Heterogeneity in effect estimates persisted across each of the six risk markers examined when stratifying by study design, quality assessment score, type of substances used, and whether the study examined fatal overdose or fatal and non-fatal overdose (not shown).
Similar risk estimates persisted when the analysis was restricted to individuals with BMI<25 or non-diabetics (metabolic syndrome defined as any three of the remaining four components).
These differences in risk estimates persisted after adjustment for the amount of coal used, time spent indoors, type of ventilation, active and passive tobacco exposure, and other potential risk factors in this population.
A recent meta-analysis of 25 prospective studies reported a twofold higher risk of liver cancer among men and women with diabetes (15); risk estimates persisted after controlling for alcohol intake, cirrhosis, and viral hepatitis B or C infection.
Although our data also showed an increased risk estimate that persisted more than 10 years after pancreatitis diagnosis, the effect was not different from chance possibly due to the limited number of study participants in this category.
And the myth of the World Trade Center Orphans -- as many as 15,000 of them, according to some estimates -- persisted for weeks, despite evidence that the city had not turned up a single case of a child who lost both parents in the attacks.
We show that the self-improving nature of Poincaré estimates persists for domains in rather general measure spaces.
Furthermore, several developing regions of the world were not included in these estimates, and the need to produce model-based estimates would persist.
In this analysis, the association of global cognition with discounting persisted (estimate = −0.54, SE = 0.20, p = 0.007).
Will the estimated impacts persist over longer periods of time – especially after workers change jobs or even industries?
