Journal ArticleDOI
Critical evaluation of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for the assessment of the quality of nonrandomized studies in meta-analyses
TL;DR: The quality assessment of non-randomized studies is an important component of a thorough meta-analysis of non randomized studies and can dramatically influence the interpretation of meta-analyses, and can even reverse conclusions regarding the effectiveness of an intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary risk stratification, discrimination, and reclassification improvement based on quantification of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis: the Heinz Nixdorf Recall study.
Raimund Erbel,Stefan Möhlenkamp,Susanne Moebus,Axel Schmermund,Nils Lehmann,Andreas Stang,Nico Dragano,Dietrich Grönemeyer,Rainer Seibel,Hagen Kälsch,Martina Bröcker-Preuss,Klaus Mann,Johannes Siegrist,Karl-Heinz Jöckel +13 more
TL;DR: CAC scoring results in a high reclassification rate in the intermediate-risk cohort, demonstrating the benefit of imaging of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and supporting its application, especially in carefully selected individuals with intermediate risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of clinically silent atherosclerotic disease and established and novel risk factors for predicting myocardial infarction and cardiac death in healthy middle-aged subjects: Rationale and design of the Heinz Nixdorf RECALL Study
Axel Schmermund,Stefan Möhlenkamp,Andreas Stang,Dietrich Grönemeyer,Rainer Seibel,Herbert Hirche,Klaus Mann,Winfried Siffert,Karl W. Lauterbach,Johannes Siegrist,Karl-Heinz Jöckel,Raimund Erbel +11 more
TL;DR: The Heinz Nixdorf RECALL study will define appropriate methods for identifying high-risk subgroups in the general urban population who may derive the greatest benefit from preventive treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residential Exposure to Traffic Is Associated With Coronary Atherosclerosis
Barbara Hoffmann,Susanne Moebus,S Möhlenkamp,Andreas Stang,Nils Lehmann,Nico Dragano,Axel Schmermund,Michael Memmesheimer,Klaus Mann,Raimund Erbel,K. H. Jöckel +10 more
TL;DR: Long-term residential exposure to high traffic is associated with the degree of coronary atherosclerosis, and fine particulate matter exposure was associated with CAC only in subjects who had not been working full-time for at least 5 years.
