Vascular Calcification and the Gut and Blood Microbiome in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: A Pilot Study

Biomolecules, 2022
Vascular calcification (VC) is a frequent condition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a well-established risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Gut dysbiosis may contribute to CVD and inflammation in CKD patients. Nonetheless,

Testosterone therapy and mortality risk [PDF]

International Journal of Impotence Research, 2014
Recent data suggest an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in men on testosterone therapy (TT). To date, there are no long-term, prospective studies to determine safety. In such cases, retrospective observational studies can be helpful. We examined our patient database to determine whether TT altered the risk of all-cause mortality in

Subjective mortality risk and bequests [PDF]

Journal of Econometrics, 2015
This paper investigates the ability of subjective expectations about life expectancy to predict wealth holding patterns in later life. Based on panel data from the Asset and Health Dynamics among the Oldest Old, we estimate a structural life-cycle model with bequests.

Competing Risks In Mortality Analysis [PDF]

Annual Review of Public Health, 1991
In this paper we present a brief review of the concept of competing risks and the statistical methods of mortality analysis including estimation of three types of probability of dying with respect to a particular cause of death. We will describe formulas of estimates for cohort studies medical follow-up studies and analyses of mortality data for a ...
