The phrase "a preferential risk" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to finance, insurance, or decision-making where certain risks are favored or prioritized over others.
Example: "Investors often seek a preferential risk that aligns with their financial goals and risk tolerance."
Alternatives: "a favored risk" or "a prioritized risk".
Whatever the cause, our results show that HPV18 has a preferential risk for AdCx and ACIS.
Our previous, cross-sectional study indicated a preferential risk of HPV18 for the development of cancer from normal cytology (Bulk et al, 2006).
Nevertheless, whether the observed association between HPV18 and SCC is mainly caused by a preferential risk of HPV18 for the development if SCC, or by underdetection of HPV18 precursor lesions, our findings have important implications for evaluations of screening programmes.
This suggests that HPV16 and HPV18 are associated with a preferential risk compared to the other high-risk types of hrHPV for the development of either SCC or adenocarcinoma.
Possibly, even more efficient screening strategies can be developed by selecting hrHPV types conferring a preferential risk for the development of cervical cancer, and treat these infections more aggressively.
These data suggest that within the group of high-risk types of which the association with cervical cancer has already been established beyond any doubt (Munoz et al, 2003), infections with either HPV16, HPV18, or HPV45 confer a preferential risk to develop a malignancy of the uterine cervix.
In order to assess the preferential risk for cervical cancer and its precursors, type-specific prevalence of hrHPV types in cancer cases should be compared to type-specific prevalence in women without cancer.
Low-dose oxytocin may have a preferential role in the high-risk parturient whose fetus is at increased risk for fetal intolerance to labor (Am J Obstet Gynecol 2002 187:273-80).
A preferential tax base for high risk projects induces higher managerial effort, while a preferential tax rate has no such effect.
When analyzing the effect of corporate taxation on a delegated portfolio investment decision in which the manager is compensated based on a pre-tax performance contract, Niemann (2008) finds that a preferential tax base for the high risk project increases investment in high risk projects, while a preferential tax rate has no such effect.
This result leads to the following empirical prediction: Managers invest more in risky projects if the tax system has a preferential tax base for high-risk projects.
