| This new framework aims to be flexible and not proscriptive, but promotes comparability. |
| Any measure of geographical variation or time trends needs to ensure comparability of numerator and denominator data. |
| It was of special importance that staff in each section be counted in a uniform manner to ensure comparability of results. |
| To optimise the comparability of the data, we reanalysed original data sources and we reclassified the data according to standard specifications. |
| But further analysis, and improvement in reporting and comparability, are clearly desirable. |
| When the comparability values for the samples are plotted in descending order, we can detect significant changes in the slope of the graph. |
