Choi IJ, Kim YW, Lee HS, Ryu KW, Yoon HM, Eom BW, Kim CG, Lee JY, Cho SJ, Nam BH. Risk factors for TB in patients with early gastric cancer: Is gastrectomy a significant risk factor for TB? Chest 2015: 148(3): 774-783....
95% CI: 2.473, 13.431) were significant risk factors for empyema in pleural TB, while pulmonary TB (adjusted OR = 0.155, 95% CI: 0.072, 0.336) was the protective factor for the patients. TE remains a serious
As previously reported for this sample of older drivers,12 the presence of cataract is a risk factor for at-fault crash involvement (OR= 2.46; 95% CI, 1.00-6.16). To determine whether contrast sensitivity impairment is the mediator of this effect, the visual function models listed in Table ...
Second, the frequency of hospitalization was identified as a risk factor for surgery among children with pleural TB. In our study, the frequency of hospitalization was categorized and described as follows: once (n = 91), twice (n = 32), or more (n = 31). The risk increase...
Moreover, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection also identified a significant (OR = 14.6; 95% CI = 2.3–92.1; p = 0.004) predicting factor for MDR-TB in armed force members. However, sex, age and body mass index were not associated factor for MDR-TB. Conclusions: In AFRTH, ...
A key question is whether chronic exposure to BMAA constitutes a risk factor for human neurodegenerative diseases. One solution to protecting human populations from BMAA and its potential health consequences is to avoid exposure. National monitoring protocols in the USA would fall under the oversight ...
The same situation was also applied to the standard criteria for the TB hospitalized patients with HAIs and the strategy to deal with the confounding factors (see Additional file 1: Appendix 1) Meta-analyses of all the potential risk factor ORs Table 3 shows that a total of 11 risk factors...
did not adjust for trauma, and since this is a well documented risk factor it may have affected the results. The screening questions about physical activity at leisure used in our study were designed to evaluate the effect on cardiovascular disease, and they did not collect information regarding...
Antenatal dietary lifestyle intervention and nutrition during pregnancy and early postnatal life are important for appropriate lifelong metabolic programming. Epidemiological evidence underlines the crucial role of increased birth weight as a risk factor
Moreover, it should also be kept in mind that a history of prior biopsy could be a beneficial factor in reducing the pain experienced by patients. Further larger-scale prospective studies conducting manometric measurements are needed to obtain more objective findings. Conflicts of interest All ...
