1
A potential confound in previous studies of HIV-associated cognitive dysfunction is that HAART may be neurotoxic.
2
Acoustic noise generated by the MR scanner gradient system during fMRI studies of auditory function is a very significant potential confound.
3
Pertinent studies need to consider gender as a potential confound because of sexual dimorphism in the regulation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis activity.
4
Further, a major potential confound of prior in vivo studies is the possibility of different rates of clinical misdiagnosis for carriers vs. noncarriers.
5
Recommendations are provided for mitigating this potential confound, and highlight how the procedure may lead to more accurate measurement and comparison of anatomical features.
6
Information on smoking and potential confounding factors was collected by standardized interviews.
7
Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the potential confounding factors.
8
To exclude potential confounding effects of radiotherapy, no survivors had received this treatment.
9
We used propensity score matching to account for potential confounding characteristics of hospices.
10
Moreover, we investigated the influence of numerous potential confounding maternal and child factors.
11
To avoid potential confounding factors, we used propensity-score matching.
12
In addition, no studies assessed the potential confounding by viral hepatitis or Helicobacter pylori infection status.
13
We used gas chromatography to measure erythrocyte fatty acids and obtained data on potential confounding variables from interviewer-administered questionnaires.
14
Both models incorporated the matched strata as a random effect, while accounting for additional potential confounding factors with fixed effect covariates.
15
This work sheds light on potential confounding experimental interpretation when this congenic strain is used as a tool for tracking lymphocyte development.
16
Association between molecular subtypes and mode of detection will be evaluated by a logistic regression model adjusted for the potential confounding variables.
