Reported recent morbidity, type of illness and outpatient treatment were similar among insured and uninsured women.
Notably, various other factors should be taken into consideration when evaluating individual mutation carriers' individual circumstances, namely woman's age, morbidity, type of mutation, and individual preferences and expectations.
Data collection included general characteristics, family history, consanguinity, diagnosis, morbidity (type of infections, frequency and severity of infections, and other symptoms like autoimmunity and failure to thrive), laboratory data, (antimicrobial) treatments, and mortality.
Chi-square (Fisher's exact) tests were performed to test for infection differences with regard to gender, race, location of laceration, mechanism of injury, co-morbidities, type of anesthesia and type of suture material used.
Co-morbidity, type of surgery, treatment assignment and sociodemographic factors showed a statistically significant impact in post-menopausal patients only.
Patients with AF differ in terms of underlying co-morbidity, type of AF and their perception of symptoms during AF [ 14- 16].
Demographic profile, primary & other co-morbidities, type of catheter, indication and duration of catheterization, details of surgical procedure performed, antibiotic prophylaxis and therapy were noted.
From the cross-sectional data at baseline, we hypothesise that HRQoL differs between patients according to: sex, ethnicity, co-morbidities, type of dialysis treatment, health service satisfaction, costs, family support and duration of dialysis.
From longitudinal data in Years 2 and 3, we hypothesise that: HRQoL is positively associated with survival and that the HRQoL trajectory will differ between patients of different sex, ethnicity, co-morbidities, type of dialysis, availability of family and community support and duration of dialysis.
To correct for differences in patient characteristics, we simultaneously included age, gender, SAPS II score on admission, co-morbidities, type of admission (medical or surgical), infection on admission, mechanical ventilation on admission, renal replacement therapy on admission (hemofiltration or hemodialysis), renal failure on admission, and creatinine level on admission.
Clinical data, including demographic features, co-morbidities, types of infection, locations of acquisition, and healthcare-associated risk factors, were obtained by reviewing the patients' medical records.
