Overall, the incidence rate for definite rupture was 5.3 ruptures/100 implants per year. In accordance with the findings of our previous prevalence study,4 we found that the rupture rate varied with implant age and generation. The newer low-bleed, third-generation implants were found to be ...
In clinical settings, microprolactinomas are approximately twofold more frequent than macroadenomas21,22, which contribute to the majority of incidence rate in female patients during the fertile period, not to mention that the true prevalence of microprolactinomas may be underestimated because many ...
Factors such as high dietary carbohydrate consumption could be associated with adverse effect prevalence and diabetes progression. However, confounders of metformin discontinuation due to adverse effects were likely different than those for metformin initiation, and our estimates for terminating metformin were...
The prevalence of admissions with adverse events were 9.0% of all admissions. Preventability of adverse events was found in 46 of admissions (40,4% of AEs). The adverse events caused on average a 7.0 days prolonged hospital stay. Most adverse events resulted in minor, transient disabilities. ...
(d) Outcomes: primary outcome indicators were the prevalence and incidence of NI, and secondary outcome indicators were ECMO survival, survival to hospital discharge, ECMO duration, ICU length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS, microorganism species causing ECMO-related NI, risk factors related to NI ...
no study has investigated the prevalence of or risk factors for PNO-DVT in inpatients with intertrochanteric fractures alone. Previous studies have reported several risk factors associated with the rate of DVT after hip fractures, including age, female sex, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, ...
Background Sex specific temporal trends in the incidence and prevalence of hospitalization for heart failure (HF), particularly in conjunction with reduced and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) remain unclear, especially in Asian general populations. Methods We conducted a community based...
Firstly, in developed nations with more rapid development and higher productivity, the prevalence of risk factors for RCC including smoking, obesity, physical inactivity and hypertension was higher7. Another explanation for the higher incidence could be attributed to the more liberal use of imaging ...
Various previous studies have documented a similar increased of biliary sludge formation and gallstones in patients post-HSCT.4,9,10,16 Wang et al reported a high prevalence rate of pre-existing gallstones in the adult population with acute pancreatitis compared with control (17.5% vs 0.8%), ...
