The prevalence of these forms of malnutrition is calculated bymeasuring the presence of malnutrition in a sample of the population selected randomly, then dividing the number of people with that form of malnutrition by the number of people in whom it was measured. Prevalence is often expressed as...
In adults, the commonly used formulas are the well-known Cockcroft Gault formula,1 the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula,2 and the more recently developed Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula.3 It is recognized that these formulas are not applicable to the pediatric ...
The current prevalence of GERD varies, ranging from 8 to 33%, and it is anticipated that this prevalence will continue to increase in the future [2]. The pharmaceutical approach to managing GERD focuses on reducing gastric acid secretion and preventing exposure of the esophagus to acid [3]. ...
prevalence of abnormal olfactory function post-work in the exposed group was higher than in the reference group. The findings of this study implied the ABS plastic injection-moulding process may worsen olfactory function among workers. Notably, this effect decreased olfactory threshold scores, not ...
For more than 50 years, infants with PKU have been identified by newborn screening [22]. The prevalence of PKU varies worldwide, with an average of 1:23,930 newborns. It is highest in European and certain Middle Eastern countries. In Europe, the prevalence ranges widely, from 1:4000 live...
The substudy analysis calculated estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) for patients enrolled in ARISTOTLE by three difference methods: the Cockcroft-Gault formula, the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration formula, and cystatin C measurement. Apixaban linked to fewer bleeds in AFib plus...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m~2 for three or more months. The prevalence of CKD increases with advancing age.~1 Because serum creati-nine is not an accurate measure for estimating renal function in elderly ...

Mortality rates are studied to know the prevalent causes of deaths among a population or a subgroup. Once identified, scientists could make the general public aware of the prevalence of potential pathogens, and thus, people could take necessary precautions. It also helps take a close look at the...
The time from birth (in months) was considered as a random effect in the model. Similarly, generalized linear model adjusted for breast-feeding status was used to assess the prevalence of various PCR amplicons between the two groups and trends over time. The statistical significant was set at ...
