Glucose disappearance rate in neonatal infection

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1973
Bagging pressures rarely exceed the popoff pressure of 22 mm. Hg. The electrical elements of the unit are outside the incubator, and hence accidental contact with other electrical leads such as monitoring cables is highly unlikely. The only possible leakage path is through the wellinsulated microswitch and down the oxygen tubing.

Nosocomial Infection Rates as an Indicator of Quality

Medical Care, 1988
An interest in using nosocomial infection rates as an outcome measure to reflect quality of care in hospitals prompted us to consider factors in addition to quality that influence these rates.

Estimation of the Rate of Diagnosis of HIV Infection in HIV Infected Individuals

Biometrika, 1994

Infections with Varying Contact Rates: Application to Varicella

Biometrics, 2004
SummaryWe develop methods for the analysis of infectious disease data when age‐specific contact rates vary over time. Our methods are valid when contact rates vary slowly on the time scale of the infection process, and are applicable to a variety of data types including serial seroprevalence surveys and case reports.
