For the variables ever smoking, alcohol consumption, and hypercholesterolemia, there were statistically significant differences (P = 0.007, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, resp .: ever smokers, drinkers, and patients with hypercholesterolemia had a higher likelihood to develop a pancreatic cancer.
These data suggest that HIV patients with a lower CD4/CD8 ratio have a higher likelihood to develop more severe neurocognitive dysfunctions than HIV patients with higher CD4/CD8 ratio despite cART.
In particular, increased REM density may be a promising candidate since premorbidly elevated REM density in HRPs was associated with an increased likelihood to develop an affective disorder [ 34].
It is conceivable that the lack of association with higher intensity current smoking may reflect a 'depletion of susceptibles' i.e. an increased likelihood to develop RA at an earlier age and therefore to not enrol in the EPIC study.
However, high specificity is also important, especially from the clinical and economical point of view, since it does not want to subject individuals with a low likelihood to develop the disease to the risks and costs of genetic testing.
Although certain risk factors have been traditionally associated with a higher likelihood to develop severe RSV-induced LRTI, the vast majority of children hospitalized for this condition are previously normal babies [ 3, 21].
The increased prevalence of C282Y homozygotes in the present patients could be attributed to a greater likelihood to develop non-hepatoma malignancy in persons with hemochromatosis, or to an ascertainment bias for malignancy and hemochromatosis in patients referred to hematology and medical oncology practices.
Unadjusted Kaplan-Meier curves show that a score of <15 was associated with a significant higher likelihood to develop a CV event (Fig. 1).
Another phenotype of RTS is an increased likelihood to develop cancer.
Individuals with mutant T-allele at position −1111C>T of the human IL-13 gene promoter have a 1.81 times likelihood to develop asthma compared to those without this allele at this SNP.
Thus, the remodeling process of the sympathetic nervous system might have an impact on the likelihood to develop an AF relapse in the short-term course following PVI.
