Septoplasty Outcomes: Nasal Obstruction Improvement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Patients who rated their nasal obstruction as one level better 12 months after septoplasty compared with preoperatively were defined as “improved”. Descriptive statistics are presented as percentages or mean values with standard deviations (SD). The Cochran–Armitage test was used to test for trends in ordered categorical variables. Odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression. Due to the large amount of missing data on the “Unplanned visits to health care within one month of surgery” question (32%), we used multiple imputation using the fully conditional specification method. We included the same variables as in the logistic regression model in the imputation model, with the addition of BMI, and 50 imputations were used. All the analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4M5 (SAS Inst Inc, Cary, NC, USA).

Thyroid Function in Ischemic Stroke

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The clinical and demographic variables were summarized using means for continuous variables, while the numbers and percentages were reported for categorical variables. We used mixed regression model to evaluate change in thyroid function (TSH, fT3, fT4) from hyper-acute, to acute and chronic stages of ischemic stroke. In addition to age, ethnicity, hypertension, diabetes, smoking and body mass index (BMI), we used presenting NIHSS as a covariate to evaluate whether stroke severity is associated with change of TSH, fT3, and fT4. Average values of TSH, fT3, fT4 and NIHSS are reported with standard error. All analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4 M5. Statistical significance was assessed with a p-value of 0.05.

Temporal Trends in Macrolide Prophylaxis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We examined temporal trends in the incidence of macrolide prophylaxis over time (per 1000 people) between Apr. 1, 2004, and Mar. 31, 2018 (14 yr, 56 quarters). The unit of analysis was the quarter. To test the specificity of our findings, we also examined temporal trends in other common antimicrobial agents that have not been endorsed for chronic prophylaxis in this population, namely cephalexin and nitrofurantoin. We performed an interrupted time series analysis to assess for changes in the incidence of macrolide prophylaxis, using a linear model with 2 parameters in addition to the intercept: the preperiod slope and the postperiod slope change.21 (link) In a sensitivity analysis, we repeated the interrupted time series using a first-order autoregressive model. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4M5 (2017, SAS Institute).

Survival Analysis of Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Event-free survival (EFS) was defined as the time from diagnosis of PTLD to relapse, progression, retreatment (second-line therapy), or death due to any cause. Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from diagnosis until death due to any cause. The EFS and OS analyses were performed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association of clinical factors with OS. Baseline clinical and pathological characteristics and management categories by EBV status were compared using the Chi-square test, and P values of <0.05 were considered significant. OS stratified by event within 24 months was compared to the general US population as previously described for newly diagnosed DLBCL.13 (link) The study was approved by Mayo Clinic IRB and conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki. All analyses were performed using R version 3.6.2 and SAS version 9.4M5 software.

Temporal Trends in HbA1c Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We described baseline characteristics, including publicly paid drug claims, according to whether individuals made an insulin claim to compare those who were likely to have type 1 diabetes with those who had type 2 diabetes or did not have diabetes. We used all available HbA1c data, and the unit of analysis was the date on which the HbA1c level was measured.
We used segmented regression models to analyze temporal changes in HbA1c and to test our hypotheses about the impact of OHIP+ on temporal trends in HbA1c. Segmented linear regression is a method to analyze temporal data to evaluate the impact of a policy change. We estimated the models using generalized estimating equation methods with an autoregressive covariance structure to account for repeated measurements for individuals.19 (link),20 We excluded young people with missing values for any variable specified in the models from the analyses. We fit an adjusted model without an interaction between deprivation quintiles to test whether temporal trends changed overall between periods and an adjusted model with interaction terms to test whether the change in temporal trends between periods differed across SES strata (Appendix 1, available at www.cmajopen.ca/content/10/2/E519/suppl/DC1). We used SAS version 9.4 M5 to conduct the analyses.

Respiratory Symptoms and FEV1/FVC Ratios

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We categorized FEV1/FVC ratios and further analysed the association between the different FEV1/FVC ratios and presence of any respiratory symptom, as well as cough with phlegm, dyspnoea and wheeze by using multivariable logistic regression models. All models included age, sex, smoking, pack‐years, BMI and asthma. We used cubic restricted splines with four knots placed at the 5th, 35th, 65th and 95th percentiles for BMI and pack‐years among ever‐smokers, respectively (Harrell, 2015). In an extended analysis, we treated the FEV1/FVC ratios as a continuous variable using a spline with five knots placed at FEV1/FVC = 0.50, 0.60, 0.675, 0.725, 0.80 and 0.90. We analysed the entire population, and performed additional separate analyses for never‐smokers and ever‐smokers. We also performed a sensitivity analysis excluding all individuals with RSP.
All analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4 M5 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC, USA). All results from the logistic regression models are expressed as ORs with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Semaglutide Dose Proportionality and Accumulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Based on previous data with OW s.c. semaglutide, a sample size of 20 subjects was considered sufficient to achieve an acceptably narrow confidence interval for the dose ratio [22 (link)]. Dose proportionality was assessed by the ratio of AUC0–168 h,SS for 0.5 mg/1.0 mg.
To account for potential dropout of up to 20%, a total of 24 subjects were planned for active treatment, and 12 subjects were planned for treatment with placebo (total for both placebo doses), leading to a total number of 36 subjects planned to start in the trial.
The primary endpoint, AUC0–168 h,SS, was derived from the concentration-time curves 0–168 h (1 week) after last semaglutide dose using the non-compartmental, linear trapezoidal method on the observed concentrations using actual time points. The endpoint was analysed by a linear normal model based on the log-transformed values and back-transformed to provide dose ratios alongside 95% confidence intervals. The model included dose group as a fixed factor.
Accumulation ratio (Racc,DC) was calculated as: AUC0-168h,sema,ss/lastdose(inmg)AUC0-168h,sema,SD/firstdose(inmg), where ‘last dose’ is the steady-state dose level of interest (either 0.5 or 1 mg) and ‘first dose’ is the first dose of trial product (0.25 mg).
Analyses were conducted using non-compartmental methods in the statistical software SAS, version 9.4 M5.

Comparative Clinical Outcomes in Older Adults

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analyses were performed using SAS Version 9.4 M5. Baseline characteristics and some outcome data that have not been statistically compared are presented descriptively. In some cases, group sizes were too small for outcomes to be compared statistically. Statistical comparisons of continuous variables were performed using t-tests. Statistical comparisons of incidence rates were performed using Poisson regression. P-values <.05 were considered significant.
Clinical outcomes were determined each year for up to 10 years of follow-up. Changes in clinical outcomes were compared statistically between older adults and middle-aged adults at 2 years. The 2-year period was selected because it was considered a long enough period for changes to become apparent and, after 2 years, the number of patients decreased steadily.
SARs, NSARs, and SAEs are presented as incidence rates per 1000 patient-years and as incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for older vs middle-aged adults.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
