Association between Cutaneous Nevi and Breast Cancer in the Nurses' Health Study: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: Cutaneous nevi are suggested to be hormone-related. We hypothesized that the number of cutaneous nevi might be a phenotypic marker of plasma hormone levels and predict subsequent breast cancer risk. Methods and ... -
Association between daily antiretroviral pill burden and treatment adherence, hospitalisation risk, and other healthcare utilisation and costs in a US medicaid population with HIV
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)Objectives: Lower pill burden leads to improved antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among HIV patients. Simpler dosing regimens have not been widely explored in real-world populations. We retrospectively assessed ART ... -
Association between dietary acid load and the risk of cardiovascular disease: nationwide surveys (KNHANES 2008–2011)
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Acid–base imbalance has been reported to increase incidence of hypertension and diabetes. However, the association between diet-induced acid load and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the general population ... -
The Association between Disturbed Eating Behavior and Socioeconomic Status: The Online Korean Adolescent Panel Survey (OnKAPS)
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: A limited amount of research, primarily conducted in Western countries, has suggested that higher socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with higher risk of eating disorders (EDs). However, little is known ... -
Association Between Dopaminergic Polymorphisms and Borderline Personality Traits Among At-Risk Young Adults and Psychiatric Inpatients
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background: In the development of borderline personality disorder (BPD) both genetic and environmental factors have important roles. The characteristic affective disturbance and impulsive aggression are linked to imbalances ... -
Association between Food Insecurity and Procurement Methods among People Living with HIV in a High Resource Setting
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Objective: People living with HIV in high-resource settings suffer severe levels of food insecurity; however, limited evidence exists regarding dietary intake and sub-components that characterize food insecurity (i.e. food ... -
Association Between Genetic Variant on Chromosome 12p13 and Stroke Survival and Recurrence: A One Year Prospective Study in Taiwan
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: The association between ischemic stroke and 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 12p13, rs12425791 and rs11833579 appears inconsistent across different samples. These SNPs are close to the ... -
Association between hemochromatosis genotype and lead exposure among elderly men: the normative aging study.
(2004)Because body iron burden is inversely associated with lead absorption, genes associated with hemochromatosis may modify body lead burden. Our objective was to determine whether the C282Y and/or H63D hemochromatosis gene ... -
Association Between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Total Stroke by Hypertensive Status Among Men
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Background: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, may promote atherosclerosis, particularly among adults with elevated blood pressure; however, data are sparse. We examined the ... -
Association between hospital case volume and mortality in non-elderly pneumonia patients stratified by severity: a retrospective cohort study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: The characteristics and aetiology of pneumonia in the non-elderly population is distinct from that in the elderly population. While a few studies have reported an inverse association between hospital case volume ... -
Association Between Hospital Performance on Patient Safety and 30‐Day Mortality and Unplanned Readmission for Medicare Fee‐for‐Service Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Background: Little is known regarding the relationship between hospital performance on adverse event rates and hospital performance on 30‐day mortality and unplanned readmission rates for Medicare fee‐for‐service patients ... -
Association Between Hospital Readmission and Acute and Sustained Delays in Functional Recovery During 18 Months After Elective Surgery: The Successful Aging after Elective Surgery Study
(Wiley, 2017-01)Objectives: To examine the effect of hospital readmission on functional recovery after elective surgery in older adults. Design: Prospective cohort of individuals aged 70 and older undergoing elective surgery, enrolled ... -
The Association between Individual and Combined Components of Metabolic Syndrome and Chronic Kidney Disease among African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Introduction: Approximately 26.3 million people in the United States have chronic kidney disease and many more are at risk of developing the condition. The association between specific metabolic syndrome components and ... -
Association between Inflammation and Cardiac Geometry in Chronic Kidney Disease: Findings from the CRIC Study
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and myocardial contractile dysfunction are independent predictors of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The association between inflammatory biomarkers ... -
The association between insurance status and in-hospital mortality on the public medical wards of a Kenyan referral hospital
(Co-Action Publishing, 2014)Background: Observational data in the United States suggests that those without health insurance have a higher mortality and worse health outcomes. A linkage between insurance coverage and outcomes in hospitalized patients ... -
The association between intra- and juxta-cortical pathology and cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis by quantitative T2* mapping at 7 T MRI
(Elsevier, 2016)Using quantitative T2* at 7 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging, we investigated whether impairment in selective cognitive functions in multiple sclerosis (MS) can be explained by pathology in specific areas and/or layers ... -
Association Between Language Proficiency and the Quality of Primary Care Among a National Sample of Insured Latinos
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2007)Context: Latinos experience substantial barriers to primary care. Limited English language proficiency may be a mechanism for these deficiencies, even for Latinos with health coverage. Objective: To determine the ... -
