Although these observational data cannot establish causality, consumption of diet soda at least daily was associated with significantly greater risks of select incident metabolic syndrome components and type 2 diabetes.
Potential asphyxiation suicides were identified by selecting incidents where manner of death was suicide and the primary method used to inflict the injury was coded "hanging, strangulation, or suffocation".
The Columbia researchers noted though that most of the events in their sample had only very few casualties - a consequence of the fact that by randomly sampling events for their study they mainly selected incidents during the period 2006-2007 where by far the most SIGACT events were recorded.
The series is "based on" Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel of the same name, which is to say, it lifts a setting, a couple of characters, several names, selected incidents, odd details and occasional passages of prose from the book and makes something almost entirely different out of them.
To verify that the Framingham risk score was applicable in our cohort, we calculated the PC-based HeartScore for 50 randomly selected incident RA cases and 50 controls.
Thus, meta-analysis was only possible for measures of cognitive impairment (i.e. MCI, all-cause dementia, AD, VaD) from which we selected incident AD as the most comparable outcome across studies.
For this study, we have used three independent cohorts in which we have selected incident breast cancer cases compared to matched cancer-free controls in a nested case-control study design.
For this longitudinal cohort study, we selected incident ESRD patients on maintenance dialysis who began renal replacement therapy between 1 January 1999 and 31 December 2005 from outpatient claims (n = 51,794) (Supplementary Fig. 1).
We used a risk set sampling method to prospectively select 1,000 incident CHD events and 1,000 matched controls.
We selected the incidents that occurred OOH and were related to handover of information or job allocation.
