In apparently equivalent high-risk states of diabetes and prior CHD, the benefit of aspirin in reducing risk of myocardial infarction has been believed to outweigh uncommon bleeding complications and yield a net average expected benefit.
Patients exposed to a cumulative dose of ≥300 mg/m2 of doxorubicin (or its equivalent) are considered high risk for developing ACIC.
In view of the perceived absence of an equivalent deferral relating to high risk heterosexual practices, the MSM donor deferral was described as "unfair" and, by some, "discriminatory".
Subjects from PREDICT were eligible if they had a history of chest pain, suspected anginal-equivalent symptoms, or a high risk of CAD with no known prior MI, revascularization, or CAD.
Taking these limitations into account, the hotline potentially identified an estimated cohort of persons at high risk for SARS equivalent to 9.5% of the 190 suspected and probable SARS cases reported in Taiwan in the same 10-day period.
Ten percent of the animals from farms in the low risk cohort were found to shed cysts within 49 days of age while an equivalent percentage in the moderate and high risk groups become infected within 35 and 27 days, respectively (the 90% percentile of the survival function).
High risk (>11 %) was equivalent to the post-test probability providing LR larger than 2, whereas low risk (<3 %) was that providing LR smaller than 0.5 (i.e., 2−1).
Therefore, patients with diabetes are considered to be at high risk for CHD events, equivalent to the risk seen in patients with documented vascular disease [ 3, 10].
"We know that below a blood level of, say, 30nmol/litre, there is a high risk of rickets and its adult equivalent, osteomalacia," says Kay-Tee Khaw, of the University of Cambridge's department of public health and primary care.
