However, residence was no longer a significant factor in the multiple regression model (table 3), suggesting that the rural urban difference in the fatality rate may be explained by the differences in age, education level, occupation and method preference between rural and urban attempters.
Because the UKPDS risk engine used fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction or sudden death as its end point, it is possible that changes in mortality between men and women could differ even if changes in incidence were similar because of differences in the case-fatality rate.
After adjusting for all other variables, no days showed significant differences in the odds of fatality, with Friday being associated with a slightly, but not significantly increased risk of death for those involved in MVCs (AOR = 1.28, 95% CI, 0.79 – 2.10.79
The differences in case fatality ratios are a reliable indicator of quality of care.
We used national mortality data to identify deaths from both GP and SMR data sets, so discrepancies in recording of death between GP and hospital are unlikely to explain the differences in case fatality rates observed.
Our purpose is to learn about differences in the work injury and fatality rates experienced by workers according to nativity in Spain during the 2001 2010 decade, how the latter may have been impacted by the recession, and some of the potential explanations for the observed pattern.
We found significant temporal and geographic differences in the influenza-related case fatality ratios.
This paper investigates the perceived differences in the value of preventing a fatality in urban vs. rural areas.
It is not clear whether the differences in fatality rate between these two countries are related to differences in molecular attributes of the prevalent H5N1 strains in each country, or environmental conditions and/or timing of the diagnosis and/or treatment options and regimes.
To determine differences in case fatality rates between children with and without Down syndrome.
