Among those without A1 alleles (A1−), long DRD4 alleles (L+) were associated with decreased SSS-Total, but the reverse was true among those with A1 alleles (A1+).
Finally, we found that three preoperative factors, age ≥ 70 years, creatinine ≥ 12 mg/L, and C reactive protein ≥ 50 mg/L were associated with prognosis.
We found that 25(OH D levels below 50 nMol/L were associated with obesity risk (OR 2.25[1.05-3.95], CI 95%) but not with risk of impaired glucose metabolism (1.07[0.54-2.12],CI95%).
The relationship between water As (measured continuously) and Full-Scale raw score is illustrated in Figure 2. Water As concentrations of 10 and 50 μg/L were associated with decrements in Full-Scale raw scores of 3.8 and 6.4 points, respectively.
In this study, serum 25(OH D concentrations less than 50 nmol/L compared with more than 72 nmol/L were associated with an increased risk of distant recurrence and death.
Although levels higher than 75.0 nmol/L were associated with a reduced colorectal cancer risk, the association was not significant compared with the mid-range concentration.
In a multivariable model, older age, hemoglobin level <9 g/dl, white blood cell count of less than 3500/mm3, and platelet count of less than 100 × 109/L <span class="lh">were associated with a significantly higher risk of MDS.
Baseline CRP levels >29 mg/L were associated with higher in-ICU mortality.
Moreover, NSE measured at all individual days predicted also 12 month survival (P < 0.001); NSE values > 365 mcg/l were associated with death at 12 months with 100%% specificity.
In a heterogeneous population of septic patients, blood lactate values, with a threshold of 4 mmo/l, were associated with in-hospital mortality but the predictive value was poor (reported AUC under the ROC curves = 0.56).
Recently, it was shown that not only low ICU admission plasma glutamine levels (<420 µmol/L), but also high plasma glutamine levels (>930 µmol/L) were associated with increased 6-month mortality, suggesting a U-shaped relation between plasma glutamine and 6-month mortality [20].
