When a continuous variable (such as pain) is measured in a variety of ways across studies (using different scales), it may prove impossible to compare or combine the study results in a meta-analysis.

The Patented Medicine Prices Review Board(PMPRB) maintains the Patented Medicine Price Index(PMPI). It is an index of the manufacturers’ prices for patented drugs that are reported annually to the PMPRB. The PMPI measures the average change from the previous year in the actual prices of all patented drugs sold in Canada. The index shows that the rise in patented drug prices has been less than the rise in the Consumer Price Index(CPI) in each year but one since 1987. 1, record 3, English, - Patented%20Medicine%20Price%20Index

Il s'agit d'un indice des prix départ-usine des médicaments brevetés qui font l'objet d'un rapport annuel du CEPMB. L'Indice des prix des médicaments brevetés mesure la variation moyenne par rapport à l'année précédente des prix réels des médicaments brevetés vendus au Canada.

While the technology behind cookies is fairly simple, the implications behind their use are increasingly complicated and far-reaching. Firstly, the technology is not well understood resulting in widespread confusion about why and how they are used. Secondly, since cookies have the ability to store or index personal information, their use can carry legal implications in terms of privacy far more serious than most people realize. Thirdly, cookies can pose a security risk if not used correctly. 1, record 4, English, - Cookie%20Guidelines

Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada. Un témoin est un petit fichier texte placé dans l'ordinateur d'un visiteur par un site Web dans le but de mémoriser de l'information. La technologie utilisée est relativement simple; toutefois, les incidences de l'utilisation des témoins se révèlent de plus en plus complexes et profondes. Dans un premier temps, on ne comprend pas bien la technologie, ce qui ne fait qu'augmenter la confusion quant aux raisons et à la façon de les utiliser. Deuxièmement, les témoins peuvent emmagasiner ou indexer des données personnelles, ce qui, au plan de la confidentialité, peut avoir des conséquences juridiques beaucoup plus graves que ne le croit la majorité. Troisièmement, les témoins peuvent parfois poser un risque pour la sécurité s'ils ne sont pas utilisés correctement. 1, record 4, French, - Lignes%20directrices%20concernant%20les%20t%C3%A9moins
