The reliability of the study questionnaire was substantial, with most outcomes within 70 - 100% reliability index.
When reporting most outcomes, numbers with denominators were given in 35 (45%), with no unaccounted numbers in 24 (31%), and no animals excluded from analysis in 20 (26%).
For most outcomes, associations with relative IDWG were relatively monotonic, whereas the association with absolute IDWG was less consistent and demonstrated threshold effects.
Acknowledging this, our findings are broadly consistent with previous studies which have demonstrated that while most outcomes improve with increasing time of follow-up, patterns of recovery were slower for those with work-related injuries [ 1- 4, 27].
Results indicated that for most outcomes associated with SCQ total score, the three sub-domains did not show any independent association above and beyond the variance they explained in common, although with a few exceptions.
42 60 61 For most outcomes, the association with area deprivation was quite similar to that with social class.
CONCLUSION: Although statistically significantly related to most outcomes in patients with STEMI including death and shock, body weight provided clinically relevant prognostic information only for the risk of major bleeding and of stroke.
Prospective cohort studies are the gold standard of epidemiological research and are highly applicable to the specific characteristics of the trauma population (i.e. they have a well defined onset and relatively short timeframe to the outcome, with most outcomes being evident during the hospital stay).
We did not corroborate this hypothesis because the correlations of neuroticism, its facets, and subjective well-being components with the outcomes were similar (except that depression that correlated higher with most outcomes).
In unadjusted analyses, most outcomes were worse among patients with SSI due to MRSA compared with patients with SSI due to MSSA (Table 2).
