We described the distributions of hypothesized variables among participants, using simple descriptive statistics, and the associations between hypothesized risk factors and Candida colonization using odds ratios (OR) and Cornfield 95% confidence intervals (CI).
We present hypothesized risk factors for aggressor, victim, and nursing home environment, including issues surrounding cognitive impairment.
One hypothesized risk factor for anxiety is heightened responses to sensory input.
Additionally, using a forced entry strategy, the a priori hypothesized risk factors were also entered into the multivariable model.
Follow up visits at weeks 4, 12, and 24 after hospital discharge assess hypothesized risk factors for opioid addiction and opioid use disorder diagnosis.
"Stigma is one of the most frequently hypothesized risk factors for explaining sexual orientation disparities in suicide outcomes," Mark L. Hatzenbuehler, a Columbia University professor not involved in the study, wrote in an editorial that was published alongside it.
Additionally, Autism Speaks said that "the proven benefits of vaccinating a child to protect them against serious diseases far outweigh the hypothesized risk that vaccinations might cause autism.
In all regression models risk factors were explored using univariable regression analysis and were retained in the multivariable model based on forward selection; hypothesized risk factors were included and confounders were retained based on univariable P<0.2.
A sample size of 922 cases and 922 controls was determined to be sufficient to achieve 80% power (with a design effect of 2 used to account for single-level cluster sampling), with an odds-ratio >2 for the hypothesized risk factor of missing 5 doses prior to default, estimated to occur among 5% of non-defaulter controls.
Though social deprivation is a hypothesized risk factor for disease, we observed lower rates of visits to the emergency department and outpatient clinics for influenza from more socially deprived populations, a finding which may be explained by reduced infection exposure opportunities.
