In the current study, the range of R was modest (0.18-0.22; Table 2); consistent with that previously reported, 0.13 [ 78] to 0.21 [ 71, 83], and the observations of Diehr et al. that R for cost utilisation data are usually ≤ 0.20 [ 12].
Optimising land use in conjunction with, and usually in competition with, biomass utilisation paths represents an increasing challenge in the context of climate and energy policies.
Finally, unlike most other similar health statistics or utilisation surveys overseas, the THS series usually combines two or even three sub-surveys of disparate topics into an "omnibus" type of questionnaire for economy of scale and efficiency.
In literature it has been observed that, in general, women show a higher utilisation of the health care system, usually explained by differences in health seeking behaviour, itself explained by differences in social role, health knowledge, health status, sensitivity to symptoms, willingness to report health problems, acceptance of help seeking, compliance with treatment [ 3, 23, 37, 42- 48].
In some cases, a Delphi panel will be required to obtain missing data, which usually relates to health care utilisation.
Note also that the standard household survey and healthcare utilisation tools (eg, the World Health Survey tool) that usually allow one to look at health financing aspects or out-of-pocket expenditures often do not discriminate between medicines and other items of expenditure.
Simulation modelling of flows of activity usually focus on measures such as utilisation, process and waiting times.
Another limitation refers to the fact that utilization based health service areas are usually not congruent with administrative boundaries and there is consequently a lack of demographic and socio-economic data at this level that would allow an analysis of the related effects on resource utilisation.
To achieve an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in PET images, smoothing filters (SF) are usually employed during or after image reconstruction preventing utilisation of the full intrinsic resolution of the respective scanner.
Traditional Birth Attendant utilisation is low in the district, and mothers-in-law usually attend deliveries [ 22].
