The age and gender demographics roughly matched those of the four risk score derivation cohorts; co-morbidities such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia were of comparable prevalence to the GRACE derivation cohorts, but more prevalent than in the TIMI derivation cohorts (Table S1).
When the results of the present study were compared with those reported from similar blood donors of other countries, a comparable prevalence of HCV antibodies has been reported in blood donors from Libya (0.69%) and Germany (0.65%) [ 39, 40].
However, despite a comparable prevalence, the cystatin C based equation identified a quite different population with CKD compared with the creatinine-based MDRD (79 idenotcal/181 not identical; κ = 0.37 [0.30–0.45]) and CKD-EPI (86 idenotcal/178 not identical; κ = 0.40 [0.33–0.48]) equations.
Following the Jakubowski allodynia questionnaire we found comparable prevalence as in literature, whereas we did not find difference between sex [1, 12, 21, 22] (see Table 3).
The description of possible gender differences in morbidity in a skin disease with comparable prevalence in men and women may therefore provide relevant data.
Despite the high global burden of diseases caused by tobacco, valid and comparable prevalence data for patterns of adult tobacco use and factors influencing use are absent for many low-income and middle-income countries.
Experiential food insecurity survey data, collected by FAO from nationally representative samples of the adult population, once every year in 2014, 2015 and 2016 from 153 countries or territories, are used to develop methods to estimate cross-country comparable prevalence rates of moderate and severe food insecurity.
In this study, conventional and NaPTA-Western blot analysis detected a comparable prevalence of kidneys positive for PrPSc.
Excluding patients on nelfinavir showed a comparable prevalence of CSDIs between patients receiving lopinavir/ritonavir (31.5%), nevirapine (34.3%) and efavirenz (36.5%).
Our data are in line with a previous report from neighboring Congo – a region with comparable prevalence of early pregnancy – showing an even higher proportion of low birth weight infants (37%) in young women [19].
This suggests that a better scoring system specifically developed for the Himalayas might uncover other populations living on the Tibetan plateau with comparable prevalence of CMS to that in the Andes.
