Does validity of self-reported hospital admissions in clinical trials depend on recall period length and individual characteristics?
The bias within one year was not influenced by applying various recall periods, although the probability of correctly self-reported single hospital admission was higher using a recall period of three months. It can be recommended that lengthened recall periods of 12 months are appropriate for gathering self-reported hospital admission data in elderly people with myocardial infarction.
This study presents for the first time data on glutamine intake in preterm and term neonates fed human milk. With these data, it is possible to formulate adequately composed nutritional therapy for infants at risk of glutamine imbalance.
