To improve the positive predictive value of CLD diagnosis, we followed a previously validated algorithm where patients were required to have an additional ICD9/10 code for one of the common clinical presentations of CLD (e.g., esophageal varices). We identified a control cohort of patients with...
This retrospective cohort study (n = 11,156) included patients with at least two eGFR values < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 measured greater than 90-days apart and admitted to a tertiary hospital between 2014 and 2019. Dialysis and renal transplant patients were excluded. Adjusted odds ratios ...
height ≥ 44 inches and ≤ 90 inches, weight ≥ 55 pounds and ≤ 1000 pounds, and BMI ≥ 12 and ≤ 70 were considered plausible27. For children, plausible values for height, weight, and BMI were defined by z scores calculated from the percentile...
TSPO is a promising novel tracer target for positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging of brain tumors. However, due to the heterogeneity of cell populations that contribute to the TSPO-PET signal, imaging interpretation may be challenging. We therefore
Barplots (a) represent mean values ± SEM for behavior on the elevated plus-maze (EPM) for low anxiety (LA) (n = 44; white) and high anxiety (HA) (n = 56; black) participants for the parameters (from left to right): time on open arms, entries of open arms, latenc...
However, the high values of tumor marker CA- 125 (201 IU/L) were detected, while other tumor markers (Table 1) were negative. Table 1. Laboratory blood tests data of a patient before and after treatment. ParametersBefore treatmentAfter treatment Hemoglobin 137 g/dl 150 g/dL Red blood...
non-carriers (Figure 1; P-values for trend , 0.001). When combining these genotypes into 10 genotype combinations, there was a stepwise increase in levels of triglycerides of up to 56% (0.92 mmol/L) when carrying genotype combination 10 (GG CC CC) vs. genotype combination 1 (AA CC TT)...
The data were from inpatients aged 18–60years with a diagnosis of schizophrenia according to ICD‐10 at the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Nanjing Medical University who underwent physical examination between 1 October 2014 and 30 September 2016. A retrospective cohort study was used to analyse the ...
ICD-10 diagnostic code review and the use of relative medications. Laboratory examination results, including serum K+, creatinine, serum albumin, haemoglobin, and total CO2levels were reviewed, and the first measured level during index admission was defined as the baseline value. Laboratory values ...
PD + ICB patients were significantly more impulsive than the other two groups, with greatly elevated k values on the Kirby delay discounting questionnaire. This result is consistent with another recent study that used a different method to assess delay discounting over shorter timescales in PD ...
