Professional Fee Ratios for US Hospital Discharge Data [PDF]

Medical Care, 2015
US hospital discharge datasets typically report facility charges (ie, room and board), excluding professional fees (ie, attending physicians' charges).We aimed to estimate professional fee ratios (PFR) by year and clinical diagnosis for use in cost analyses based on hospital discharge data.The subjects consisted of a retrospective cohort of Truven ...

Survival Outcomes and Complications Among Canadian Children With Retinoblastoma: A Population‐Based Report From CYP‐C

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common pediatric ocular cancer, yet population‐based data on survival and risk factors remain limited. This study aimed to describe survival in a large national RB cohort and identify predictors of death and complications.

Ideal and Predictable Hit Ratio for Matrix Transposition in Data Caches

Mathematics, 2020
Matrix transposition is a fundamental operation, but it may present a very low and hardly predictable data cache hit ratio for large matrices. Safe (worst-case) hit ratio predictability is required in real-time systems.

Compression Ratio Estimation Based on Cylinder Pressure Data [PDF]

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2004
Four methods for compression ratio estimation based on cylinder pressure traces are developed and evaluated for both simulated and experimental cycles. The first three methods rely upon a model of polytropic compression for the cylinder pressure. It is shown that they give a good estimate of the compression ratio at low compression ratios, although the

Personalized Selumetinib Dosing in Pediatric Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Insights From a Pilot Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate selumetinib exposure using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas (PN), assess interpatient pharmacokinetic variability, and explore the relationship between drug exposure, clinical response, and adverse effects.

Inflation coupled to a Gauss-Bonnet term

, 2013
The newly released Planck CMB data place tight constraints on slow-roll inflationary models. Some of commonly discussed inflationary potentials are disfavored due mainly to the large tensor-to-scalar ratio. In this paper we show that these potentials may

Oxidative stress parameters in plasma of Huntington's disease patients, asymptomatic Huntington's disease gene carriers and healthy subjects : a cross-sectional study [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND : Animal data and postmortem studies suggest a role of oxidative stress in the Huntington's disease (HD), but in vivo human studies have been scarce.

Estimating the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) with incomplete follow-up data

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2017
Background A standard parameter to compare the disease incidence of a cohort relative to the population is the standardized incidence ratio (SIR). For statistical inference is commonly assumed that the denominator, the expected number of cases, is fixed.

Adherence to Protocol Recommendations for Children With Wilms Tumour in Two Consecutive Studies in the United Kingdom and Ireland—Does Variation Matter?

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Wilms tumour (WT) has excellent event‐free and overall survival (OS). However, small differences exist between countries participating in the same international study. This led us to examine variation in adherence to protocol recommendations as a potential contributing factor.

Increased Neutrophil–Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet–Lymphocyte Ratio in Chronic and Severe Urticaria

Acta Dermato-Venereologica
Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a disturbing skin condition often severely detrimental to quality of life. Haematological markers of inflammation such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte may be used in the assessment of ...
