The areas under the ROC curve for plasma CRP and albumin are 0.583 and 0.313, which precludes use of this biochemical marker as a useful predictor of readmission to the ICU in our population.
One woman was taking exogenous insulin, which precluded use of the HOMA to assess beta-cell function.
Another limitation stems from differences in outcome measures and intervention groups, which precluded use of quantitative syntheses.
Unfortunately, our dataset does not contain information on canceled limit orders, which precludes us from using this extended measure of order imbalance.
Within blocks, test tones were separated by only 3 s, which effectively precluded using relative pitch as a response strategy [27], [29].
The presented method can be easily used to determine the activity of various catalysts under conditions which preclude the use of a conventional rotating disk electrode.
Despite the apparent simplicity of Dop-ABI measurements, they are time consuming and require technical skill and a dedicated device (2, 6, 7), which preclude routine use of ABI measurements in general practice (6).
The proposed methods are simple which preclude any use of harmful and costly solvents and reagents.
However, SCCs in evolving digraphs have the following unique properties, which preclude the use of Tarjan's algorithm.
However, the adult OVX rabbit model has many limitations which preclude its use for routine drug screening, including limited availability of skeletally mature aged rabbits, requirements for surgical manipulation, long study duration and a large body weight that requires preparation of large quantities of agents.
