Profile of rheumatology patients willing to report adverse drug reactions: bias from selective reporting
BACKGROUND Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have a significant impact on human health and health care costs. The aims of our study were to determine the profile of rheumatology patients willing to report ADRs and to identify bias in such a reporting system. METHODS Semi-intensive ADRs reporting system was used in our study. Patients willing to participate (N=261) completed the questionnaire desi...
متن کاملModeling late entry bias in survival analysis.
In a failure time analysis, we sometimes observe additional study subjects who enter during the study period. These late entries are treated as left-truncated data in the statistical literature. However, with real data, there is a substantial possibility that the delayed entries may have extremely different hazards compared to the other standard subjects. We focus on a situation in which such e...
متن کاملPower and potential bias in field studies of natural selection.
The advent of multiple regression analyses of natural selection has facilitated estimates of both the direct and indirect effects of selection on many traits in numerous organisms. However, low power in selection studies has possibly led to a bias in our assessment of the levels of selection shaping natural populations. Using calculations and simulations based on the statistical properties of s...
متن کاملPotential Reporting Bias in fMRI Studies of the Brain
BACKGROUND Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have reported multiple activation foci associated with a variety of conditions, stimuli or tasks. However, most of these studies used fewer than 40 participants. METHODOLOGY After extracting data (number of subjects, condition studied, number of foci identified and threshold) from 94 brain fMRI meta-analyses (k = 1,788 unique dat...

conclusions in the initial treatment, it seems necessary to supervise and monitor the treatment process through staff in addiction treatment centers together with the company of the addicts’ families to reduce relapse rate. results the relapse rate was 30.42%, mean and median of the time to relapse (survival time) were 27.40 ± 1.63 months (ci 95%: 24.19 - 30.60) and 25 ± 2.25 months (ci 95%: 22...
