Full details on the ascertainment of death have been described in detail previously10. Briefly, in most cases, deaths were identified during the course of routine trial activity, by review of health records, or by the next of kin or close contact who notified the trial centre. In all cases,...
We performed subgroup analysis for each outcome (IHDs, CbVDs including ischemic and hemorrhagic CbVD, and all-cause deaths). The outcome-free survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. The HRs and 95% CIs for each outcome were calculated using the Cox proportional hazards ...
Let’s contrast this with England. We have a longer time series of all cause deaths (ONS data; available when I downloaded it Monday only through the end of January). Same periodicity is there, with the quirk (it’s real) that deaths plummet, or are recorded as plummeting, right at Ch...
Over a median follow-up of 107 months, 1201 all-cause deaths occurred, including 398 cardiovascular disease-related deaths. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model showed a positive association between the TyG index and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Each one-unit increase ...
There were 162 deaths during 4,161 person-years of observation; the multivariable-adjusted HR for all-cause mortality in the CRP ≥ 0.1 mg/dL group was 1.86 (95% CI, 1.32–2.62); P < 0.001. In 577 individuals with median (IQR) fish intake of 39.3 g/1000 kcal (23.6–57.6)...
Mortality Incidence Ratios and Excess Deaths Based on Low-Wage History View LargeDownload aTotal sample size for each group. bDeaths per 10 000 person-years was computed by dividing the number of deaths by the total person-years for a given row and then multiplying by 10 000. c...
However, many studies use a general population denominator in the calculation of mortality and identify deaths due to diabetes using diabetes-specific International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes on death certificates,4 rather than ascertaining mortality among people with verified diabetes status. ...
121 Although maternal and newborn deaths have declined substantially in the past two decades, thanks in part to more women giving birth in health facilities,122 gaps in the coverage, content, and quality of key services persist. Need for services Pregnancy and delivery should be welcome events,...
Protein biomarkers are associated with mortality in cardiovascular disease, but their effect on predicting respiratory and all-cause mortality is not clear. We tested whether a protein risk score (protRS) can improve prediction of all-cause mortality over clinical risk factors in smokers. We utilized...
Using the same data source, we extend this analysis to estimate parental age effects on cause-specific mortality and consider further the various causal and non-causal links behind crude parental age-mortality associations. Results There were 293,470 deaths during 97,608,449 person-years of follow...
