Assessment of Classification Approaches and Statistics Sample Clauses

Assessment of Classification Approaches and Statistics. ‌ The ability of the AV sum to differentiate the clinically designated BH4 responses and the genetic basis of responsiveness were simultaneously assessed, as outlined in Figure 5-1. Patients were first dichotomized into “true responder” and “true non-responder” groups based on the clinical response classification described in Section 5.2.1 and Table 5-1. Due to the clinical ambiguity of the provisional responder group, two iterations were evaluated: (1) provisional responders were classified with the definitive responders in a single “true responder” group and (2) provisional responders were classified with the non-responders in a single “true non-responder” group. Patients were then classified by their AV sum. Patients with an AV sum >2 were classified “AV sum responders”; those with an AV sum=2 were classified as “AV sum non-responders.” This threshold was selected, as an AV sum of 2 represents a severe genotype with limited to no molecular basis for responsiveness. Patients with the indefinite AV sum of ≥2 were obligate “AV sum non-responders,” since an AV sum above 2 could not definitively be assigned. Since obligate AV sum non-responders have the potential to bias the analysis, results are presented both with and without these patients. To quantify the ability of AV sum to classify BH4 response, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated. Patients with an unclassified BH4 response, while presented in the descriptive and summary statistics, were excluded from this portion of the analysis.

If the local Union challenges the rate, it shall have the right to request a meeting with the Hospital to endeavour to negotiate a mutually satisfactory rate. Such request will be made within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice from the Hospital of such new occupational classification and rate. Any change mutually agreed to resulting from such meeting shall be retroactive to the date that notice of the new rate was given by the Hospital. If the parties are unable to agree, the dispute concerning the new rate may be submitted to arbitration as provided in the Agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting.
