Last, we repeated our analytical approach for two non-fatal endpoints: transfer to intensive care unit (ICU) and 30-day hospital readmission rates among those discharged home. All analyses were carried out using SAS version 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA)....
Average rates of successfully passing motor skill tests varied from 20% to 80%, depending on the test type and children's age (Table 2). Average gross motor skills were higher in 5-6 year-old than in 4 year-old children. Girls were on average more successful than boys in passing the ...
Naturally, the cumulative incidence rate of new-onset hypertension increased with age (the rates for age < 40 and 40–60 were 12.39% and 19.33%, respectively). The highest incidence of new-onset hypertension was 28.92% (188/650) in people > 60 years old, and the risk of ...
Overall, incidence rates of overweight have increased 2-fold and obesity more than 3-fold over the past 50 years (1). The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2003 to 2004 found that 33.1% and 32.2% of Americans were overweight and obese, respectively (2). Similarly, the ...
