Journal ArticleDOI

Immediate and past cumulative effects of oral glucocorticoids on the risk of acute myocardial infarction in rheumatoid arthritis: a population-based study

TL;DR: GCs are associated with an increased risk of MI in RA, an immediate effect mediated through current dosage and a long-term effect of cumulative exposure, which is suggested to be a dual effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative effectiveness of rhythm control vs rate control drug treatment effect on mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: In this population-based sample of patients with AF, there is little difference in mortality within 4 years of treatment initiation between patients withAF initiating rhythm control therapy vs those initiating rate control therapy, however, rhythm control Therapy seems to be superior in the long-term.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of health services use prior to a first diagnosis of psychosis: the importance of primary care.

TL;DR: Improving access to primary care may reduce the burden on emergency departments and inpatient units; however, primary care providers may need additional training in the symptoms of early psychosis and referral protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of the model-building strategy on inference about nonlinear and time-dependent covariate effects in survival analysis.

TL;DR: In simulations, the impact of the approach used to build the flexible multivariable model on inference about the TD and NL covariate effects is investigated and iterative backward elimination of nonsignificant NL and TD effects from the multivariables model may help discriminate between true and spurious effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
