In many cases publications reported on the results for a specific sequelae and it was not possible to determine if other sequelae were absent, were not evaluated, or were evaluated but not reported.
The aged brain exhibits a loss in gray matter and a decrease in spines and synaptic densities that may represent a sequela for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Incidence for all sequelae is shown in Fig. 1.
For the sequelae that underwent meta-analysis, this could lead to deflated estimates and narrow confidence intervals for the proportion of cases of Campylobacter that develop a sequela.
YLLs are computed by multiplying the number of deaths at each age x by a standard life expectancy at age x [28], and YLDs are the product of prevalence times the DW for a particular disease sequelae [3].
In addition, many studies [ 1, 6, 9, 15] also report that the COHb level was not a predictor for neurologic sequelae.
For example, studies using a broader definition for a Campylobacter case would result in higher case numbers and a lower proportion for the sequela estimate versus a study with a more stringent definition for a Campylobacter case.
Three hundred and fifty-four records were identified and searched manually for the operative indications, to select the patients with an arthrodesis performed for the painful sequelae of an intra-articular calcaneal fracture.
Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that Doppler velocimetry in the umbilical artery is a reliable predictor for neurological sequelae when ARED flow is present but cannot be considered a good predictor of intellectual performance at school.
Notably, a study from India found evidence of a higher risk for chronic sequelae among obese persons who acquired chikungunya (26 ).
