3. Liu Y, Huang H, Zeng J, Sun C. Thyroid volume, goiter prevalence, and selenium levels in an iodine-sufficient area: a cross-sectional study.
The rationale is that the prostate volume and prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia increase rapidly after 60 years of age.
Notably, no significant differences were found in LVEF, left atrial end systolic volume, or prevalence of diastolic dysfunction between patients with and without diabetes.
These conditions were chosen based on the following criteria: high financial volume, high prevalence of the condition, existence of validated measures for its assessment, high variability of process and outcomes in the literature, and coverage of different types of patients and specialists.
Volumes and prevalence of MRSA in the disease states of interest were extracted from several large surveys available in the public domain (table 1).
"We knew that by the volume and the prevalence [of disease-carrying mosquitoes] in our traps".
As hospital volume increased, the prevalence fell in gastrointestinal bleeding, but increased in ICU admission, organ failure and local complication.
Using a population-based cohort of elderly individuals residing in France, we examined the cross-sectional association between WML volume and RLS prevalence.
We also found that MetS influences tear secretion volume, since the prevalence of lacrimal gland hypofunction in the MetS group (34.0%) was approximately twofold that of the non-MetS group.
Reduced femoral head cartilage volume and increased prevalence of cartilage defects and BMLs are seen in people with diagnosed hip OA compared with those without a diagnosis of hip OA.
Contrary, a previous case control study showed that in middle-aged T1DM patients without or with mild microvascular complications (mostly background retinopathy), increased aortic stiffness was related to lower total brain white matter volume and increased prevalence of white matter hyperintensities, i.e. ischemic brain damage [ 21, 22].
