TL;DR: A genome-wide association scan for sequence variants affecting eosinophil counts in blood of 9,392 Icelanders found that a nonsynonymous SNP at 12q24, in SH2B3, associated significantly with myocardial infarction in six different populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Snoring, Apneic Episodes, and Nocturnal Hypoxemia Among Children 6 Months to 6 Years Old: An Epidemiologic Study of Lower Limit of Prevalence
TL;DR: Among children, symptoms such as snoring and apneic episodes are reported relatively seldom, but a high proportion of the children with these symptoms have hypoxic respiratory events, and a lower limit of the sleep apnea syndrome prevalence among preschool children is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basic Nordic Sleep Questionnaire (BNSQ): a quantitated measure of subjective sleep complaints.
TL;DR: There is a need for uniform methods to know the prevalence and incidence of sleep disorders, judged using the same criteria, and also the severity of each problem, i.e. how often a problem or a symptom happens/occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome among Swedish men—an epidemiological study
TL;DR: The prevalence of the sleep apnea syndrome among Swedish men 30-69 years old was estimated by a two-stage procedure and the lower limit of the prevalence was estimated to be as high as 1.3%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for rehospitalisation in COPD: role of health status, anxiety and depression

TL;DR: In patients with low health status, anxiety is an important risk factor for rehospitalisation, and the closest relation between the risk of re Hospitalisation and activity scale was seen with the activity scale.
