Equivalency testing, a statistical method often used in biostatistics to determine the equivalence of 2 experimental drugs, is introduced social scientists. Examples equivalency testing are offered, and usefulness scientist discussed.Equivalency testing. currently by biostatisticians whether drugs have an equally effective outcome, offers scientists for analysis various interventions. This choice when researchers able specify small, non-zero difference between treatments that can serve...
Structural analysis programs used in solving design problems are often computationally expensive. Obtaining optimal solutions typically requires numerous iterations involving and optimization programs. This process becomes prohibitive due to the amount of computer time required for convergence an optimum design. Any new techniques significantly reducing solve would be beneficial. One promising technique is simulate a slow, expensive structural program with fast, inexpensive neural network....
Objective To evaluate the use of daily Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring in prediction individual mortality rates for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Design A prospective study consecutive patients admitted to four university-affiliated ICUs. Setting Medical-surgical ICUs tertiary academic hospitals. Patients Daily data from 3,350 ICU admissions, excluding postoperative cardiac patients, were collected January December 1991. Measurements Main Results...
The design process associated with large engineering systems requires an initial decomposition of the complex system into modules tasks which are coupled through transference output data. In analyzing or optimizing such a system, it is essential to be able determine interactions figure prominently enough significantly affect accuracy solution. Many approaches assume capability available what and exist order execution will imposed during analysis process. Unfortunately, this often problem...
BACKGROUND. The impact of the Minnesota Parental Notification Law on abortion and birth was examined. METHODS. Using linear models, outcome parameters were compared before after enactment law. Time by age group interactions also RESULTS. pre-enactment to post-enactment change in rate reflected a greater decline for minors (less than or equal 17 years old) 18-19 year-olds (who not under law). An increase occurred women ages 20-44. law appeared have had no minors. Following law, early...
This study described the influence of a computerized medical record summary system in three disease areas (hypertension, obesity and renal disease) observed course controlled, randomized prospective 479 Northwestern University Clinic patients. Experimental patients, who had available automated summaries, control only manual record, were compared on several tests procedures whose yearly occurrence was considered good practice for this patient population, as well measures outcome care....
Several studies have suggested an increased risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia among Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-uninfected recipients kidney transplants from HCV-RNA+ deceased donors (HCV D+/R-), but these featured small sample sizes and limited ability to address confounding variables. We assembled a retrospective cohort adult transplant at five US centers between 4/1/2015 12/31/2020 determine the association HCV D+/R- outcomes CMV (> 1000 IU/mL), death-censored graft failure, mortality in...
Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hemoglobinopathy that affects over 30 million individuals worldwide. When significant “sickling” occurs, blood flow to specific organs can be impaired, resulting in ischemia or infarction. This problematic during intracranial surgery, which low systemic circulatory volume due loss lead hypotension. Using multivariable modeling approach, we gathered large patient dataset through nationally representative database inform future neurosurgical management...
Condom use remains important for sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention. This analysis examined the prevalence of problems with condoms among 1,152 participants who completed a supplemental questionnaire as part Project RESPECT, counseling intervention trial conducted at five publicly funded STD clinics between 1993 and 1997. Altogether, 336 (41%, 95% confidence interval: 38, 45) reporting condom indicated that broke, slipped off, leaked, or were not used throughout intercourse in...
Let C(X) denote the hyperspace of subcontinua continuum X, and let μ: C(X)->[0,1] be a Whitney function.The purpose this paper is to investigate whether certain properties X are inherited by continua μ~\t).
The present study examined the influence of a computerized medical record summary system on incidence and length hospitalization. Additional indicators process care were also considered. A prospective, randomized design was used where 241 experimental patients had 238 control traditional record. All followed compared over two-year period. Although no difference in hospitalization found between with without summary, during second year, summaries spent fewer days hospital. Patients more...
Many companies are looking for new tools and techniques to aid a design manager in making decisions that can reduce the time cost of cycle. One tool is Design Manager's Aid Intelligent Decomposition (DeMAID). Since initial public release DeMAID 1989, much research has been done areas decomposition, concurrent engineering, parallel processing, process management; many have emerged. Based on these recent development efforts, numerous enhancements added further saving both The key enhancement,...
Abstract Background Primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors are often associated with high symptom burden and a poor prognosis from the time of diagnosis. The purpose this study is to describe patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data long-term survivors (LTS; ≥5-year survival post-diagnosis). Methods Clinical/treatment/molecular characteristics PROs (symptom burden/interference (MDASI-BT/SP), perceived cognition (Neuro-QoL), anxiety/depression (PROMIS), general health status (EQ-5D-3L)) were...
