ispropensity score matching(PSM) analysis. PSM narrows the set of non-TARP banks in the regression sample to those with similar likelihoods to obtain TARP funding as the TARP banks. The purpose is to help dispel the competing explanation that the results of estimatingEqs. (5.1) and (5.2)...

Furthermore, competing causes of death may be another explanation for the dose-response association between blood transfusion and overall mortality rather than cancer recurrence. It is hypothesized that the detrimental effect of allogenic blood transfusion on cancer outcomes results from immunological ...
One possible explanation is that septic shock patients have less stable hemodynamic status and are more susceptible to the blood pressure-wavering effect. A recent post hoc analysis of septic shock patients with tachycardia who were treated with Esmolol suggested that those with a less vigorous ...
The explanation for this finding was that non-PGT patients in the present study were young (mean age: 30.5 years) with the transfer of mainly D5 blastocysts (70.4%), resulting in a higher pregnancy rate and a lower miscarriage rate. The cutoff value for clinical pregnancy 14 days ...
both laparoscopic and robotic gastrectomy procedures have been performed. Patients were offered the choice to undergo robotic or laparoscopic gastrectomy. Each patient was given a detailed explanation for each type of surgery and chose the type of surgery before operation. Written informed consent for ...
Propensity score matching is a statistical method that is often used to make inferences on the treatment effects in observational studies. In recent years, there has been widespread use of the technique in the cardiothoracic surgery literature to evaluat
Another possible explanation is that during single-port gastrectomy, the approach to the infrapyloric lymph node station, which is a crucial aspect of distal gastrectomy, is more effective in the umbilical approach used in the SIDG group than the right-side approach used in the MLDG group. A ...
Furthermore, the comparable quality of oncologic resection in both groups may be an explanation for the unobserved differences in overall and disease-free survival. It is well known from the literature that both, surgeon as well as hospital specific specialisation and caseload are important predictors...
there is no clear explanation about the reduced initial dose of Capecitabine/5-FU in some patients with a HFS variant other than clinical risk-aversion [26]. Defining and administering optimal dose levels of these drugs for a single or combination of DPYD variants is crucial in maximising the ...
