The Hazards of Period Specific and Weighted Hazard Ratios [PDF]
How to adequately handle nonproportional hazards (NPH) in clinical trials is an important and timely question, particularly given recent advances in immuno-oncology treatments, in which survival cu...

Blood pressure variability and cardiovascular risk in the PROspective study of pravastatin in the elderly at risk (PROSPER) [PDF]
Variability in blood pressure predicts cardiovascular disease in young- and middle-aged subjects, but relevant data for older individuals are sparse. We analysed data from the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER) study of ...

Ceramide remodeling and risk of cardiovascular events and mortality [PDF]
BackgroundRecent studies suggest that circulating concentrations of specific ceramide species may be associated with coronary risk and mortality. We sought to determine the relations between the most abundant plasma ceramide species of differing acyl ...

Association of Accelerometry-Measured Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Events in Mobility-Limited Older Adults: The LIFE (Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders) Study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Data are sparse regarding the value of physical activity (PA) surveillance among older adults-particularly among those with mobility limitations. The objective of this study was to examine longitudinal associations between objectively measured

What’s the Risk: Differentiating Risk Ratios, Odds Ratios, and Hazard Ratios? [PDF]
Risk ratios, odds ratios, and hazard ratios are three common, but often misused, statistical measures in clinical research. In this paper, the authors dissect what each of these terms define, and provide examples from the medical literature to illustrate each of these statistical measures.

Ectopy on a single 12‐lead ECG, incident cardiac myopathy, and death in the community [PDF]
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation and heart failure are 2 of the most common diseases, yet ready means to identify individuals at risk are lacking. The 12-lead ECG is one of the most accessible tests in medicine.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and mortality in the United States general population
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in peripheral blood reflects the balance between systemic inflammation and immunity and is emerging as a prognostic biomarker in many diseases, but its predictive role for mortality in the general population has ...
