We used decedents' residential addresses as the indicator of vulnerable places because a) they represent the social and ecological contexts of many daily activity spaces, b) they are consistent with other studies of neighborhood effects on social and health outcomes, and c) the place of injury address on death certificates is not consistently coded for heat-related deaths.
All programs consider the needs of vulnerable populations identifying indicators of vulnerability, and thus also addressing inequities in MCH.
Initially, 82 indicators for care of vulnerable older adults with cognitive impairment or dementia were submitted to the panellists.
Medical record review will use quality indicators for care of vulnerable older adults with falls and mobility disorders [ 22], for which benchmark data from non-VA sites are available [ 23].
Validating the SVS [ 17] could clarify the contribution of psychological well-being to the buffering role in coping with stress, the positive effect of interventions on disease course, and serve as an indicator of those vulnerable to depression [ 19].
So sRAGE, know maker of chronic activation as expression of a process that repeats over time in stable CAD, may be also considered an indicator of destabilization of vulnerable plaque in ACS.
In conclusion, this study confirm the role of sRAGE in activation and progression of inflammatory process and suggests the possibility that sRAGE can be considered an indicator of destabilization of vulnerable plaque.
In conclusion, this study shows association between acute coronary event and lower value of soluble RAGE which confirms the role of sRAGE in the activation and progression of inflammatory process and suggests the possibility that sRAGE can be considered an indicator of destabilization of vulnerable plaque.
The validity of biochemical indicators is vulnerable to the problems of nutrient homeostatic mechanisms, bioavailability, time integration, medical condition, genetic backgrounds, and types of analytic procedures [ 11].
