However, the underlying causes of changes in spatial patterns of DF need further investigation.
The limitations of the present retrospective study include not having analysed the underlying causes of changes in glycaemia and blood pressure, be they intensified insulin therapy, concurrent systemic illness, progression of nephropathy with secondary arterial hypertension, intervention against nephropathy leading to a decrease in blood pressure, etc.
The underlying cause of the changes is not known, although they result directly from increased penetration of southerly winds into the polar regions.
Australia's crisis shows that, paradoxically, demand for action on climate change is likely to grow, both to address pollution, the underlying cause of climate change, but also the consequences of inaction.
The codes and the rules for coding the underlying cause of death changed with the introduction of ICD-10 codes for mortality data in 2000 and we have assumed that any effect of this would be similar for women with and without endometrial cancer.
However, as data on communicable diseases were available weekly for the six county districts within Cumbria only from 1975 onwards, and the World Health Organisation rule for coding the underlying cause of death changed in 1993 (Rooney and Devis, 1996), analysis was restricted to children born during 1975 92.
However, it could not be verified that these specific compounds were the underlying cause of the observed changes in mutagenic activity.
Therefore, although we cannot be certain that the ST-segment shifts of ≥ 1 mm truly represent ischemia, it is very likely that this was the underlying cause of the repolarization changes.
It treats the underlying cause of menopause-related vaginal changes by helping to replenish the vagina's lost estrogen.
Of importance for this study, coding rules and rules for selecting the underlying cause of death have been changed in the ICD-10 system [ 13].
On this date, underlying cause of death coding was changed in England and Wales from ICD-9 to ICD-10, which could have biased our estimates by producing artefactual jumps in mortality from certain diseases: compared to ICD-10, ICD-9 coding rules tended to ascribe more deaths to myocardial infarction and pneumonia and fewer to stroke.
