Fetal growth potential and pregnancy outcome
Seminars in Perinatology, 2004Although the association of fetal growth restriction and adverse pregnancy outcomes is well known, lack of sensitivity limits its clinical value. To a large extent, this limitation is a result of traditionally used method to define growth restriction by comparing fetal or birth weight to population norms. The use of population norms, by virtue of their

Causal Inference Using Potential Outcomes
Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2005Causal effects are defined as comparisons of potential outcomes under different treatments on a common set of units. Observed values of the potential outcomes are revealed by the assignment mechanism—a probabilistic model for the treatment each unit receives as a function of covariates and potential outcomes.

Cure: The Potential Outcome of Nursing Care
Image: the Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 1983AbstractThe recent Social Policy Statement of the American Nurses Association (1980) has advanced a definition of nursing as “the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems.” This definition has legitimized efforts of the last decade to develop a system of nursing diagnosis and should provide the impetus for ...

Outcomes of Management for Potential Deceased Donors
Transplantation Proceedings, 2012Potential deceased donor management optimization is important for organ recovery maximization. Before optimization, the current state of donor management and predictors for organ recovery require analysis.We retrospectively analyzed organ procurement activity and medical management for 2005 to 2010 potential brain death donors at Seoul National ...

A Potential Outcomes Approach to Developmental Toxicity Analyses
Biometrics, 2006Summary Estimating the effects of a toxin on fetal development in animal models such as mice can be problematic, because the number of pups that develop and survive until birth may simultaneously affect developmental outcomes such as birth weight and be affected by the introduction of a toxin into the fetal environment.

So far, the argument in the book has been first that change has become inevitable, and second that the incumbent autocratic regimes will not be able to counter these forces of change. In this chapter we will look at what kind of change could ensue. But first let’s see how change occurs.

Mediation analysis via potential outcomes models
Statistics in Medicine, 2008AbstractThis paper develops a causal or manipulation model framework for mediation analysis based on the concept of potential outcome. Using this framework, we provide new definitions and measures of mediation. Effects of manipulations are modeled via the linear structural model.

High-resolution CT scanning: potential outcome measure
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2004High-resolution CT (HRCT) imaging of the chest can provide both structural and functional lung analysis useful to evaluate initial and progressive cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Chest HRCT scoring systems have been used to evaluate the extent and severity of CF specific airway and lung parenchymal disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize

Stable Association and Potential Outcomes
2010The literature on causality is wide-ranging, difficult at times, and controversial.1 Rather than delving into all of the nuances of this material, this chapter and the next have a much more modest goal. Through the analysis of examples, these chapters aim to sensitize the reader to various conceptions of causality discussed by social and statistical ...

Morphing Images to Demonstrate Potential Surgical Outcomes
Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America, 2010Morphing patient images to offer some demonstration of the intended surgical outcome can support shared expectations between patient and facial plastic surgeon. As part of the preoperative consultation, showing a patient an image that compares their face before surgery with what is planned after surgery can greatly enhance the surgical experience. This
