However, to the best of our knowledge, our study is the first one investigating PMH therapy separately for ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative RA, and also exploring the risk according to the type of therapy (estrogen only or estrogen plus progestogens).
In this retrospective chart review study of male patients with osteoporosis treated at a single medical center in southern Taiwan, we aimed to investigate 1- and 2-year adherence (both compliance and persistence) to osteoporosis regimens (including bisphosphonates and calcitonin), and also explore the risk factors associated with poor adherence.
Hence, this study was designed to compare the clinical features, including patient age, comorbidities, extent of infection, microbiology, laboratory markers, and time to surgery, in diabetic and nondiabetic NF patients, and we also explored the possible risk factors associated with mortality.
As sex can influence the accuracy of emotion recognition [ 3] and is a risk factor for PD [ 44], we also explored the interaction between risk group and sex on response to the facial recognition task.
We also explored the effects of risk factors on the time to the first medical complication.
A number of risk factors are consistently linked to IPV, including young age, low academic achievement, low income, marital conflict and low social capital. 1 In this study, we also explored the relationships between the risk factors and the different types of IPV as a way of assessing the utility of the Chinese AAS for identifying women abused by their intimate partners.
We also explored the differences in risks among countries in country-specific analyses, assessing heterogeneity and performing a meta-analysis using a fixed-effects model.
We also explored the possible impact of risk of bias on statistically significant pooled estimates of exercise effect by removing studies of poorer quality that is, those for which the risk of bias was unclear for at least three of the quality components considered, or the risk was at least unclear for one category and high for another.
They also explored the relationships between lifetime heart failure risk and risk factors such as obesity, blood pressure and prior heart attack.
