We then compared the risk factors of cases in a spatial cluster identified by the SaTScan to those of cases outside of a cluster using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Table 1-wrap> compares known breast cancer risk factors of cases and controls.
Continuous monitoring of both shellfish commercialized in the region and risk factors of cases is advisable for the future.
In table 1, information is given on risk factors of cases (chronic diseases, obesity, pregnancy) during the two periods.
Distributions of demographic characteristics and potential risk factors of cases and controls were compared using the t-test for continuous variables and χ-test for categorical variables.
All reports were uniformly written (with background, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion sections) and included aggregate data on demographic, clinical, and social risk factors of cases, epidemiologic linkages, genotyping results, and contact investigations.
The factor analysis of cases revealed the presence of two factors (table 2).
The factor analysis of cases (varimax normalized rotation) revealed five factors (table 2).
These findings suggest that models that do not take the factors of case fatality rates, time preference and competing risks into account will overestimate the benefits of treatment in younger patients and may possibly underestimate the benefits in older people.
A model for air curtain cooling loss, one important performance factor of display cases, is proposed.
The effective multiplication factor of all cases approximately equalled unity in the equilibrium condition.
