Journal ArticleDOI
The usefulness of a predictive instrument to reduce inappropriate admissions to the coronary care unit.
Michael W. Pozen,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Janet B. Mitchell,David M. Rosenfeld,Joyce T. Guglielmino,Michael L. Schwartz,Nicholas Teebagy,Jeanette M. Valentine,William B. Hood +8 more
TL;DR: A mathematical instrument was developed to supplement the diagnostic information available to physicians in the emergency room to improve physicians' diagnostic accuracy in managing patients with acute ischemic heart disease and thereby reduce inappropriate coronary care unit admissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Variation in White Matter Hyperintensity Volume in the Framingham Study
Larry D. Atwood,Philip A. Wolf,Nancy L. Heard-Costa,Joseph M. Massaro,Alexa S. Beiser,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Charles DeCarli +6 more
TL;DR: The heritability of WMH remained high among individuals in whom the prevalence of cerebrovascular brain injury was generally low, suggesting that WMH is also likely to be an excellent genetic marker of brain aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Guidelines for Statistical Reporting in the Journal
David P. Harrington,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Constantine Gatsonis,Joseph W. Hogan,David J. Hunter,Sharon-Lise T. Normand,Jeffrey M. Drazen,Mary Beth Hamel +7 more
TL;DR: Some Journal readers may have noticed more parsimonious reporting of P values in research articles over the past year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative importance of borderline and elevated levels of coronary heart disease risk factors.
Ramachandran S. Vasan,Lisa M. Sullivan,Peter W.F. Wilson,Christopher T Sempos,Johan Sundström,William B. Kannel,Daniel Levy,Ralph B. D'Agostino +7 more
TL;DR: The absolute burden of CHD in the United States arising from borderline risk factors and elevated vascular risk factors is estimated by applying 10-year event rates from the Framingham Study to risk factor levels measured in a recent national probability sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes Using Simple Measures of Insulin Resistance: Combined Results From the San Antonio Heart Study, the Mexico City Diabetes Study, and the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study
Anthony J.G. Hanley,Kenneth C. Williams,Clicerio Gonzalez,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Lynne E. Wagenknecht,Michael P. Stern,Steven M. Haffner +6 more
TL;DR: Substantial differences are found between published IR indexes in the prediction of diabetes, with ISI(0,120) consistently showing the strongest prediction.
