Treatment Discontinuation and Clinical Events in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Treated with Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors or NPH Insulin as Third-Line Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Research, 2018
Objective. To compare dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors with neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin, in terms of effectiveness and safety for the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) not controlled on metformin and ...

Comparison between traditional and goal directed perfusion in cardiopulmonary by-pass. A differential cost analysis in US

open access: yesFarmeconomia: Health Economics and Therapeutic Pathways, 2015
OBJECTIVES: High oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with better renal outcome in cardiac surgery. Traditional perfusion (TP) techniques, targeted on body surface area and CPB temperature, achieves high DO2 in about 50%

Discrete Exponential-Family Models for Multivariate Binary Outcomes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Studies that collect multi-outcome data such as tobacco and alcohol use are becoming increasingly common. In principle, multi-outcomes studies investigate the correlations between outcomes, including, causal links and/or joint distributions. Although there are many methods for studying multivariate outcomes, significant limitations regarding scale and ...

Using Multiple Outcomes to Improve the Synthetic Control Method [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
When there are multiple outcome series of interest, Synthetic Control analyses typically proceed by estimating separate weights for each outcome. In this paper, we instead propose estimating a common set of weights across outcomes, by balancing either a vector of all outcomes or an index or average of them.

Clinical Prediction Models to Predict the Risk of Multiple Binary Outcomes: a comparison of approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Clinical prediction models (CPMs) are used to predict clinically relevant outcomes or events. Typically, prognostic CPMs are derived to predict the risk of a single future outcome. However, with rising emphasis on the prediction of multi-morbidity, there is growing need for CPMs to simultaneously predict risks for each of multiple future outcomes.
