The total direct medical costs of salvage treatment and palliative care from the time of distant recurrence to time of death in Japan is ¥4,710,584 [ 22], representing an annual cost after recurrence equal to ¥2,405,924.
Third, in multivariate analysis, we found that young age (less than 40 years) was associated with a risk of local recurrence of 1.89 times that of older women.
Assessment included complications, pain and spinal claudication, neurodeficit, time to recurrence of symptoms, and time to second surgery.
These morphological patterns have some clinical implications, such as risk of recurrence, time to recurrence after surgical resection and time to progression to invasive disease.
Twenty four patients were asymptomatic with no clinical signs of recurrence at time of exam.
The results of these existing studies suggest that along with the incidence of sickness absence related to mental disorders, the length and recurrence (ie, frequency of recurrence and time between recurrence) of these sickness absences should be areas of concern.
A total of 128 patients (26.5%) had evidence of tumor recurrence at time of urine marker testing.
In contrast, presence of a recurrence, time to recurrence in months, degree of equinus at recurrence and number of treatments by external fixation were statistically different (P < 0.01) with the exception for time to recurrence (Table 1) (Fig. 3).
It will be important for research in other countries to look at the length and sickness absence recurrence (ie, frequency of recurrence and time between recurrences) of sickness absences.
Similarly, for the measures of focus (recurrence time of checking and number of stops before returning to check), their correlation coefficient was strong and higher than any correlation with a measure of vigor, except for one correlation, i.e. recurrence time of checking with frequency of checking, which was somewhat stronger than the correlation of the within-focus measures (0.488 vs. 0.410).
