Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Sample Clauses

The Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria clause defines the specific conditions or characteristics that determine who or what is eligible to participate in a study, project, or agreement, as well as who or what is not permitted. Practically, this clause lists the qualifications, such as age range, health status, or other relevant factors, that participants must meet to be included, and outlines disqualifying factors, such as pre-existing conditions or conflicting obligations. Its core function is to ensure that only appropriate and relevant subjects or items are involved, thereby maintaining the integrity and validity of the process or study.

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. All patients with chronic angioedema, i.e. recurrent swelling attacks for longer than 6 weeks, can be enrolled/recorded in the registry, if a written, dated and signed informed consent is available. The data for CARE are collected from the real-life management situation in clinical practice (observational approach). As children and adolescents (minors) can also be affected by chronic angioedema, it makes sense to not exclude these patient groups from participation. Before including patient data into the registry, a dated and signed written informed consent by the patient or the parent / legal guardian (i.e. the legal authorized representative - LAR) must be available.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Neither OPKO nor any of its Representatives will provide a waiver for any exclusion or inclusion criteria related to a Trial as specified in the Development Plan. Any changes to the exclusion or inclusion criteria will be subject to an amendment to the Development Plan to be approved by the JDC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. CRO will not waive any exclusion or inclusion criteria specified in the Protocol, and shall require that no Clinical Investigator or Site do so.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. This review was conducted in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) standard (Moher et al. 2009) where applicable. Risk bias was not considered in this review. The initial search carried out in 2018 used Medline, a bibliographic database of life sciences and biomedical information from academic journals covering medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and health care. Medline provides an advanced search capacity covering over 23 million article references. It also uses Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and spans over 50 years. This initial search extracted articles published within the preceding five years (2013-2018) in order to cover the most up-to-date evidence in the area. The following inclusion criteria were applied in the search: 1) Studies of people with psychosis, SMI, schizophrenia, bipolar and major depressive disorder) defined using structured interviews or clinical diagnostic schedules (e.g., DSM, ICD criteria) 2) Studies that were prospective or cohort study designs 3) Studies that measured diabetes (known diagnosis or an HbA1c of 48mmol/mol (6.5%)) or glucose dysregulation (42–47 mmol/mol (6.0–6.4%) (Diabetes UK 2020). Diabetes ‘known diagnosis’ included recorded ICD codes, self-report, records in medical notes/insurance databases or defined by use of diabetic medication (from medical notes or interview). 4) English-language articles. 5) Studies defining mental disorder by diagnosis – i.e., not including studies which defined or characterised cohorts on medication receipt (e.g. antipsychotics) alone. 6) Studies could include diabetes medication 7) Diabetes outcomes of interest could include diabetes management and any subsequent health outcome such as cardiovascular disease or resulting in hospital admission. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses that report outcome of interest were also extracted, although primarily as sources of references to original research, and to illustrate other relevant reviews in the field. All age groups were included. The following exclusion criteria were applied in the search and extraction: 1) Duplicates. 2) Studies of GDM specifically. 3) Studies of T1DM only (studies were included if they were looking at both types or did not distinguish them). 4) Studies of other mental disorders in isolation or if not mentioned alongside the disorders specified.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. 3.5.1 Opportunistic screening of asymptomatic young people for chlamydia and gonorrhoea
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Inclusion criteria for participants were as follows: • Aged 18-80 years • Living independently in the community or living at home for younger participants • No history of head injury or other neurological or major psychiatric disorder • Not currently depressed or anxious. Participants with a history of depression or anxiety or those currently on medication but not symptomatic were included. • No current alcohol or substance use problems • Adequate vision and hearing to complete the tests • English spoken fluently Exclusion criteria: • Participants who had sustained a head injury resulting in loss of consciousness of longer than 5 minutes, requiring treatment, or with a diagnosis of post- concussion syndrome • Participants whose daily functioning had been impaired because of a head injury • Participants with a diagnosis of a major psychiatric disorder (e.g. bipolar affective disorder or schizophrenia) • Participants with a diagnosis of a neurological condition (e.g. dementia, stroke, multiple sclerosis)
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. We included 1. All observational studies that present information on pregnant women’s fish intake and its effect on cognitive abilities of their offspring (including general cognitive abilities, IQ, motor skills, language, memory, reasoning) 2. All RCTs that investigated the effects of fish oil supplementation during pregnancy on child cognitive abilities (including general cognitive abilities, IQ, motor skills, language, memory, and reasoning) We excluded 1. Studies reporting further offspring supplementation, and physical (but not mental) development 2. Studies not written in the English language 3. Studies not reporting cognitive outcomes
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Inclusion criteria: All admissions to adolescent inpatient units across the trust were eligible for the study. Inclusion criteria therefore matched those of the inpatient service, which were young people aged between 12 and 18, in need of acute mental health care. Exclusion criteria: Adolescents thought by the clinical and/or research team to be unable to give consent due to severity of symptoms or other unrelated difficulties such as severe learning difficulties were excluded from the study. Adolescents under 16 with extremely difficult family circumstances, where it was thought that contact with the family to obtain parental consent would exacerbate the young person’s social difficulties were also excluded. Young people who were not able to converse in English were able to take part providing the ▇▇▇▇ could access an interpreter. Excluded participants were kept under review with the clinical team in case the situation changed and participation became possible.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. All patients have a baseline stress perfusion CMR scan and further management will depend on whether they have been randomised to the MR-INFORMED or the FFR-INFORMED arm of the trial. In addition, all patients receive optimal medical therapy.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Papers for the review were selected on the basis of being empirical studies in mental health nursing and adult nursing, focusing on the meaning of compassion and compassionate care, facilitators and barriers to the delivery of compassionate care including compassion fatigue. Research papers that explored the views of patients, carers, nurses, healthcare assistants and other healthcare professionals in the clinical setting about compassionate care were also included. Studies conducted in primary care, midwifery, paediatric and child and adolescent mental health clinical settings were excluded because primary care settings deal with community patients, whereas acute mental health settings work with patients with severe mental health problems requiring inpatient care, and the experiences of both client groups could be different. Additionally, midwifery settings deal with women experiencing childbearing as a normal physiological process and paediatric and child and adolescent mental health settings deal with children. As the study participants were adults receiving inpatient care, it was felt that studies from paediatric and child and adolescent mental health settings would be different and were therefore excluded. Studies which focused mainly on empathy, self-compassion, mindfulness and compassion-focused psychotherapy for patients were also excluded. These studies tend to focus on techniques for self-compassion rather than perceptions about the meaning of compassion (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2006; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2009). Whilst empathy may be related to compassion, it does not reflect the full meaning of compassion (Chochinov, 2007; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2009; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al, 2014; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al, 2016) and therefore studies focusing mainly on empathy may not provide findings that reflect the concept of compassion or compassionate care. Anecdotal materials, commentaries, editorials and letters were also excluded. A summary of the inclusion and exclusion criteria is shown in Figure 1. Empirical studies in mental health nursing and adult nursing settings involving service users, patients, carers, registered nurses and healthcare assistants focusing on: • Meaning of compassion/compassionate care; • Facilitators and barriers to compassionate care and • Processes to embed compassionate care Empirical studies on primary care, midwifery, paediatric care and child and adolescent mental health. empirical studies on compassion fatigue and burnout in relation to the delivery of com...
