The appendix (pp 29–193) provides the ICD codes for these disease categories as well as the distribution of infections (pp 194–298). Ascertainment of incident dementia after exposure to infection In the primary cohort, we retrieved diagnoses of incident dementia from four sources: hospital ...
Men typically engage in outdoor activities or work in rural areas more frequently than women do, which increases their likelihood of encountering vector insects that transmit Chagas disease, such as triatomine bugs. This higher exposure rate may lead to a higher infection rate among men, thereby...
But the confidence intervals were Four fold rise in paired sera should be demonstrated to confirm the disease [6,9]. It was difficult to get down the patients for a second convalescent sample as they didn't return for follow up once discharged. We had to be con- fined to use the acute...
Daily mortality counts for all deaths in New York City from 2006 to 2012 were aggregated for all cardiovascular causes (ICD-10 codes I00-I99), which included ischemic heart disease (IHD) (ICD-10 codes I20-I25), myocardial infarction (ICD-10 code I21), stroke (ICD-10 codes I61-I64)...

Second, other residual confounding factors, such as genetic background, dietary habits, smoking, alcohol and coffee consumption, and pesticide exposure, which could affect neurodegenerative disease risk, are also not included in the NHIRD. As the NHIRD lacks imaging and laboratory data, we relied ...
The eye is susceptible to infections caused by a bewildering spectrum of organisms, from prions [1] to arthropods [2] (Table1). Pathology may be restricted to the ocular tissues, or manifest in the eye as part of a systemic infectious disease, with impact ranging from minor nuisance to sig...

ICD-10 codes related to infections were selected based on an evaluation of codes used in previous studies (Appendix 1). The infectious disease codes were grouped as upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), gastrointestinal infections ...
For its part, acquired infections in humans are usually asymptomatic, but in some infected persons cervical lymphadenopathy or ocular disease may occur [1,3]. Acquired T. gondii infection in immunocom- petent patients may also cause central nervous system manifestations as Guillain-Barré syndrome [...
