Usually, in monitoring a proportion p < /em>, the binary observations are considered independent; however, in many real cases, there is a continuous stream of autocorrelated binary observations in which a two-state Markov chain model is applied with first-order dependence. On the other hand, the Bernoulli CUSUM control chart which is not robust to autocorrelation can be applied two-sided co...

PURPOSE This study compared the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) information derived from chart review and administrative systems to assess the completeness and agreement between scores, evaluate the capacity to predict 30-day and 1-year mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and compare the predictive capacity with that of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II model. PATI...

Abstract This study aim to propose a moving average control chart explicit formula based on the Generalized Poisson distribution ( MA GP ) and compare performance of with that Shewhart C ). The run length ARL is used consider performance. results indicated superior for detecting small shifts. Practitioners will find this be accurate as well simple apply use.

BACKGROUND In order to improve the efficiency of patient care, we developed an electronic medical record system, named the Comprehensive Radiation Oncology Management System (C-ROMS). C-ROMS was used together with a commercial record-and-verify system, LANTIS (Siemens Medical Systems Inc., Concord, CA, USA). The impact of the C-ROMS/LANTIS system on the staff workload in the Radiation Oncology ...

OBJECTIVE Compare the performance of Lea Symbols and Sheridan Gardiner charts against the standard test chart used to determine reduced VA during vision screening among pre-schoolers. MATERIAL AND METHOD Seven hundred seventy five pre-school participated where 389 subjects were boys and 386 subjects were girls were tested using the Lea Symbols chart and the Sheridan Gardiner chart. The mean a...

BACKGROUND Different visual acuity chart can be targeted to evaluate the visual function of patients with different eye diseases. We conducted a comparative analysis of the digital logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) vision chart and the standard logarithmic vision chart for the measurement of visual acuity after retinal detachment surgery. METHODS We used the digital LogMAR...

History is typically presented as historiography, where historians communicate via the written word. However, some historians have suggested alternative formats for communicating and thinking about historical information. One such format is known as historiophoty, which involves using a variety of visual images to represent history. The current article proposes that a particular type of graph, ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility, applicability and the value of customised symphysio fundal height (SFH) charts developed for women of Indian origin in the United Kingdom (UK: CSFH - In chart) and women of African origin in the UK (CSFH - Af chart) in detecting fetal growth restriction and predicting low birth weight (LBW) of the neonate in a Lankan population, and to compare these resul...

The attribute Conforming Run Length (CRL) control chart has attracted increasing research interests in Statistical Process Control (SPC). It decides the process status based on the interval or distance between two nonconforming units. This article proposes a Generalized CRL chart (namely GCRL chart) for monitoring the mean of a measurable quality characteristic x under 100% inspection. To run a...
