Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) offer an adaptive immune system that protects bacteria and archaea from nucleic acid invaders through an RNA-mediated nucleic acid cleavage mechanism. Our knowledge of...
High blood pressure is a major determinant of risk for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke, leading causes of death in the industrialized world. A myriad of pharmacological treatments for elevated blood pressure, defined as a blood...
In this paper we are interested in predicting death with the underlying cause of coronary heart disease (CHD). There are two prognostic modeling methods used to predict CHD: the logistic model and the proportional hazard model. For this...
The generalized linear model and particularly the logistic model are widely used in public health, medicine, and epidemiology. Goodness-of-fit tests for these models are popularly used to describe how well a proposed model fits a set of...
Risk prediction plays an important role in clinical medicine. It not only helps in educating patients to improve life style and in targeting individuals at high risk, but also guides treatment decisions. So far, various instruments have...
We are interested in differences between risk models based on Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) incidence, or morbidity, compared to risk models based on CHD death. Risk models based on morbidity have been developed based on the Framingham...
Studies have suggested that diabetes is a stronger risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) in women than in men. We present a meta-analysis of person-level data from 42 cohort studies in which diabetes, CHD mortality and potential...
