In particular, areas with higher deprivation may have issues such as limited availability of or access to healthy foods and health care, higher environmental pollution, and lack of social networks that might also impact mortality risk independently of the characteristics of the people living in those areas [35].
A large change in temperature might impact on mortality, whether it is positive or negative, because the automatic thermoregulation system cannot adapt to sudden temperature change, particularly for people with certain medical conditions.
Other variables were included because we believed they might impact either patient mortality or hospital length of stay (e.g., marital status, priority group [a surrogate for socioeconomic status], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tobacco use, alcohol abuse or dependence, substance abuse or dependence, any organ failure, multiple organ failure, or sepsis).
The presented model explores how varying the rate of forager bee mortality might impact colony growth, which may be a useful tool to aid research into the complex problem of colony failure.
The observed differences in BC incidence and mortality by geography may be an indication that differential spatial access to timely and appropriate care might impact cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and mortality rates in this Caribbean setting.
It's all starker in the young adult cancer community – we're often younger than our waiting room comrades by decades, our friends and lovers have little personal experience with confronting mortality, and we have to consider how treatment might impact fertility.
Since gender and classification technique might impact outcome and reporting, we investigated their effect on revascularization patterns and mortality.
The same-sex twin model is the most optimal to study the connection between mortality and LTL because it controls for genes, rearing environment, sex and age, all of which might impact LTL.
Because smoking is the leading behavioral risk factor contributing to social disparities in the incidence and mortality of disease [ 6- 10], there is a critical need to understand how difficulty with HL might impact smoking cessation outcomes.
We also hypothesized that a lower use of invasive cardiac procedures might impact on the use of anti-ischemic medications, emergency room and outpatient physician visits, readmissions for AMI-related complications and mortality.
