Mineral Metabolism, Mortality, and Morbidity in Maintenance Hemodialysis

TL;DR: Hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism were significantly associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and fracture-related hospitalization, and the population attributable risk percentage for disorders of mineral metabolism was 17.5%, owing largely to the high prevalence of hyperph phosphatemia.

Overall Survival and Updated Results for Sunitinib Compared With Interferon Alfa in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

TL;DR: Sunitinib demonstrates longer overall survival compared with IFN-alpha plus improvement in response and progression-free survival in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC, highlighting an improved prognosis in patients with RCC in the era of targeted therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survival and Prognostic Stratification of 670 Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

TL;DR: Five prognostic factors for predicting survival were identified and used to categorize patients with metastatic RCC into three risk groups, for which the median survival times were separated by 6 months or more.

DegreeCox – a network-based regularization method for survival analysis

TL;DR: DegreeCox is a method that applies network-based regularizers to infer Cox proportional hazard models, when the features are genes and the outcome is patient survival, and is proposed to use network centrality measures to constrain the model in terms of significant genes.

Glycemia, Insulin Resistance, Insulin Secretion, and Risk of Depressive Symptoms in Middle Age

TL;DR: Low insulin secretion appears to be a risk factor for DepS in middle-aged women, although further work is required to confirm this finding.

The application of Firth's procedure to Cox and logistic regression

M. Schemper
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of an extensive simulation study exploring the properties of Firth's procedure in logistic and Cox regression, and the empirical bias of parameter estimates obtained by Firth-type parameter estimates is compared to that resulting from ordinary maximum likelihood estimation in logistically and Cox regressions.

The Statistical Analysis of Interval-Censored Failure Time Data with Applications

TL;DR: This paper explores the statistical analysis of interval-censored failure time data with applications and parametric and nonparametric methods of analysis are carried out.

Prognosis of patients with whiplash-associated disorders consulting physiotherapy: development of a predictive model for recovery.

TL;DR: A model predicting recovery from WAD, in a cohort of patients who consulted physical therapists, has adequate predictive ability, but to be fully incorporated in clinical practice the model needs to be validated in other populations and tested in clinical settings.
