In this way, it is assessed whether the use of healthcare resources by health professionals is what would be expected as a function of the morbidity in the population served.
Second, because life expectancy is also a function of co-morbidity, performance states, and recurrence [ 23], the current estimates provide only a crude estimation of the average EYLL.
DALYs averted are calculated by combining burden of disease averted from less malaria morbidity (as a function of malaria incidence, length of disease, and impact on quality of life) and less malaria mortality (as a function of malaria incidence, case fatality rate (CFR) and country specific average life expectancy at age one year [23]).
In retrospect (within death cohorts), one can analytically separate between changes in lifespan and changes in morbidity as a function of time until death.
Both the unadjusted and adjusted models reporting the likelihood of major morbidity as a function of the RBC storage time are included in Figure 2. b = regression coefficient; C.I. = confidence interval; CPB = cardiopulmonary bypass; OR = odds ratio; SE = standard error The association between RBC storage time and pulmonary complications was addressed with the same analysis.
Because the incidence of corticosteroid related morbidity increases as a function of both total exposure and duration of exposure (11, 12), any change in the treatment regimen that can minimize corticosteroid exposure has the potential to significantly reduce corticosteroid related morbidity, as well as suppression of graft function and disease relapse.
A strength of this systematic review over previous narrative reviews is that it was able to explore the degree to which prevalence estimates of co-morbidity fluctuate as a function of clinical and methodological considerations.
Unfortunately, these reviews are not based on all of the available evidence, generally only explore the prevalence of high prevalence disorders, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders and substance use disorders, and are unable to explore the degree to which prevalence estimates of co-morbidity fluctuate as a function of clinical and methodological considerations, such as gambling severity.
To study modes of delivery and neonatal morbidity of twins as a function of their presentation.
Neonatal morbidity appears to be a function of prematurity rather than of massive proteinuria itself.
