To corroborate these risk estimates, they also augmented the literature review with a thorough analysis of their own departmental records representing real-world data and an accurate local estimate of complications relative to total number of procedures.
However, some authors have recently highlighted that the literature does not corroborate some risk indicators listed by the JCIH, especially with respect to their relationship with postnatal hearing loss [ 8, 9].
Table 2 summarizes independent information [ 29- 43, 15] corroborating high risks for leukemias and lymphomas associated with ATM deficits or with other BRCA pathway abnormalities.
To corroborate self-reported risk behavior, we independently evaluated incident STIs as a secondary outcome variable.
10 In contrast, a subsequent cohort study in Denmark did not corroborate an increased risk.
Our results for the Hmong corroborate the higher risk of adverse birth outcomes among Southeast Asians relative to whites and East Asians.
Some well-designed observational studies fail to corroborate increased CV risk with NSAIDs and suggest that long-term treatment with NSAIDs or coxibs is associated with a substantially reduced incidence of CV events and all-cause mortality perhaps linked to increased activity with adequate pain relief [ 7, 8].
Our contemporary data corroborated previously shown risk factors, including alcohol intake, obesity, chronic renal impairment, cardiovascular conditions, and diuretic use.
The National Cancer Institute Inflammation and Cancer Think Tank in Cancer Biology (NCI, 2008) has recognised that epidemiological and clinical research corroborates an increased risk of certain cancers in the setting of chronic inflammation.
However, in our study, adjustment for parental occupation did not affect the relation between birth weight and cancer risk, corroborating other reports using father's occupation as marker of early life SES (De Stavola et al, 2000; Vatten et al, 2002).
