In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, when compared to the never-smoker group, the smoking quitter, sustained smoker, and new smoker groups were significantly associated with the deve
After adjusting for established and potential confounders, compared with women who never worked rotating night shifts, the odds of achieving healthy aging decreased significantly with increasing duration of night shift work. The odds ratios were 0.96 (95% CI, 0.89-1.03) for 1 to 5 years, 0.92 ...
Few moderators could be tested in meta-regression analysis due to the limited number of independent datasets. Mean age (p = 0.06) and treatment duration (p = 0.10) did not appear to moderate the overall effect of antidepressants on depressive symptoms. Subgroup analysis suggested that ...
Descriptive analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between baseline variables and readmission status. Logistic regression models were developed to determine whether the bivariate associations identified persisted after adjusting for patient characteristics. Results: Of the 4,262 patients who ...
A multilevel, multivariate logistic regression model, with US Census Bureau geographic region included as a random intercept, was estimated to examine differences in persistent opioid use between surgical types while controlling for patient characteristics, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, ...
Using logistic regression, adjusted odds ratios were calculated to estimate the strength of association between asthma control and those variables that were significant in the bivariate analysis at P≤ 0.05. Based on preliminary analyses, adjustment variables were: age, gender, race/ethnicity, and ...
Stages of Acute Kidney Injury Predict the Development of Acute Kidney Disease in a Graded Manner Although the stages of AKI have distinct definitions, the guidelines state they are not explicitly graded (ie, higher stages of AKI do not necessarily predict worse outcomes). After adjusting for age...
Survival was examined using competing risk regression to compute subhazard ratios (SHRs) with 95%CIs. Results: Of the 301,356 cases, 2517 (0.84%) identified as Aboriginal (0.94% after imputation). After adjusting for age, sex, year of diagnosis, socio-economic status, remoteness, and cancer...
In this study, patients were stratified according to the number of individual OMT agents at 5 years; the 10-year all-cause mortality was compared between patients on OMT (4 types of medications) and those on 3 or ≤2 types of medications using the unadjusted and adjusted Cox regression ...
Note.Model 1: Univariate Cox Model analyses; Model 2: Adding age, gender variables to be adjusted; Model 3: Model 2+previous PCI (Using stepwise regression, entry probability = 0.05, deletion probability = 0.10, age, gender and LOG NT-proBNP were forcedly introduced; and screening of BMI,...
