Relationship between pre‐transplant physical function and outcomes after kidney transplant

TL;DR: Performance‐based measures of physical function predict morbidity following non‐transplant surgery and assess how physical function changes post-transplant.

Functional status, healthcare utilization, and the costs of liver transplantation.

TL;DR: Functional status is an important determinant of posttransplant resource utilization; therefore, standardized measurements of functional status should be considered to optimize candidate selection and outcomes.

Frailty in Older Adults Evidence for a Phenotype

TL;DR: This study provides a potential standardized definition for frailty in community-dwelling older adults and offers concurrent and predictive validity for the definition, and finds that there is an intermediate stage identifying those at high risk of frailty.

A Modified Poisson Regression Approach to Prospective Studies with Binary Data

TL;DR: Results from a limited simulation study indicate that this approach is very reliable even with total sample sizes as small as 100, and the method is illustrated with two data sets.

Evaluating the added predictive ability of a new marker: From area under the ROC curve to reclassification and beyond

TL;DR: Two new measures, one based on integrated sensitivity and specificity and the other on reclassification tables, are introduced that offer incremental information over the AUC and are proposed to be considered in addition to the A UC when assessing the performance of newer biomarkers.
