Modeling the Risk in Mortality Projections
Operations Research, 2022Capturing the Uncertainty in Long-Term Mortality Forecasts The uncertainty in future longevity presents a substantial risk factor for insurance companies, pension funds, and retirement systems. In “Modeling the Risk in Mortality Projections,” Zhu and Bauer present novel stochastic models for analyzing this longevity risk that focus on the uncertainty

Environmental Entomology, 2009
Understanding how and why insect numbers fluctuate through time and space has been a central theme in ecological research for more than a century. Life tables have been used to understand temporal and spatial patterns in insect numbers. In this study, we estimated cause-of-death probabilities for phytophagous insects using multiple decrement life ...

Prediction of Mortality Risk in the Elderly
The American Journal of Medicine, 2006Ways to predict the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events or all-cause mortality have largely been derived from populations in which old and very old subjects were underrepresented. We set out to estimate the incremental prognostic utility of inflammation and atherosclerosis markers in the prediction of all-cause and CV mortality in elderly men.In a ...

Mortality risk of coronary arteriography
International Journal of Angiology, 1997Mortality statistics from multicenter studies outlined some high risk characteristics of patients with coronary heart disease subjected to coronary angiography. Among these, the left main disease carries the worst prognosis. The features of left main disease patients with a higher mortality probability during coronary angiography are described.

Econometrica, 1989
A lifetime utility model, in which the date of death is uncertain and in which bequests give utility, is analyzed and estimated. The parameter estimates imply that most bequests are accidental, the result of mortality risk, and that the shape of the desired consumption path is sensitive to variations in mortality rates.

Estimate of perinatal mortality risk
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1993Perinatal mortality is usually calculated according to the World Health Organisation as stillbirth and first week mortality at a specified week of gestation divided by all births at that same gestational week. This is not a meaningful indicator of the risk of future perinatal death for a living fetus.

Hearing Difficulty and Risk of Mortality
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2019Investigate whether hearing difficulty has an influence on the risk of mortality.A nationally representative sample of individuals 18 years or older with data available for hearing and mortality status was selected from the National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS) 2005-2009.

MORTALITY RISK OF EXCHANGE TRANSFUSION
Pediatrics, 1968The exchange transfusions performed at The Johns Hopkins Hospital over a 6-year period have been reviewed. During this period there were 351 exchange transfusions performed on 232 infants with 11 deaths. The mortality rates in the present series are as low as any in the literature, even though the procedures have been carried out by a large group of ...

The mortality risk associated with hysterectomy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1985To study the risks of mortality associated with hysterectomy that are specific to age, race, surgical approach, and associated conditions, we used data collected by the Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities during 1979 and 1980. Four hundred seventy-seven deaths were recorded among 317,389 women having abdominal hysterectomies and 46 ...
