Baseline characteristics and statistical power in randomized controlled trials: selection, prognostic targeting, or covariate adjustment?

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Heterogeneity of patients is a common problem in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in various fields of clinical research. We aimed to investigate the potential benefits of different approaches for dealing with heterogeneity in a case ... Read more...

High occupancy increases the risk of early death or readmission after transfer from intensive care.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a lack of intensive care unit beds was leading to premature patient discharge from the intensive care unit and subsequent early readmission or death. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: A single Canadian ... Read more...

Temporal changes of surface wave velocity associated with major Sumatra earthquakes from ambient noise correlation.

8 Aug 2009 Detecting temporal changes of the medium associated with major earthquakes has implications for understanding earthquake genesis. Here we report temporal changes of surface wave velocity over a large area associated with 3 major Sumatra earthquakes ... Read more...
