Independencies Induced from a Graphical Markov Model After Marginalization and Conditioning: The R Package ggm [PDF]

We describe some functions in the R package ggm to derive from a given Markov model, represented by a directed acyclic graph, different types of graphs induced after marginalizing over and conditioning on some of the variables.

The association between sociodemographic and clinical factors and outcomes among inpatients with community‐acquired pneumonia

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality. The influence of sociodemographic characteristics on adverse outcomes in adults hospitalized with CAP remains poorly understood, particularly for patients younger than 65.

Patient regret in tooth extraction for periodontitis: Highlighting the role of patient involvement in decision‐making

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tooth extraction is one of the most common irreversible treatment options in dentistry, and it may lead to complex emotional responses such as patient regret. This study aimed to assess the extent of decisional regret among patients who underwent tooth extraction due to periodontal disease and to identify associated influencing ...

Sex‐specific associations between potentially traumatic events and cardiovascular disease in middle‐aged and older adults

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Potentially traumatic events (PTEs) are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in aging populations. Despite sex differences in PTE exposure and CVD incidence, no study has examined sex‐specific associations between PTEs and CVD in the same sample of middle‐aged and older adults.

Joint and Independent Associations of Dietary Antioxidant Intakes With Advanced Stages in Older Patients With Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) progression in an older population. Using data from NHANES 2001–2020, we analyzed 4974 adults aged ≥ 60 years with CKM syndrome. The CDAI was calculated from the intake of six dietary antioxidants.

Sparse nested Markov models with log-linear parameters

, 2013
Hidden variables are ubiquitous in practical data analysis, and therefore modeling marginal densities and doing inference with the resulting models is an important problem in statistics, machine learning, and causal inference.

Identifying High‐Risk Children Safe for Same‐Day Discharge After Tonsillectomy

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Current guidelines recommend overnight admission for children with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity undergoing tonsillectomy, although most have uneventful postoperative courses. We aimed to identify low‐risk subgroups within this high‐risk population who may be candidates for same‐day discharge. Methods Retrospective

Risk Assessment and Diagnosis Model for Real‐Time Flood Control Operation of a Multi‐Reservoir System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Real‐time flood control operation of multi‐reservoir systems is affected by multiple sources of hydrological and operational uncertainties, which increase the complexity of risk propagation and decision‐making processes. Therefore, effective risk assessment and diagnosis are essential for supporting risk‐informed flood control operation.
