Undoubtedly, validating utility estimates among a population of patients with HE in the future may be advantageous.
The QWB-SA is a widely used, validated, multiattribute utility model that combines preference-weighted values for symptoms and functioning to provide a health utility score.
The results obtained in this study validated the utility of the platform, allowing the identification of new cancer-associated splicing variants with potential utility in the management of lung cancer.
In this study, we validated the utility of an artificial mitochondrial DNA vector with a virus promoter on mitochondrial transgene expression.
We also validated the utility of these micro-wells in the context of ROCK inhibition.
We validated the utility of our MFC array by screening environmental microbes for isolates with enhanced electrochemical activities.
Subsequently, by evaluating a subset of these candidate biomarkers by ELISA, this study validated the utility of four candidate biomarkers for distinguishing groups with mild, very mild, or no dementia (CDR 1, 0.5, 0, respectively).
Although these initial experiments validated the utility of using light-induced Fos expression to explore functional synaptic input to M1 ipRGCs, the question remained why only 60% of these cells showed Fos induction after light stimulation.
Therefore, the bionetwork predicted to be involved in the regulation of primordial follicle development identified two previously known regulatory factors which validated the utility of the network analysis for identifying candidate regulatory genes, consistent with previous network studies [13], [15].
We and others have validated the utility of this approach in several published studies.
Health-related quality of life was measured with the well validated Health Utility Index (HUI) [ 25].
