Relevant targets for successful prediction vs. actual clinical data should be set with reference to the therapeutic index of the drug.
With reference to the gingival/periodontal indices, 174 (62.3%) patients had an API score <20%, while 105 (37.7%) patients had an API score ≥20 and ≤30% prior to augmentation.
We selected search terms used with reference to the relevant indexing terms used in Embase (Elsevier, New York, NY, USA) and MedLine (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) and key words used in published literature.
The number of complications was calculated with reference to the Diabetes Complications Index (DCI) [ 23].
Impact results are reported in terms of typical load-deflection and energy-time curves, but also discussed with reference to the well known ductility index (DI) parameter.
Dates of death were confirmed in the medical record with reference to the Social Security Death Index.
Selected continuous variables were dichotomized with reference to the threshold maximizing the Youden Index (sensitivity plus specificity minus one) and then rounded to the nearest easy-to-recall value.
To identify risk factors for CFP-R at bacteraemia onset, continuous variables were dichotomized with reference to the threshold maximizing the Youden Index (sensitivity plus specificity minus one), and univariate analyses were carried out using the chi-square test or exact Fisher test.
Stage 3 involved indexing the data with reference to the thematic framework.
Interpretation of child growth in a population depends primarily on the growth reference used, and literature lacks data on indices of nutritional status with reference to the WHO and USCDC references that are potentially useful for Pakistani children [ 9- 11].
The median quality of life index during the observation period with reference to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale (ECOG) was 3. The hospital local ethics committee approval was obtained for the study.
