Recent evidence, however, reveals that the final result of non-surgically midshaft clavicular fractures, particularly those with quite large displacements or shortening, is not like that which was previously thought, demonstrating higher rates of delayed union, non-union, shoulder weakness and residual pain [7, 8].
The utility of HRAs for such encounters is supported by systematic reviews demonstrating higher rates of disclosure of sexual, alcohol, drug, and violent behaviors, as well as HIV status, on computer based surveys than in personal interviews [ 5- 8].
In particular, due to previous work demonstrating higher rates of cognitive decline in older people who develop severe sepsis [ 8], we hypothesized that infection in critically ill patients would be independently associated with a higher risk of dementia.
Our results also accord with those from Western countries demonstrating higher rates of revision TKA in males compared to females [ 2, 9, 15, 18, 31– 35]; for example, Singh et al. [ 35] reported significantly higher rates of revision TKA, at 5 years post-primary TKA in males.
The epidemiologic evidence of the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of the disease came from studies demonstrating higher rates of CD among individuals of Caucasian and Jewish ethnicity, familial aggregation of CD, and higher concordance rates of both twins developing CD in monozygotic compared to dizygotic twins.
Although this is in line with general population data demonstrating higher rates of completed suicide among Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal Australians [ 18], this result nevertheless contrasts with the findings of a previous study in the same prison system that found no relationship between Aboriginality and suicide attempts [ 19].
This conclusion is based on numerous studies demonstrating high rates of false positive and false negative serology.
We are unaware of other studies demonstrating high rates of unintended pregnancy in a population of young women that also has high seroincident HSV-2.
Campbell et al. previously reported on a series of 65 TKAs with 7.4-year followup demonstrating high rates of early femoral component loosening and failures [ 16].
Further studies should be undertaken to extend our analyses to Asian countries that are demonstrating high rates of streptococcal resistance (31 ).
It should be noted that our dropout rate is very consistent with that from other studies demonstrating high rates of attrition from pediatric weight management programs, ranging from 27 to 73% (29).
