Controls, defined as those subjects who did not meet criteria for rheumatologic evaluation during the first 12 months of AI therapy, were matched to the cases based on AI medication, age (±5 years), prior chemotherapy (yes/no), prior tamoxifen (yes/no), and ethnicity.
Established financial interests drive research and delivery of care based on medication and surgery.
Third, comorbidity was defined based on medication prescriptions.
Algorithms based on medication prescriptions performed with similar variability.
20 Covariates to be included in the regression are: age, gender, race, hospital, subsidy term, the number of hospitalisation or emergency attendances in the past year, number and severity of comorbid conditions, and COPD severity based on medication use.
The ACE subjects in this study were representative of the typical ACE population who survived hospitalization, at least based on age, sex, medical diagnosis, medication number and mobility independence when compared to the previously reported consecutive patient series from our ACE [ 10].
The dosage of these medications was based on patient's age and concomitant medical illness.
A drug-pregnancy alert [ 34] is generated when administration of a drug is contraindicated in pregnancy while a drug-age alert [ 20] relates to a warning to the user of the system that certain medications might be contraindicated based on the age of the patient.
Treatment effect did not differ based on sex, age, EF, NYHA-FC, diabetes, or concomitant medications.
The incidence rates for the primary endpoint and the associated CV risk reductions with linagliptin versus comparators in a number of subgroups (based on age, gender, race, rescue medication use, hypoglycaemia occurrence, or Framingham CV risk score) were generally consistent with the results in the overall population (Table 5 and Additional file 2).
