Incidence of cardiovascular disease and its associated risk factors in at-risk men and women in the United Arab Emirates: a 9-year retrospective cohort study

Saif Al-Shamsi, +2 more
- 17 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: Among high-risk UAE nationals who did not have histories of CVD, the risk of major CVD was associated with high systolic blood pressure, a low estimated glomerular filtration rate, and poorly controlled diabetes, and the high TC-to-HDL-C ratios are modifiable risk factors that should be managed aggressively.

Effect of Antihypertensive Medications on Sepsis-Related Outcomes: A Population-Based Cohort Study*

Joohae Kim, +6 more
- 01 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: In patients with sepsis, lower mortality rate was associated with prior use of ang Elliotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers not with use of calcium channel blockers or thiazides, although the survival benefits were not prominent.

Lifetime Risk of Stroke and Coronary Heart Disease Deaths According to Blood Pressure Level: EPOCH-JAPAN (Evidence for Cardiovascular Prevention From Observational Cohorts in Japan)

Michihiro Satoh, +16 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: Blood pressure was clearly associated with an elevated LTR of stroke or CHD death, although the LTROf stroke death was one-half of that of stroke death in an Asian population, which would help young people with hypertension to adopt a healthy lifestyle or start antihypertensive therapy early.

Julian P T Higgins, +3 more
- 04 Sep 2003 - 
TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

Matthias Egger, +3 more
- 13 Sep 1997 - 
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

Julian P T Higgins, +1 more
- 15 Jun 2002 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.
