To ensure that our results are not affected by baseline renal function and other important predictors of renal outcomes, such as blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion we performed a sensitivity analysis in which we matched patients based on their propensity score of developing serum potassium ≥5.0 mmol/l.
As a result of these metabolic aberrations, the end result is delayed soft tissue and bone healing, failure of orthopedic hardware and propensity for developing infection.
Some genetic test results are predictive and confirm a propensity for or certainty of developing a condition prior to actually developing it (e.g. Huntington's disease, various cancers).
The vulnerability of this age group and heightened propensity for developing anemia has been consistently reported in other studies [ 19].
Chondrosarcoma is characterized for its lack of response to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, propensity for developing lung metastases, and poor survival.
Excessive use of the Internet is known to increase the propensity for developing online addictive behaviours [ 5, 6].
We computed a propensity score, which predicted the probability of developing AKI conditional on the observed baseline covariates, using multivariable logistic regression.
Working with dachshunds and other dwarf canine breeds, which often suffer from spinal cord injuries because of their propensity to develop herniated discs, he recently won a grant from the Department of Defense, which is interested in the application of his research to battlefield injuries.
Similarly, Lolium rigidum, a type of ryegrass that was introduced deliberately into Australia as a vigorous pastureland grass for livestock, "is now a major-league pain in the neck for Australian arable farmers" because of its propensity to develop herbicide resistance.
In addition, clinical studies affirm a correlation of circulating markers of inflammation with propensity to develop ischemic events and with prognosis after acute coronary syndromes [ 13, 14].
