Male gender predicted better physical functioning in both analyses.
*= p < .05; **= p < .01; ***= p < .001 A younger age, employment and disability not associated with the nervous system predicted better physical functioning over time (p = 0.002, p = 0.023 and p = 0.019, respectively).
That is, clearer family roles and responsibilities (better family functioning) predicted better physical QOL.
GM also predicted better results for 2010.
Young age predicted better shift work tolerance.
The most straightforward explanation for their high insulin independence rate may be simply that better early β-cell function (conferred by transplanting more islets) predicts better late islet function.
25 Duration of time after transplant did not predict better or poorer function, but this could be because the median follow-up time was 16 years and our study was not designed to be sensitive to early post-transplant changes in physical stamina and return to regular life activities.
Finally, acceptance of pain predicts better adjustment on measures of patient functioning than perceived pain intensity does, which continues to be true even when pain intensity is factored out (see [ 14, 15] for review papers on this subject).
Preserved cognitive function may also predict better patient outcome.
Hence, DPYD CNVs may function as a surrogate marker predicting better clinical outcome upon radio- and chemotherapy.
