Outcomes resultant

Event tree analysis is a teclmique for evaluating potential accident outcomes resulting from a specific initiating event. Tlie results of the event tree analysis are clironological sets of failures or errors that may define an accident.

The immediate treatment outcome resulted in less than half (47 percent) of the PCP abusers completing the treatment program. The mean length of stay was just under 4 weeks. 

A meta-analysis of the collective outcome results from three randomized, controlled intravenous SNP trials suggested that intravenous SNP reduces early mortality by =35% in acute myocardial infarction [78]. Since each of the component trials was... 

The accumulated evidence leaves no doubt that MeHg is a serious developmental toxicant in humans, especially to the nervous system. While the toxicological, and behavioral outcomes resulting from high-concentration in utero MeHg exposures are not in debate, questions regarding risks and mechanisms of action following low-concentration, chronic in utero exposures remain. 

Because changes in health outcomes result from so many different and simultaneous factors, measuring the relationship between health outcomes and any specihc determinant remains difficult. Spending on pharmaceuticals is often used as a proxy for the value of pharmaceutical care but often ignores noncompliance, overprescription, over-the-counter sales, and the very definition of a pharmaceutical product. Therefore, the results presented in this chapter should be examined with care, and their precision should not be overstated. 

When several outcomes result from a medical intervention (e.g., the prevention of both death and disability), cost-effectiveness analysis may consider the outcomes together only if a common measure of outcome can be developed. Frequently, analysts combine different categories of clinical outcomes according to their desirability, assigning a weighted utility, or value, to the overall treatment outcome. A utility weight is a measure of the patient s preferences for his or her health state or for the outcome of an intervention. The comparison of costs and utilities sometimes is referred to as cost-utility analysis,... 

Herceptin with cisplatin, doxorubicin or epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide, or paclitaxel. A comparison of serum levels of trastuzumab given in combination with various chemotherapeutic agents did not suggest the possibility of any pharmacokinetic interactions except in combination with paclitaxel. Although not statistically signihcant, mean serum trough concentrations of trastuzumab were consistently elevated, about 1.5-fold, when Herceptin was administered in combination with paclitaxel. However, trastuzumab and paclitaxel were used concurrently in clinical trials with positive outcome results. The concurrent administration of anthracyclines, cyclophosphamide, and trastuzumab increased the incidence and severity of cardiac dysfunction during clinical trials.

When two signals have opposite effects on a metabolic characteristic such as the concentration of a second messenger X, or the membrane potential Vm, the regulatory outcome results from the integrated input from both receptors. 

In asymmetric syntheses, the bulky (i-Pr)3Si group can direct 1,2-addition of phosphite 92 to (S j-triisopropylsilyloxy lactaldehyde (93) to afford adduct 94 preferentially along with the by-product 95 (equation 42)157. The stereochemical outcome results from the bulk of the (i-Pr)3Si protecting group9. Furthermore, the steric congestion in allylic cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl and ferf-butyldimethylsilyl ethers influences their regioselective 1,2- and 1,4-additions to carbonyl compounds under basic conditions158.

For the most part, experimental observations made by chemists—of phase changes, physical and chemical properties, chemical reactions, and so on—are averaged outcomes resulting from the behaviors of a very large number of interacting particles, such as molecules, ions, or rare gas atoms. To make sense of these observations, two general approaches have been pursued. 

Early investigations into a link between dietary tram fatty acid (TFA) intake and plasma cholesterol level in clinical trials, and CHD in epidemiology studies provided conflicting results. This outcome resulted from small numbers of participants in the trials combined with poor experimental... 

Figure 13.3 compares the projected performance of an RO membrane that has been cleaned on time (performance decline within 15% of initial performance) with that for membranes that were cleaned after performance had dropped more than 15%. As the figure shows, cleaning on time results in better cleaning efficacy and in longer intervals between cleanings. Both of these outcomes result... 

Clinical utility. That is, assessment of the risks and benefits, such as cost or patient outcome, resulting from using the test. 

Compare and contrast the adverse health outcomes resulting from extreme heat and winter/ice storms. 

In some cases, such as that of gelatinases, the method not only reveals the activated form of the enzyme but also the zymogen, giving rise to a closely spaced doublet of digestion. This counterintuitive outcome results from the electrophoresis conditions, which may expose binding and active sites of the enzyme without loss of the propeptide. Densitometric analysis of each band of the doublet may then be used to measure the activation level of a protease.
