contingency tables and multivariable generalized linear models. Results Fifteen of the 23 screened POP s were detected in the breast milk samples. Four organochlorine compounds (p,p′- DDT, p,p′- DDE, HCB and β- ...
How can we monitor the impact of national health information systems? Results from a scoping review.
setting. Conclusions: We developed a new model, the HI-Impact framework, in which four domains are essential for mapping the impact of national HI systems: (i) HI Evidence Quality, (ii) HI System ...
