In the United States (US), the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program is the only comprehensive source of population-based information that includes stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and patient survival data. This program aims to provide a database about cancer incid...
Incidence is harder to measure than prevalence because at least two waves of data must be collected. Roberts et al. (this issue) present a rare example of a large incidence study, showing that around 7% of youth developed a new psychiatric disorder over a year, with the incidence rat...
CMS recently assumed responsibility for estimating the Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) error rate from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). Here, the method used to calculate national, by State, and by error type, estimates for the inpatient acute care portion of this rate is presented....
Impaired facial affect recognition is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and linked to poor social outcomes. We explored whether perception of emoti
Published, peer-reviewed articles on cross-sectional studies, cohort studies or randomised control trials (RCTs) that reported data on FSW from which it was possible to extract or calculate the proportion practising AI and/or the number of AI and UAI acts over any recall period. ...
The correlation increases to ρ = 0.366 (p < 0.001) when the end of the sample period date is used to calculate the first policy implementation-first case gap for these countries. We obtain very similar results when confirmed cases are adjusted for population size, i.e., log confirmed CO...
We then calculate the cumulative viral load, defined as the time integral of the number of infected cells ∫0∞Vtdt, when the initial dose of viral number is very small. To evaluate the parameter dependence of the cumulative viral load, ∫0∞Vtdt, we first reduce the number of parameters...
A business case to calculate the break-even point of producing safe faeces samples for FMT was determined for the NDFB. We considered (i) recruitment, screening, and selecting of suitable donors, (ii) donation of faeces by donors and periodic rescreening, (iii) assessment of eligibility of ...
This study uses the „Google Distance Matrix “interface (Google LLC, California, USA) to depict the usage of IEHT and inpatient treatment within one hospital catchment area and to calculate the car travel times and distances between hospital and the SU home address. Furthermore, spatial ...
rate [35]. d’Onofrio, Manfredi and colleagues generalized the basis for exposure-related behavior change to an information index or variable incorporating not only present but past (historical) prevalence levels as well [31,36,37]. Buonomo has applied this idea to coronavirus transmission, ...
