Despite advances in cancer treatment, increases in incidence, mortality and morbidity are predicted as the population ages (Sternsward & Clark, 2004; World Health Organisation, 2006).
A poor prognosis and different types of morbidity are predicted by the presence of reduced mean muscle attenuation values in patients with these conditions; however, the biological features of muscle with these characteristics require further investigation.
No differences in perinatal or maternal morbidity were predicted.
Unadjusted analyses showed that psychiatric morbidity was predicted by high Performance-based self-esteem, Disengagement and Depression at 1st year, only the later remained significant in the adjusted analysis.
Such prolonged immune suppression in older adults, with worse pre-transplant co-morbidity scores, may be predicted to result in increased respiratory infections and/or ICU referral.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and is predicted to be the leading cause of death in the world [ 1].
Worsened mental health (SF-36-MCS) was predicted by co-morbidity (B = -2.2, p = 0.029), and the variance in change uniquely attributable to fracture was 0.215-0.195 = 0.02 = 2%) (Table 2).
Worsened physical health after two years was predicted by being a patient with hip fracture (B = -5.8, p < 0.001) and old age (B = -1.0, p = 0.015), while worsened mental health was predicted by co-morbidity (B = -2.2, p = 0.029).
4,7,8 The large number of women seen with preeclampsia, particularly recurrent, severe, and early-onset preeclampsia and eclampsia, is of particular concern to us because these conditions have a high mortality and morbidity, are impossible to predict, and their pathogenesis is still somewhat mysterious.
A wide span of cancer morbidities was also predicted, anywhere from 24 to 2,500, with a best estimate of 180.
It is important, but clinically difficult, to predict outcome which is why indicators for survival, complications and morbidity are wanted.
