Vitamin D (calciferol) supplementation has a favorable impact on insulin sensitivity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, obesity, and hypertension [21]. Low vitamin D status is a frequent finding in postmenopausal women [22]. This means that many postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes, metabolic ...
Misclassification bias may thus become an issue if those diagnosis codes have not been properly validated. Although large data sets could potentially overcome this problem, the real impact of the incorrect coding awaits further elucidation [36]. A limitation of our study is that database-driven ...
ICD-10-CM codes were drawn over a 2-year period because of evidence that a 2-year lookback improves diagnosis capture compared with a 1-year lookback.29 Statistical Analysis Basic descriptive statistics were reviewed for all variables. In comparing patients with last vitamin D levels that were...
15 Cancer cases were defined as International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Related Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes C00-D09 or cancer deaths. The primary outcome was the time to first cancer reported for all defined malignant neoplasms from the time of ...
A systematic review of the electronic medical record generated a patient list with the diagnosis codes for RA, SLE, osteoarthritis (OA) and Fibromyalgia. Vitamin D levels were characterised as follows: deficiency (30 ng/ml). A total of 115 patents were included, and, SAS9.3 statistical tool ...
Vitamin D’s Role in Reproduction The human reproductive system comprises billions of cells. Every cell in the female and male reproductive systems contains genetic codes as well as a receptor to receive vitamin D. Vitamin D is actually a steroid hormone produced by our body. We manufacture vita...
(OH)D affects expression of vitamin D-responsive genes by modulating levels of active 1,25(OH)2D in lung tissue, and that variants in candidate genes directly regulated by 1,25(OH)2D in lung tissue are associated with FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, the key parameters used for COPD diagnosis and ...
For the discovery analyses, summary genetic association data for CAVS was extracted from Freeze 9 of the FinnGen Consortium, involving 9153 cases and 368,124 controls of European ancestry46. CAVS cases were defined as participants with a diagnosis code of ICD-9 424.1, ICD-10 I35.0 or I35.2,...

(3) masking the early manifestations of vitamin B12 deficiency leading to damage to the nervous system. Since most patients with megaloblastic anemia have vitamin B12 deficiency, excessive folic acid intake interferes with the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency, potentially leading to severe irreversible...
