The prognostic value of clinical frailty scale and outcomes in older patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 257-263, December 2022., 2022
The main finding in our study is that Clinical Frailty Scale‐defined frailty status was predictive of 1‐year post‐interventional mortality after left ventricular assist device implantation. Abstract Objectives Heart failure impacts patients’ functional capabilities, ultimately leading to frailty.

Quantitative clarification of key questions about COVID-19 epidemiology [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Modeling the spread of COVID-19 is crucial for informing public health policy. All models for COVID-19 epidemiology rely on parameters describing the dynamics of the infection process. The meanings of epidemiological parameters like R_0, R_t, the "serial interval" and "generation interval" can be challenging to understand, especially as these and other

Annotation of epidemiological information in animal disease-related news articles: guidelines [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
This paper describes a method for annotation of epidemiological information in animal disease-related news articles. The annotation guidelines are generic and aim to embrace all animal or zoonotic infectious diseases, regardless of the pathogen involved or its way of transmission (e.g. vector-borne, airborne, by contact).

'Mendelian randomization': can genetic epidemiology contribute to understanding environmental determinants of disease?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Epidemiology, 2003
Associations between modifiable exposures and disease seen in observational epidemiology are sometimes confounded and thus misleading, despite our best efforts to improve the design and analysis of studies.
