In order to resolve undetermined ratios, frequencies equal to 0 were artificially set to 10 9.
One patient was excluded since MBC: MIC ratio was undetermined.
Comparisons of age-specific ratios of undetermined injury deaths to suicide deaths revealed radically different patterns.
Four countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, and South Africa) were excluded because of probable substantial miscoding of suicides, indicated by the low rates of certified suicide and high ratios of undetermined death to suicide.
95% CI: confidence interval, OR: odds ratio, ASCUS: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, SIL: squamous intraepithelial lesions.
However, a detailed examination of the quality of data on suicide assessed data from all 31 European Economic Area countries using the ratio of codes for suicide and undetermined cause (Tenth Revision International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes X60-X84 and Y10-Y34 Y10-Y34tively), concluding that Grespectivelyof only 12 concludingthateet the quality benchmark.
As might be expected, some related conditions had similar sex rate ratios, that of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and myeloma, for example, being identical (1·4; 95% CI, 1·2 1·6).
Nevertheless, mortality related to undetermined diagnosis in this study suggests to reappraise the risk benefit ratio for these high-risk patients.
Medically certified absences were associated with mortality from suicide (ICD-9 code E95, ICD-10 codes X60-X84) or external cause of undetermined intent (ICD-9 E98, ICD-10 Y10-Y34) (six deaths, hazard ratio 6.9, 1.2 to 39.1).
HPV: Human papillomavirus; HR: High-risk; MFI: Median fluorescence intensity; GEE: Generalized estimating equation; OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval; ASCUS+: Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance or worse cytology.
