โœฆ Synopsis

Using a modiยฎed Delphi method, the factors inยฏuencing length of inpatient stay (LOS) were explored. Row/column eects loglinear modelling was used to compare ratings between the ยฎrst and second rounds, and between the clinical and non-clinical groups. Rating scale modelling was used to classify and determine the relative importance of each factor. Six important and 48 signiยฎcant determinants of LOS were found, and four unimportant factors were identiยฎed. The relationship among these factors and the implications of this study are explored.

A two-stage linkage strategy was employed to identify major genes for a simulated complex disease via a genome scan. The importance of several approaches for improving the ability to locate major genes has been illustrated. These approaches are: adjusting for covariates, ascertaining through multipl

The ratio of free prostate-specific antigen (f-PSA) to total PSA (t-PSA) in serum, calculated as percent free PSA (f-PSA%), is lower in patients with prostate carcinoma (PCa) than in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). This parameter facilitates discrimination between the 2 groups of pa
