The same pill was associated with ischemic stroke occurrence in a further report, but in this case the pill had been taken the day before stroke onset making more possible a causal relationship [112].
The aim of the exploratory analysis is to gain more insight into possible causal relations between the rate of success of the intervention components and the outcomes.
I continue to join him and others in urgently requesting much more study of the possible causal link between vaccines and autism.
The study, however, is designed as a prospective cohort study and future data will make it more appropriate for us to examine possible causal mechanisms linking different work-environment factors and health status among ambulance personnel more precisely.
Imputation can be used to increase the search space for possible causal variants, sometimes identifying more statistically significant associations, but more importantly expanding the list of possible causal variants in the vicinity of the initial tagging SNP [ 8].
21 Our study consisted, respectively, of 10 and 9 years of daily data from Greece and Victoria, and 41 years of monthly data from Norway, which enabled us to validate our aggregated findings and illuminate possible causal pathways through more detailed analyses.
In addition to longitudinal studies addressing possible causal relationship between shift work and cardiovascular disease, more studies are needed to investigate possible sub-populations among shift workers who have an elevated risk for developing cardiovascular disease.
Nevertheless, there was a possible causal relationship in that physicians with higher confidence were more adherent to the practice guideline [ 11, 20, 22, 23].
Finally, the possible causal genes were located if they have one or more SNPs, preferably non-synonymous ones, in reasonably strong LD with any of the SNPs with novel associations.
The use of a more distantly related affected individual in the analysis will decrease the number of possible causal variants because a distantly related person shares less DNA with the two affected individuals in the trio.
