However, at 3 and 5 years follow-up, we do see increase in mortality with increasing BMI levels likely related to increase in the burden of cardiovascular events.
A random-effects meta-analysis demonstrated significantly higher odds of mortality with increasing BMI in endometrial cancer patients.
Trends in absolute mortality related to temperature were also age-dependent, with older ages having increased rates of mortality with increasing temperatures (Table 3).
Castillo-Lorente et al. [22] were unable to demonstrate a statistically significant increase in ICU mortality with increasing peak TISS-28-to-nurse ratios.
Studies have shown that thrombocytopenia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, however there is limited evidence showing increasing mortality with increasing severity of thrombocytopenia.
After adjustment for age, severity of disease and other covariates, delirium was associated with a 2.5-fold increase in short-term mortality, and there was a dose-response increase in mortality with increasing duration of delirium.
However, forest-averaged mortality decreased with increasing temperature below 10°C and increasing mortality with increasing temperature above 15°C.
While our results demonstrate an essentially linear decrease in AMI and OHD mortality with increasing alcohol consumption, there have been other reports indicating that this decreasing trend eventually begins to reverse.
Although several species followed this pattern, many others showed the opposite trend of decreasing mortality with increasing radiation, in agreement with many other studies linking light to survival (e.g. [57] [59]).
The present study does not allow us to determine whether mortality in these hybrids is a consequence of interactions among many loci, or increasing probability of mortality with increasing numbers of independent DMIs.
Previous investigators have shown increases in mortality with increasing frailty.
