Vascular calcification and bone fracture are known to dramatically increase mortality in dialysis patients.
It has been shown that arrhythmias related to hypoglycaemia and excessive glycemic variability dramatically increases mortality in pts.
Subsequently, in the same model, the suppression of fever by an injection of sodium salicylate was demonstrated to dramatically increase mortality [ 36].
Last but not least we did exclude patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation The combination of iLA treatment with acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy dramatically increases mortality.
Large frugivores such as tapirs and peccaries are known to cause heavy localised disturbance, dramatically increase mortality of seedlings and saplings [ 30- 33], and consume and disperse seeds [ 34, 35].
Although vitamin A deficiency was known to cause blindness in many developing countries, Sommer showed in 1983 that it also dramatically increased child mortality from other, more serious diseases.

It has been shown that home range restriction by fencing in savannah elephants may lead to local overpopulation, increased local feeding intensity and habitat degradation [16], while continued wide ranging in the face of human encroachment may dramatically increase direct mortality from illegal killing [14].
For example, survival from ≥21 days flooding was strongly temperature dependent, whereby at 15°C there was relatively little change in egg mortality at longer durations, but at 25°C mortality dramatically increased, especially for eggs inundated late in development (table 1).
