Effect of Raloxifene on All-cause Mortality

The American Journal of Medicine, 2010
Raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, reduces osteoporosis and invasive breast cancer risk but increases risk for venous thromboembolism and fatal stroke in women with or at high risk for coronary heart disease. To assess the risk/benefit of raloxifene as a preventative treatment, we analyzed treatment effects on overall and cause ...

All-cause mortality after ERCP

Endoscopy, 2016
Background and study aims: This study aimed to externally validate a recently developed English model for the prediction of 30-day mortality after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Real-world mortality data beyond 30 days post-ERCP are scarce; thus, the study also aimed to develop a prediction model for mortality up to 12 months ...

All-Cause Mortality Prediction in T2D Patients

2020
Mortality in elderly population having type II diabetes (T2D) can be prevented sometimes through intervention. For that risk assessment can be performed through predictive modeling. This study is part of a collaboration with Maccabi Healthcare Services’ Electronic Health Records (EHR) data, that consists on up to 10 years of 18,000 elderly T2D patients.

Obesity: Focus on all-cause mortality and cancer

Maturitas, 2010
Excess body weight is a strong determinant as well as modifiable risk factor for all-cause and cancer mortality, and as such carries the potential for primary prevention. Recently published studies greatly enhance our knowledge about the impact of body fat distribution on relative risks specific to cancer type, and among women, there is further ...

Sleep Duration and All-Cause Mortality

Journal of Insurance Medicine
Sleep, as a behavioural lifestyle factor, has so far received limited attention in medical risk assessment. Nonetheless, behavioural lifestyle factors can offer valuable insights into the health status of applicants. Health trackers enable the continuous recording of lifestyle factors such as physical activity and sleep patterns.
