The relative risk (RR) was calculated as the incidence rate of prostate cancer among men in a specific category of ejaculation frequency divided by the rate among a common reference group with adjustment for age. We used the category of 4 to 7 ejaculations per month as the common reference ...
Supplier Security Requirements for ICT Products and Services:Establish clear security requirements for suppliers of ICT products or services. Guidelines should include provisions for secure coding practices, vulnerability assessments, and, ideally, penetration testing. Vetting and Approval Process for ICT...
Propensity score matching permits adjustment for a large number of potential confounders, which is particularly important in this study owing to the potential for confounding by indication; ie, patients being prescribed different medications for psoriasis may have different comorbidities or other ...
p-values are derived from two-sided Student’s t-test; no adjustment was performed for multiple hypotheses. (f) Genome-wide copy number estimation of normal and tumor single cells in RCMB56-ht. The ecDNA+ tumor cell cluster is distinguished by gain of chr1 at the amp1 locus, gain of ...
In contrast to our review, the present analysis found that risk of reporting symptoms at ≥12 weeks after infection increased along a gradient of decreasing age in our cohort. This could partly be due to the adjustment for an extensive range of comorbidities or the differences in the populations...

Adjustment was made for comorbidity by simulating 40,000 individuals in each age-sex-country-year exposed to the independent probability of acquiring conditions based on their prevalence. The 95% UIs reported for each estimate used 1,000 draws from the posterior distribution of models, reported as...
Additional adjustment for physical activity did not alter the findings: HR = 1.00 (95% CI 0.94–1.06) and 1.41 (95% CI 1.27–1.56) for eGFRcr-cys 60–89 and < 60 ml/min/1.73m2, respectively, compared to ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73m2; higher level of physical activity was ...
Understanding how to create PRS that is robust to population adjustment will be crucial to creating a PRS that is generally applicable to diverse populations. Moreover, while many methods are being developed to ensure PRS has comparable risk prediction performance across ancestry [49], few have ...
The main exposure in the model was the presence or absence of diabetes at CRC diagnosis and adjustment was made for the above covariates (Model 1), and additionally for CRC stage at diagnosis (Model 2). CRC-specific mortality was examined using multivariable cause-specific hazards regression, ...
