Patients in the Middle East and Morocco also had a considerable number of cardiovascular risk factors, most notably hypertension.
Despite the availability of various global risk assessment scores like the Framingham Score [ 7], the PROCAM Score [ 3] and the European Society of Cardiology SCORE [ 6], prediction of cardiovascular events is incomplete and a considerable number of patients at risk go unidentified on the basis of traditional risk factors alone.
This may be the case, for example, (1) if compared with the "positive" studies, there are a considerable number of studies without risk relation, (2) if there is a lack of study results or inconsistent results from intervention studies with intermediary markers, or (3) if meta-analyses gave heterogeneous results.
Applying the traditional SBP threshold of 90 mmHg probably results in a considerable number of patients with increased risk of death being overlooked.
Ignoring the possibility of GNB, especially those producing extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), as mediators of HD access-related infections places a considerable number of patients at unwarranted risk.
Providing renal laboratory data to pharmacists in a primary care setting revealed that there were a considerable number of subjects at increased risk for adverse drug events (ADEs) due to renal impairment.
A considerable number of women still remain at risk for early or late locoregional recurrences.
The introduction of automatic eGFR-alerts identified a considerable number of subjects who are at risk for ADEs due to renal impairment in an ambulatory setting.
The present study has important limitations, first and foremost the relatively small sample size and a considerable number of statistical tests increasing the risk of type I and type II errors.
This study examined risk behaviours and estimated point prevalence of five STIs in a group of GMT residing in the province of La Romana, DR. A considerable number of these men reported high-risk sex behaviours: one-third had two or more male sex partners during the preceding month, and less than half consistently used condoms.
