A systematic approach in defining readmission
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)In the majority of studies on hospital readmissions, a readmission is deemed to have occurred if a patient is admitted within a time window of the previous discharge date. However, these time windows have rarely been ... -
Systematic assessment and validation of compliance-based crack closure measurements in fatigue
(2000-01-01)Different methods of closure measurement and issues related to the identification of closure points are examined. Based on compliance curves obtained from crack mouth clip gauges and near-tip strain gauges, a systematic ... -
Systematic genetic and molecular analysis of insect resistance in Arabidopsis
(Int Society for Plant-Microbe, 2000) -
Systematic lidar observations of Saharan dust over Europe in the frame of EARLINET (2000-2002)
(2008-05-29)More than 130 observation days of the horizontal and vertical extent of Saharan dust intrusions over Europe during the period May 2000 to December 2002 were studied by means of a coordinated lidar network in the frame of ... -
A Systematic Literature Review on Fault Prediction Performance in Software Engineering
(2012)Background: The accurate prediction of where faults are likely to occur in code can help direct test effort, reduce costs, and improve the quality of software. Objective: We investigate how the context of models, the ... -
Systematic mapping between dendritic function and structure
(2009)For many classes of neurons, the relationship between computational function and dendritic morphology remains unclear. To gain insights into this relationship, we utilize an inverse approach in which we optimize model ... -
Systematic non-LTE study of the $-2.6 \le$ [Fe/H] $\le 0.2$ F and G dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. II. Abundance patterns from Li to Eu
(2016-12-19)For the first time, we present an extensive study of stars with individual non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) abundances for 17 chemical elements from Li to Eu in a sample of stars uniformly distributed over the ... -
A systematic overview - a decade of research : The information and counselling needs of people with epilepsy
(2001)This paper explores the background to epilepsy in terms of medical impact and psychosocial effects. The argument that information and counselling may be central to the person with epilepsy is explored. The evidence from ... -
Systematic reappraisal of marsh-orchids native to Scotland
(2023-05-18)The intensively studied Eurasian orchid genus Dactylorhiza has become a model system for exploring allopolyploid evolution, yet determining the optimal circumscriptions of, and most appropriate ranks for, its constituent ... -
A systematic review and behaviour change technique analysis of remotely delivered alcohol and/or substance misuse interventions for adults
(2022-10-01)Background: There has been a lack of systematic exploration of remotely delivered intervention content and their effectiveness for behaviour change outcomes. This review provides a synthesis of the behaviour change techniques ... -
A systematic review and critical appraisal of quality indicators to assess optimal palliative care for older people with dementia
(2019-04-01)Background: A challenge for commissioners and providers of end-of-life care in dementia is to translate recommendations for good or effective care into quality indicators that inform service development and evaluation. ... -
A systematic review and meta-analysis on delaying surgery for urothelial carcinoma of bladder and upper tract urothelial carcinoma: Implications for the COVID19 pandemic and beyond
(2022-10-04)Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to competing strains on hospital resources and healthcare personnel. Patients with newly diagnosed invasive urothelial carcinomas of bladder (UCB) upper tract (UTUC) may experience ... -
A systematic review and quantitative analysis of resting energy expenditure prediction equations in healthy overweight and obese children and adolescents
(2020-02-19)Background: Resting energy expenditure (REE) estimates are often needed in young people and can be predicted using prediction equations based on body weight. However, these equations may perform poorly in those who are ... -
A systematic review of a clinical intervention in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction in the Gulf region
(2016-05)Myocardial infarction (MI) is a coronary artery disease that results from partial or complete occlusion of the coronary by thrombus, which leads to myocardium necrosis. The Gulf populations have increased risk of cardiovascular ... -
Systematic review of behaviour change techniques to promote participation in physical activity among people with dementia
(2018-02-01)Purpose. The objective of this study was to systematically review the evidence for the potential promise of behaviour change techniques (BCTs) to increase physical activity among people with dementia (PWD). Methods. ... -
A systematic review of counterfeit and substandard medicines in field quality surveys
(2014-09)Counterfeit and substandard medicines pose a great threat to public health and the economy worldwide. Reports suggest their prevalence is increasing and can no longer be ignored. A detailed account on the current nature ... -
Systematic review of critical drivers for delay risk prediction: towards a conceptual framework for BIM-based construction projects
(2022-10-13)Purpose – This study aims to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework that serves as a foundation for identifying most critical delay risk drivers for Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based construction projects. ...
