On the average run lengths of quality control schemes using a Markov chain approach

open access: yes
Control schemes such as cumulative sum (CUSUM), exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and Shewhart charts have found widespread application in improving the quality of manufactured goods and services. The run length and the average run length (ARL)

The Moments of the Optimal Average Run Length of the Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Control Chart For Equally Correlated Variables

open access: yes, 2016
The Hotelling’s T2 is a well-known statistic for detecting a shift in the mean vector of a multivariate normal distribution. Control charts based on T2 have been used in statistical process control for monitoring a multivariate process.

Enhanced Designs for the Multi-Region Run Sum x̄ Control Chart Based on the Median Run Length Metric

open access: yes
Extensive research has focused on the multi-region run sum x̄ control chart, a sophisticated procedure for monitoring process mean shifts, particularly utilising the average run length (ARL) metric.

Associations of Sleep and Shift Work With Osteoarthritis Risk

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Daily rhythms may be critical for maintaining homeostasis of joint tissues. We aimed to investigate the relationships among circadian clock disruption, sleep, and osteoarthritis (OA) risk in humans. Methods In the UK Biobank, a prospective 500,000–person cohort, we evaluated associations among sleep duration, sleeplessness/insomnia, and shift

Exact solution for average run length of CUSUM charts for MA(1) process

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper we apply Fredhom type integral equations method to derive explicit formula of the average run length (ARL) for a Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) chart, when observations are described by a first order moving average MA(1) process, with exponential ...

Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Risk of Retinopathy Associated with Long‐Term Use of Hydroxychloroquine in Patients with Rheumatic Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to estimate the prevalence and cumulative incidence of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy (HCQ‐R) and its risk factors among patients receiving long‐term HCQ with rheumatic diseases through a systematic review and meta‐analysis of observational studies that used spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography (SD‐OCT) for screening ...

Performance comparison of the exact run-length distribution between the run sum X and EWMA X charts

open access: yes, 2016
The run sum (RS) X and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) X charts are very effective in detecting small and moderate process mean shifts. The design of the RS X and EWMA X charts based on the average run length (ARL) alone, can be misleading ...

Integrating Patient‐Reported Quality Measures in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Development of the American College of Rheumatology Implementation Guide

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To support high‐quality, patient‐centered care for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) developed evidence‐based measures incorporating clinical and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs). Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we conducted semistructured interviews ...

Trajectories of Physical Function in Canadian Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We describe trajectories of physical function in children newly diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and identify trajectories with persisting functional impairments and associated baseline characteristics. Methods We included patients enrolled in the Canadian Alliance of Pediatric Rheumatology Investigators (CAPRI) Registry ...
