An expert panel validated these adjustments and assessed their feasibility and cost.
The findings of our longitudinal cohort study were further validated by adjustment for the declining incidence of gastric neoplasm due to improved sanitation and hygiene.
A simple adjustment of outdated BMIs based on our modelled changes over time brought the CPRD mean BMI statistics in line with the HSE estimates, and when we validated the adjustment in a subset of patients with repeated BMI measures, we found smaller errors on average, compared with simply carrying outdated BMI records forwards.
Using data from a comprehensive electronic medical record and an externally validated risk adjustment methodology applicable to all hospitalized patients, we quantified the incremental effect of increasing clinical detail on the likelihood of a patient receiving a RBC transfusion during hospitalization [ 19- 21].
To our knowledge, no comorbidity list has been validated for risk adjustment in LBP patients.
The degenerated disc was validated for each adjustment using FE anaylsis with a motion segment L4-5 model.
Adaptations of the Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidity indices [ 20, 30] have been validated for risk adjustment of postoperative morbidity and mortality [ 31- 33].
We have derived and validated a risk adjustment model for emergency medical admissions based on age, ICD-10 code, active malignancy, and routinely recorded physiological and blood variables that provided good discriminant value for seven day mortality in a variety of settings.
We used an expert panel consensus to validate proposed methodological adjustments and to determine their feasibility and cost.
Multiple methodologies to document increased arterial stiffness are validated, either relating vessel size adjustments to distending pressure, determining pulse wave velocity (PWV), or examining pulse waveforms [ 48].
An instrument named the sexuality adjustment scale and validated by researchers, was used to measure pre and post test health status of subjects.
