What can we learn from functional clustering of mortality data? An application to HMD data [PDF]

European Journal of Population 37 (2021) 769-798, 2020
In most cases, mortality is analysed considering summary indicators (e.~g. $e_0$ or $e^{\dagger}_0$) that either focus on a specific mortality component or pool all component-specific information in one measure. This can be a limitation, when we are interested to analyse the global evolution of mortality patterns without loosing sight of specific ...

Risky injection practices and HCV awareness in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand: a respondent-driven sampling study of people who inject drugs

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background People who inject drugs (PWID) are the most exposed to hepatitis C virus (HCV). In Thailand, drug use is highly criminalized, and harm reduction services are scarce. This study estimates risky injection practices and assesses the proportion of

Primary extranodal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma: Molecular features, treatment, and prognosis

Aging and Cancer, Volume 3, Issue 3-4, Page 133-146, September-December 2022., 2022
One‐third of DLBCL arises from extranodal organs and is challenging to manage. Molecular features are critical to elucidate the differences in clinical features, predict the disease prognosis, and improve effective targeted therapeutic strategies. Abstract Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma and ...

Catastrophe Risk in a Stochastic Multi-Population Mortality Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This paper presents an approach to incorporate mortality shocks into mortality projections produced by a stochastic multi-population mortality model. The proposed model combines a decreasing stochastic mortality trend with a regime-switching mechanism that captures age-specific mortality shocks over a lengthy calibration period.
