Prevention of PTB would likely benefit from greater attention to drug dependence and mental disorders given the probable underreporting of these causes in pregnancy (with consequently underestimated attributable fractions) [ 35, 36], since the benefits of treatment for infection are uncertain [ 7, 43, 44].
This restricted the precision of our estimates of pathogen attributable fraction; consequently, we could not confirm the precise role of several pathogens that may be important contributors to the burden of SARI.
Finally, we use the same formula, the values of prevalence (Pe) and the relative risks for the other cancers (Table 1) to estimate their PAF and, consequently, the numbers of cases attributable to smoking.
This assumption is important because it assigns risk to any exposure and the burden of cancer attributable to radiation is consequently driven by the lower levels of exposure that contribute the bulk of the radiation dose to the population.
If so, the magnitude of the group of high risk drinkers will be underestimated and consequently the proportion of alcohol related injuries attributable to a small group of heavy drinkers may be overestimated.
Consequently the number of infections among health care professionals attributable to injuries from needles and syringes are worldwide estimated to 66,000 hepatitis B (HBV) incidences, 16,000 hepatitis C virus (HCV) incidences and 1,000 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidences per year [2].
High compliance/persistence behaviour is strongly associated with other healthy behaviours (Curtis et al, 2011); consequently, observed benefits of treatment persistence may be partly attributable to other healthy behaviours (Bonadonna and Valagussa, 1981).
7 The increase in screening uptake from 60%to80%0% decreases the number of underscreened individuals by approximately 50% and consequently reduces overall CRC mortality by roughly one-half the "population attributable fraction".
The assumption is that most of the regions in the genome are under no, or weak, selection during the time-span evaluated in this study and, consequently, nearly all the observed differences in the evaluated windows are attributable to genetic drift.
The reason for awareness being somewhat marginalized as a candidate for theoretical investigations is possibly attributable to the fact that it occurs within the minds of innovators, and is consequently perceived as being more aptly suited to the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience.2.2
