The relative risks of total mortality comparing the extreme waist-hip ratio quintiles were 2.36 (95% CI, 1.71-3.27), 1.60 (95% CI, 1.10-2.34), and 1.46 (95% CI, 0.97-2.20) for women with a body mass index of less than 22.3, 22.3 to 25.1, and 25.2 or greater, respectively. ...

We identified our study population using the ICD-9 diagnostic codes for elective AAA (eAAA) (441.4) and ruptured AAA (rAAA) (441.3) and the ICD-9 procedural code for AAA repair (38.44) (when hospitals bill for procedures, an ICD-9 procedural code is used rather than a code from the ...
AAA: abdominal aortic aneurysm, ACEIs: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, ARBs: angiotensin receptor blockers, AF: atrial fibrillation, BMI: body mass index, CAD: coronary artery disease, CHF: congestive heart failure, CKD: chronic kidney disease, COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, C...
During this time, a specific ICD-9CM code (397.1) existed for endovascular aortic repair. Treatment by EVAR was independently predictive of decreased mortality on multivariate analysis for iAAA mortality. Based on these data, the limitation of access to endovascular technology observed for women (...
Figure 2. Odd ratios for chronic kidney disease according to body mass index (A) and waist circumference (B) in young adults. Adjusted for age, sex, low income (20%), diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, current smoker, alcohol consumption, regular exercise, and eGFR. Table 4. ...
The search criteria included the diagnosis (“aneurysm of the iliac artery”; ICD 10-“German modification” code: I72.3) and (in logical conjunction) the operation code for iliac branched devices (“operation and procedure keys” (OPS-) code: 5–38a.41). The study design and this ...
Positive and negative ion electrospray ionization was used to detect mass spectrometry (MS). The same amount of lipid extract from each sample was taken to be mixed and centrifuged to prepare the pooled quality control (QC) sample for data quality control in the untargeted lipidomics testing. ...
