000 copies/mL), their median viral load would have been 629,370 copies/mL rather than 82,900 copies/mL.
Furthermore, the efficacy of generating a multicomponent skeletal mechanism was compared to combining skeletal mechanisms produced separately for neat fuel components; using the same error limits, the latter resulted in a larger skeletal mechanism size that also lacked important cross reactions between fuel components.
The secondary PK variables (AUCtau of norbuprenorphine and Cmaxss, Cminss, and FI of both buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine) were analyzed using the same equivalence limits and the same method as for the primary PK variable.
Environmentalists support the effort and also favor using the same leverage to limit drift-net fishing farther out at sea.
A secondary analysis, using the same control group, limited the case definition to women whose severe PPH was due to uterine atony.
Using the same benchmark dose lower limit and uncertainty factor used by the NRC, Mahaffey et al. (2004) calculated that blood total mercury levels > 3.5 μg/L in mothers could be associated with increased risk to the developing fetal nervous system.
We calculated confidence limits using the same Monte Carlo procedure as described in Step 3. We took the bounds of the central 9,500 values as the 95% confidence limits.
