The indices that were compared to include our previous index derived from a PH model (i.e. calculated according to the same approach than with ω(t i) = 1, [ 1]) and other most usual indices: Allison's index [ 3], its modified version [ 5], Nagelkerke [ 4] and Xu and O'Quigley's [ 6] indices.
The goodness-of-fit of the 3-factor engagement structure was assessed with usual CFA indexes: Chi-square over degrees of freedom (χ2/df), Comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis fit index (TLI) and Root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA).
The same strategy was used to assess our secondary objectives, namely, the performance of the usual urinary indices in these patients and the performance of the usual urinary indices and of FeUrea in the subgroup of patients receiving diuretics.
The secondary objectives were to evaluate the performance of the usual urinary indices in these patients and to evaluate the performance of the usual urinary indices and FeUrea in the subgroup of patients receiving diuretics.
Nevertheless, taking these factors into account, and although the usual urinary indices were able to differentiate transient from persistent AKI, the accuracy of the indices was poor and none of them were independently associated with the diagnosis of persistent AKI, indicating a need to identify other biomarkers.
Following the usual multi-index notation, (bge 0) means (b_i ge 0) for all (i,).
To study the characteristics and mortality in intoxicated patients admitted to the ICU, and prediction of mortality for usual prognostic indexes.
The variations of the usual noise indices (maximum noise level, equivalent noise level due to the passing by of the vehicle) with the different parameters concerned, as determined by the modal, are considered and such variations compared with experimental results.
Another advantage of 'citation surfing' is that "it brings together material that would be never collated by the usual subject indexing"[1], reveals unexpected associations of ideas, and thus stimulates creative thinking.
