Sleep-disordered breathing and mortality: A prospective cohort study
Naresh M. Punjabi,Brian Caffo,James L. Goodwin,Daniel J. Gottlieb,Anne B. Newman,George T. O'Connor,David M. Rapoport,Susan Redline,Helaine E. Resnick,John A Robbins,Eyal Shahar,Mark Unruh,Jonathan M. Samet +12 more
TL;DR: In a cohort of 6,441 volunteers followed over an average of 8.2 years, Naresh Punjabi and colleagues find sleep-disordered breathing to be independently associated with mortality and identify predictive characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dorry L. Segev,Abimereki D. Muzaale,Brian Caffo,Shruti H. Mehta,Andrew L. Singer,Sarah E Taranto,Maureen A. McBride,Robert A. Montgomery +7 more
TL;DR: Among a cohort of live kidney donors compared with a healthy matched cohort, the mortality rate was not significantly increased after a median of 6.3 years, and long-term risk of death was no higher for live donors than for age- and comorbidity-matched NHANES III participants for all patients and also stratified by age, sex, and race.
Teacher's Corner Simple and Effective Confidence Intervals for Proportions and Differences of Proportions Result from Adding Two Successes and Two Failures
Alan Agresti,Brian Caffo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, simple adjustments of these confidence intervals based on adding four pseudo observations, half of each type, perform surprisingly well even for small samples, and one can bypass awkward sample size guidelines and use the same formulas with small and large samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased connectivity and cerebellar activity in autism during motor task performance
Stewart H. Mostofsky,Stephanie K. Powell,Daniel J. Simmonds,Melissa C. Goldberg,Melissa C. Goldberg,Brian Caffo,James J. Pekar,James J. Pekar +7 more
TL;DR: The between-group dissociation of cerebral and cerebellar motor activation represents the first neuroimaging data of motor dysfunction in children with autism, providing insight into potentially abnormal circuits impacting development.

Simple and Effective Confidence Intervals for Proportions and Differences of Proportions Result from Adding Two Successes and Two Failures
Alan Agresti,Brian Caffo +1 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that simple adjustments of the standard confidence intervals based on adding four pseudo observations, half of each type, perform surprisingly well even for small samples, and used the same formulas with small and large samples in teaching with these adjusted intervals.
