Pump therapy was associated with a significantly lowered hazard ratio of between26%and44%44% for fatal/non-fatal coronary heart disease, fatal coronary heart disease, fatal cardiovascular disease, and all cause mortality.
Controls generally take expected signs (e.g. see Gregory and Klug, 2003; Gong, 2004), although coefficients are not always statistically significant: males have higher hazards; older parents have marginally lower hazards for PPS; immigrant PPP recipients have lower hazards; PPS recipients with more children have lower hazards; and the unemployment rate is negatively related to the hazard.
Again controls are either insignificant or take expected signs: males and younger parents have higher hazards; immigrants, those in high unemployment labour markets and those with more previous time in receipt of IS have lower hazards.
Other than partial sample preservation, this provides lower hazards to the analyst, owing to shorter sample handling time and lower probability of radioisotopes volatilization or their turning to aerosols.
When controlling for other LAHL risk factors, switch to zidovudine conferred 80% lower hazards of LAHL for this subgroup (HR 0.21, 95% CI 0.07 0.64, p = .006).006
Women have 55% lower hazards of alcohol-related death and 34% lower hazards of other preventable diseases than men (see Table S3).
In both groups, men had significantly higher hazard ratios (HR) than women, and married patients had lower hazards (P⩽0.01).
The propensity score analyses demonstrated slightly lower hazards associated with the use of statins and slightly narrower confidence intervals.
In fully adjusted models, compared with whites, most racial/ethnic groups had significantly lower hazards of MI.
Also, despite the overall lower hazards of cardiovascular disease, women had a somewhat higher hazard than men for developing cerebrovascular disease but not for heart failure.
