Risk Prediction Models for Recurrence After Curative Treatment of Early‐Stage or Locally Advanced Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This systematic review synthesizes prognostic models for survival and recurrence in resected non‐small cell lung cancer. While many models demonstrate moderate to good discrimination, few are externally validated and reporting quality is variable, limiting clinical applicability and highlighting the need for robust, transparent model development ...

A Rapid Assessment of Covid-19 Vaccine Averted Mortality Modelling

Interdisciplinary Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health
Introduction: The ubiquitous use of COVID-19 vaccination during the pandemic makes it challenging to quantify its effect. While comparisons can be made over time (comparing outcomes by vaccination rate), most estimates rely on modeling using vaccine ...

Alcohol consumption and liver cirrhosis mortality: New evidence from a panel data analysis for sixteen European countries [PDF]

Empirical evidence gives strong support to a close association between liver cirrhosis mortality and the intake of alcohol and most often a log-linear relationship is assumed in the econometric modeling.

The McCance Brain Care Score and Mortality: Evidence From a Large‐Scale Population‐Based Cohort

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to examine the relationship between the McCance Brain Care Score (BCS) and mortality in the general population. Methods We conducted a prospective, population‐based cohort study using data from the UK Biobank. Participants with complete data enabling calculation of BCS and full mortality information were included ...

Mathematical modelling to estimate the impact of maternal and perinatal healthcare services and interventions on health in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review.

PLoS ONE
IntroductionMathematical modelling is a commonly utilised tool to predict the impact of policy on health outcomes globally. Given the persistently high levels of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, mathematical modelling

Cohort aggregation modelling for complex forest stands: Spruce-aspen mixtures in British Columbia

, 2016
Mixed-species growth models are needed as a synthesis of ecological knowledge and for guiding forest management. Individual-tree models have been commonly used, but the difficulties of reliably scaling from the individual to the stand level are often ...

Modeling mortality

, 2007
Chapter 3 of the dissertation models the macro-longevity risk and introduces a stochastic model for human mortality rates. Chapter 4 analyzes the importance of mortality improvement and mortality risk (macro- and micro-longevity risk and parameter uncertainty) on solvency positions of pension funds of various sizes. Chapter 5 measures the present value

Hospital Readmission After Traumatic Brain Injury Hospitalization in Community‐Dwelling Older Adults

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the risk of hospital readmission after an index hospitalization for TBI in older adults. Methods Using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, we used propensity score matching of individuals with an index TBI‐related hospitalization to individuals with (1) non‐TBI hospitalizations (primary analysis)

Functional Connectivity Linked to Cognitive Recovery After Minor Stroke

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Patients with minor stroke exhibit slowed processing speed and generalized alterations in functional connectivity involving frontoparietal cortex (FPC). The pattern of connectivity evolves over time. In this study, we examine the relationship of functional connectivity patterns to cognitive performance, to determine ...

A comparative study of parametric mortality projection models [PDF]

, 2010
The relative merits of different parametric models for making life expectancy and annuity value predictions at both pensioner and adult ages are investigated. This study builds on current published research and considers recent model enhancements and the
