OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the gold standard of 24-h urinary albumin excretion in preeclamptic women could be substituted by a shorter collection period. METHODS From each woman, three spot, two 12-h, and one 24-h urine samples were collected. For each sample, urine albumin concentrations in milligram per liter were analyzed by the immunoturbidimetric method. The albumin concentrations in...

Statistical examinations of deterministic and stochastic response propensity assert that a sample case's propensity is determined by fixed respondent characteristics. The perspective of this article, that of dynamic response propensities, differs, viewing sample cases' propensities as evolving over the course of the data collection. Each sample case begins the data collection period in a " base...
