(very few people do). A common factor of all new technologies is that the terminology is never 100% understood. Different people will give different names to the same things, and many will use terms without knowing exactly what they mean. This was mentioned before when referring to ...
The primary outcomes are Contact Coverage (Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9] score > 4 as a proportion of those screened) and Effectiveness Coverage (mean PHQ-9 score amongst those who score ≥ 15 at baseline, i.e. those who have moderately severe to severe depression) at 3 ...
Mean age at the time of procedure was 8 (5鈥 11) years, mean baseline hemoglobin was 8.5 (7.8鈥 9.3) g/dl, and mean hemoglobin F was 18.4卤8.2%. SCD severity was low-risk in 57 (73%) and high-risk in 21 (27%) patients. Surgical risk was low-risk in 20 (25.6%) and medium...
[51], with the knowledge that the standard deviation is likely to be lower using a dietary questionnaire [52], which would mean our sample size calculation will be conservative We have estimated the standard deviation of the proportion of dietary energy from free sugar (SD: 5.4) from a ...
We will search for studies in 10 different databases using keywords in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and Chinese related to physical punishment. We will extract qualitative data from the studies and the statistics needed to transform all study-level effect sizes into standardized mean ...
BP will be assessed as a continuous measure (systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure) in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) using a validated sphygmomanometer and as a binary category of hypertension (yes/no) defined as BP > 140/90 mmHg (3) Clinical service delivery indicators Quality-...
Specific to financial savings, the mean savings for participants in the intervention arm increased from USD equivalent of $2.15 at baseline to $19.34 at 24-months, while the control arm participants' mean savings in- creased from $1.78 to $4.44 over the same time period. Applying an intent-...
Cluster-level summaries will be generated for key outcomes, such as the mean (SD) change in HbA1c within each AAM and compared across intervention and control groups. Any baseline covariates significantly associated with outcomes (p < 0.05) will be included in models for primary and ...

In addition, generalized estimating equations (GEE) logistic regression models with the same clustering and mean model structure and exchangeable working correlation matrix was used to express the intervention effect at the population level. Secondary analyses adjusted for relevant covariates to im- prove...
