prepare an abstract of no more than 255 words under the following headings: Objective, Method, Results, and Conclusions. Headings should not appear in the abstract text; each section must be entered into its corresponding text field. Abstracts without data or in which ‘data is to be collected’ or ‘results are expected to show’ cannot be accepted. The first time an abbreviation and/or acronym appears in the abstract, it must be written out in full. 1. Objective: The abstract should begin with a clear statement of the precise objective or question addressed in the report. If more than one objective is addressed, the main objective should be indicated and only key secondary objectives stated. If an a priori hypothesis was tested, it should be stated. 2. Method: The basic design of the study should be described, including participants/setting and variables/measures. Participants/Setting. The number of participants and how they were selected should be provided. The clinical disorders and key socio-demographic features of participants should be stated. Selection procedures, entry criteria, and the number of participants entering and finishing the study may also be included. To assist readers in determining the applicability of the report to their own clinical circumstances, the study setting(s) may be described. Consider whether the setting is the general community, a primary care or referral center, private or institutional practice, ambulatory or hospitalized care. Variables/Measure(s). Describe the design of the study. The primary study variables and instruments should be clearly explained. 3. Results: The main results of the study should be given. When possible, the results should be accompanied by confidence intervals (for example, 95%) and the level of statistical significance. Abstracts without data or for which “data is to be collected” or “results are expected to show” cannot be accepted. 4. Conclusion(s): Only those conclusions of the study that are directly supported by the evidence reported should be given. Equal emphasis should be given to positive and negative findings of equal scientific merit. If clinical applications are described, avoid speculation and over-generalization and indicate whether additional study is required before the information should be used in usual clinical settings. clean up the abstract i uploaded by rewording it completely and sight the references and then create a summary of the sections of the overall paper in bullet point form please pulling the most important point.
