High impact information on Institutional Practice

Knowing the NNT for different interventions that have the same outcome for the same disorder can help shape individual and institutional practice [1].
Maintenance immunosuppression included tacrolimus and mycophenolate in all three arms, and methylprednisolone in groups A and C only (standard clinical institutional practice) [2].
SETTING--Subjects with CFS and subjects with MS were recruited from private and institutional practice and from the community [3].
Thirty-six women were studied, 15 controls (mean age, 28.80 +/- 5.47 years; body mass index, 25.85 +/- 6.73 kg/m(2)) and 21 with PCOS (mean age, 25.29 +/- 5.06 years; body mass index, 30.40 +/- 7.51 kg/m(2)) (University Hospital, Athens, Greece, institutional practice) [4].
METHODS: In an institutional practice setting, 60 eyes of 30 patients with low to moderate myopia were randomized to receive LASIK in one eye with the Technolas 217A; the other eye was treated with the VISX S3 [5].

Associations of Institutional Practice with chemical compounds

Institutional practices varied widely for positioning the catheter tip, use of heparin, and types of infusates, as did the frequency of adverse events that prompted removal of the UAC [6].

Gene context of Institutional Practice

METHODS: In an institutional practice setting, two women, aged 25 and 45, developed acute myopia after starting topiramate for epilepsy [7].
SETTING: Data drawn from the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems. Institutional practice and general community [8].
