Survival probability and predictors for woman experience childhood death in Nigeria: “analysis of north–south differentials”

BMC Public Health, 2012
Background Childhood mortality rate is high in Nigeria. There is dearth of information on the comparison of childhood mortality probability and its causal factors in the Northern and Southern Nigeria. This study was designed to fill these gaps.

Population Demographic Characteristics of Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A. Mey.) Bunge ex Fenzl in Gobi Desert of Mongolia

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020
We measured the basal diameter, height and crown size of saxaul trees, and used survival curve and static life table in defining population structure and dynamics of H. ammodendron. The static life-table proved that population size in the first three age

Emapalumab for Immune Effector Cell‐Associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis‐Like Syndrome Following CD19‐Directed CAR‐T in Two Patients With B‐ALL: Clinical and Biomarker Correlates

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immune effector cell‐associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis‐like syndrome (IEC‐HS) is a life‐threatening hyperinflammatory toxicity distinct from cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity following chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CAR‐T) therapy. In a single‐institution retrospective cohort of pediatric and young adult patients

Correcting inaccurate background mortality in excess hazard models through breakpoints

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020
Background Methods for estimating relative survival are widely used in population-based cancer survival studies. These methods are based on splitting the observed (the overall) mortality into excess mortality (due to cancer) and background mortality (due
