Clinical prediction rules: what are they and what do they tell us?
QUESTION Clinical prediction rules are research-based tools that quantify the contributions of relevant patient characteristics to provide numeric indices that assist clinicians in making predictions. Clinical prediction rules have been used to describe the likelihood of the presence or absence of a condition, assist in determining patient prognosis, and help the classification of patients for ...
متن کاملOxygen uptake kinetics: Why are they so slow? And what do they tell us?
VO(2) kinetics and O(2) deficit are important determinants of exercise tolerance. In "normal" conditions convective and diffusive O(2) delivery to skeletal muscle fibers do not represent important determinants of VO(2) kinetics, whose limiting factors seem mainly located within muscle fibers. Whereas a limiting role by PDH has not been confirmed, the role of inhibition of mitochondrial respirat...
متن کاملAvoidable admissions and repeat admissions: what do they tell us?
eady access to primary healthcare is a desire of governments, healthcare providers and the public. One indicator that is recognized as an indirect measure of access to and quality of primary healthcare is the rate of hospitalization for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs). An ACSC hospitalization, also known as a potentially preventable hospitalization, is one in which an individual is...
متن کاملLFP and oscillations—what do they tell us?
This review surveys recent trends in the use of local field potentials-and their non-invasive counterparts-to address the principles of functional brain architectures. In particular, we treat oscillations as the (observable) signature of context-sensitive changes in synaptic efficacy that underlie coordinated dynamics and message-passing in the brain. This rich source of information is now bein...
متن کاملOntological Models in Quantum Mechanics: What do they tell us?
The consequences of the theorems about ontological models are studied. Maximally ψ-epistemic is shown to be equivalent to the conjunction of two other conditions, each of which can be realized in Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimension, but which cannot occur together for d > 2. I argue that current theorems do not invalidate an epistemic interpretation of quantum states. A new condition, called ...
