For patients with close, positive, or indeterminate margins, the crude risk of local recurrence was 4% among patients who received tamoxifen or received chemotherapy integrated with or after radiation.
Even today's imperfect bundled payment contracts incorporate risk adjustments that are often better than those used in current FFS payment and beyond the crude risk adjustment used in capitation.
We calculated risk ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for poor clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≥4) according to the variables of interest.Prodromal minor stroke was associated with poor outcome (crude risk ratio [cRR], 1.26; 95% CI, 1.12-1.42), buTIAsAs were not (cRR,.93; 95% CI,.79-1.09).
The crude risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CI and area under receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) were calculated.
CONCLUSIONS Patients with PAD in ARISTOTLE had a higher crude risk of stroke or systemic embolism compared with patients without PAD that was not present after adjustment.
In another study on 337 adult ICU patients, the crude risk for UTI was 14/1,000 CD, which is close to what we observed [23].
Some OPEC production cuts will remain, forcing global oil inventories back to normal ranges, but the crude risk premium will likely re-emerge driving oil prices back above $70 a barrel as we go through 2007.
Crude risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals were estimated for the exposure variables.
We used 2×2 tables to calculate the crude risk ratio of death amongst study participants and non-participants.
Half a year after birth, the crude risk of retaining 5 kg or more relative to one's prepregnancy weight was considerably lower in obese women than in other women (14.6% vs 21.2%).
Live birth outcomes were analyzed using crude risk ratios.
