Total-body bone density and body composition data were collected on all subjects, with acquisitions performed using the system-recommended scan mode for patients scanned on the Prodigy (thick or standard) and using the medium scan mode for all subjects scanned on the DPX.
Using the organisational system recommended by the RAM, and for ease of subsequent use, we will organise codes into 'chapters' according to the broader clinical findings that may be encountered during surgical practice.
Participants who nominated two or more ethnic groups were assigned to a single ethnic group using the prioritization system recommended by Statistics New Zealand, with the order of priority being (from highest to lowest): Māori, Pacific, Asian, Other and New Zealand European [ 21].
Participants who nominated two or more ethnic groups were assigned to a single group using the prioritisation system recommended by Statistics New Zealand, with the order of priority being (from highest to lowest): Māori, Pacific, Asian, Other, New Zealand European [ 20].
Information on ethnicity was collected using the 2006 NZ Census of Populations and Dwellings question as recommended by Statistics NZ. 14 The participants who nominated two or more ethnic groups were assigned to a single group using the prioritisation system recommended by Statistics NZ, with the following order of priority (from highest to lowest): Māori, Pacific, Asian, Other and NZ European.
OVD infusion and implantation of the foldable posterior chamber IOL were performed using the injector system recommended for each lens.
Parameter values in the BioNetGen input file of Supplementary Archive File 1 are specified using the unit system recommended by Faeder et al. [ 56].
Results were evaluated on plain radiographs according to the classification system of Capanna et al. Functional assessment was done using the modified system recommended by Enneking et al. In our study group of 25 bone cysts, 15 were classified as completely healed and nine as healed with residual radiolucency.
After a unique list of codes have been developed, we will use the organisational system recommended by the RAND/University of California, Los Angeles (RAND-UCLA) Appropriateness Method (RAM) 63 to group those describing findings or injuries and associated decision variables into chapters according to broader clinical findings encountered during surgical practice (eg, major liver injury).
After a unique list of codes have been developed, we will use the organisational system recommended by the RAND/University of California, Los Angeles (RAND-UCLA) Appropriateness Rating Method to group principal findings or injuries into chapters (subdivided by associated decision variables) according to broader clinical findings encountered during surgical practice (eg, major liver injury).
