A Logistic Regression Model When Some Events Precede Treatment: The Effect of Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction on the Risk of Cardiac Arrest

Christopher H. Schmid, +5 more
- 01 Nov 1997 - 
TL;DR: The method is applied to develop a model to predict the probability that a patient with a myocardial infarction will have a sudden cardiac arrest within 48 hours of presentation to emergency medical services both when treated with thrombolysis and when not treated.
Book ChapterDOI

Optimal Identification of the Patient with Acute Myocardial Ischemia in the Emergency Room

Harry P. Selker, +2 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews studies that have attempted to optimize AIHD diagnostic accuracy in the ER setting and suggests that even a modest improvement in admitting practices would yield substantial savings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global risk assessment for cardiovascular disease and astute clinical judgement.

Charles H. Hennekens, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Framingham (from the United States) and PROCAM (from Germany) risk functions overestimated the absolute risk of coronary heart disease in middle aged men from Belfast (with moderate risk) and France (with low risk).
Journal ArticleDOI

Compliance with expert population-based dietary guidelines and lower odds of carotid atherosclerosis in women: the Framingham Nutrition Studies

Barbara E. Millen, +7 more
- 01 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: Nutrient intake consistent with current expert population-based dietary guidelines and smoking abstinence are associated with lower odds of carotid atherosclerosis in women, suggesting areas for targeted primary CAD prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Adjuvant Bordetella Colonization Factor A Attenuates Alum-Induced Th2 Responses and Enhances Bordetella pertussis Clearance from Mouse Lungs.

Jamie Jennings-Gee, +7 more
- 22 May 2018 - 
TL;DR: BcfA improves aPV-induced responses by modifying the alum-induced Th2-biased aPVs response toward Th1/Th17, which may allow better control of pertussis reemergence by reshaping immune responses to resemble those elicited by wPV immunization.
