During the peak of the pandemic, the median percentage of beds with COVID-19 patients was 32.8% (IQR, 18.7%-41.5%%) (eTable 1 and eFigure 2 in Supplement 2). Baseline Characteristics The 2 groups were well matched with respect to baseline characteristics (Table 1 and eTable 2 in ...
We genotyped 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ECE1 gene in 1,873 indi- viduals from a general Japanese population and identified one SNP associated with hypertension in women (rs212528: TT vs. TC+CC: odds ratio =1.40; 95% confidence intervals: 1.04–1.89; p =0.026), ...
Thus, we sought to find a similar association of SLCO1B1 521T > C with the enalapril-induced cough. In the current study, strong evidence was indeed found for a gene-dose effect: the percentage of coughers increased with the increasing numbers of SLCO1B1 521T > C ...
Even after controlling for many observable characteristics, women were less likely to have ACEI/ARB prescriptions. The adjusted odds ratio was 0.82 with 95% CI = 0.77, 0.87. Nearly one third of the 7 percentage point gap in prescription drug use was explained by variables included in the ...
(p< 0.001) was also more likely in these patients with COVID-19. Interestingly, a lower percentage of patients with drug allergies was discovered among patients with serious, critical disease and severe COVID-19. From the disease origin perspective, COVID-19 disease types were not significantly...
small number of included studies, we assumed the heterogeneity by usingI2, i.e., the percentage of the variability [27]. If theI2value was over 50%, indicating significant heterogeneity between studies, we selected a random-effect model. If under 50%, we selected a fixed-effect model for...
