[Premature mortality in Serbia].

Srpski arhiv za celokupno lekarstvo, 2007
Premature mortality is calculated from the years of potential life lost (YPLL). The use of this indicator provides information about the state of health of the population in East European countries in comparision to West European countries, the USA and Japan, in the late 1980s. The article deals with the possibility of rough calculations of YPLL per 10,

Pathways of the determinants of unfavourable birth outcomes in Kenya

, 2003
This paper explores the pathways of the determinants of unfavourable birth outcomes, such as premature birth, the size of the baby at birth, and Caesarean section deliveries in Kenya, using graphical loglinear chain models. The results show that a number

Initial burden of disease estimates for South Africa, 2000 [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND This paper describes the first national burden of disease study for South Africa. The main focus is the burden due to premature mortality, i.e. years of life lost (YLLs). In addition, estimates of the burden contributed by morbidity, i.e.

Pentoxifylline dose finding trial in preterm neonates with suspected late onset sepsis (PTX‐trial)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this study (PTX‐trial) is to determine the optimal dose of pentoxifylline (PTX) in preterm neonates (gestational age < 30 weeks) with (suspected) late onset sepsis (LONS). Methods The PTX‐trial is a prospective multicentre open‐label sequential dose‐optimization study with an adapted continual reassessment method.

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Completion vs. early discontinuation of chemotherapy and the impact on 5‐year all‐cause mortality in women treated for early‐stage breast cancer from 2015 to 2020: A cohort study using a target trial emulation approach

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Chemotherapy is given for early‐stage breast cancer; however, some patients discontinue before completing all planned cycles. This study investigated the impact of early chemotherapy discontinuation on treatment outcomes. Methods This retrospective cohort study used a target trial emulation framework to conduct a causal analysis of the all‐
