Background. The quality of care is assessed by set indicators, including life indicators. Dozens countries have approved the EQ-5D questionnaires and developed national / regional
 evaluation systems. We carefully hypothesize that broader usage in real clinical practice local Moscow health system could be incentivized improved through development direct region-specific standard «values set...

In this paper, we develop a specific formal logic in which the basic connective is fuzzy equality and the implication is derived from the latter. Moreover, the fusion connective (strong conjunction) is noncommutative. We call this logic EQ-logic. First, we formulate the basic EQ-logic which is rich enough to enjoy the completeness property. Furthermore, we introduce two extensions which seem to...

Organic matter digestibility (OMD), an essential criterion for the evaluation of the nutrition of ruminants, cannot be measured easily at pasture. Therefore, the objective of this study was to test and compare 2 methods of OMD prediction based on the fecal CP content (CPf) or near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) applied to feces. First, published equations derived from fecal N (Eq. 1(C...

Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse the life cycle coconut oil industry and process improvement alternatives. analysis (LCA) method are based on scope gate gate. This shows that input for production consists copra as main raw material several supporting materials energy. outputs oil, pulp pellets, waste (liquid, solid, gas). total potential GHG emissions, acidification, eutrophi...

BACKGROUND The EQ-5D health-related quality of life instrument comprises a health state classification followed by a health evaluation using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D has been employed frequently in economic evaluations, yet the relationship between the two parts of the instrument remains ill-understood. In this paper, we examine the correspondence between VAS scores and health s...

OBJECTIVE To determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the health-utility measures EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D) and Quality of Well Being Self-Administered (QWB-SA) Scale in PTSD patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Two hundred patients aged 18 to 65 years with PTSD enrolled in a doubly randomized preference trial (DRPT) examining the treatment and treatment-preference...

INTRODUCTION A proxy version of the EQ-5D-Y, a questionnaire to evaluate the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents, has recently been developed. There are currently no data on the validity and reliability of this tool. The objective of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of the EQ-5D-Y proxy version. METHODOLOGY A core set of self-report tools, ...

Eq. (1) defines the distribution of a relation strength for irrelevant data entries φ. Eq. (2) defines an relation strength from the clsuter k to cluster l for relevant data entries. λi, i = 1, 2, . . . , N in Eq. (3) denotes the probability of a relevancy flag variable ri being 1. ri = {0, 1} in Eq. (4) indicates whether the object i is relevant or not. zi = k ∈ {1, 2, . . . } indicates the cl...
