Mortality rates, per 10,000 dog-years at risk (DYAR), developed using Cox regression for six higher-risk breeds. Shown are mortality rates for total and diagnostic mortality, as well as for the categories tumours, trauma, locomotor problems and heart. Note that scales differ between breeds. ...
Populations living in Western China, people aged 15–69 years, and male may suffer more injury mortality burden from increased temperature caused by climate change. Our findings may be informative for public health policy development to effectively adapt to climate change....
Fertility RateI develop and demonstrate a simple formula for estimating age-specific event rates for a period from "before" and "after" cross sections. The general approach applies to a wide range of estimation problems in demography, the social sciences, and epidemiology. The method arises from...
Usefulness of aortic root dimension in persons 4 or 65 years of age in predicting heart failure, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality and acute myocardial infarction (from the Cardiovascular Health Study). Am J Cardiol 2006; 97: 270–275. 3 Kim M, Roman MJ, Cavallini MC, ...
However, the mortality rate of CVD has increased significantly during the last 2 decades and CVD is still the top cause of human death in China [18]. There is a large gap between medical/public health actions and effective prophylaxis of CVD in China. Perinatal and postnatal exposure to ...
For the Silver-throated Tits, it is likely that the young birds need to generate more heat to maintain a higher body temperature but have a worse ability of foraging than the older birds, thereby experience a higher mortality rate in winter. However, we did not detect that the winters ...
within a short sequence (145 bp) using A549 lung cancer cell line as a part of massively parallel reporter assays (“Methods”). The results demonstrated that one variant displayed significant allelic transcriptional activity at false discovery rate (FDR) < 1% with the lung cancer risk-...
The excess mortality of the cancer patients is the difference between the total mortality rate and the expected mortality rate. In the first month in Table 7, it is 43.3/1000 person-months = 52.0/100 person-years. In the ninth month, the total mortality is 14.7/1000 person-months a...
High grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) accounts for ~ 70% of ovarian cancer cases. Non-invasive, highly specific blood-based tests for pre-symptomatic screening in women are crucial to reducing the mortality associated with this disease. Since
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The effect of socioeconomic factors on cause-specific mortality and burden of CVD is rarely evaluated in low- and middle-income countries, especially in a rapidly changing society.
