Short-Term Usage Time and Rate of CPAP Predict Long-Term CPAP Adherence in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease associated with various morbidities worldwide.
Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the cornerstone of therapy, adherence to CPAP directly affects
its efficacy. Methods: We retrospectively investigated consecutive patients who were diagnosed with OSA and placed on CPAP the-
rapy within an approximate ten-year period. Using patient characteristics and short-term usage, the predictors of adhe-
rence to CPAP were evaluated.
Adverse Drug Events and Predictors of One Year Survival among Adult Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in a Kenyan Tertiary Health Facility
Treatment of acute myeloid leukemia is a challenge because of the adverse drug events associated with therapy and the heterogeneous nature of the subtypes. Research on improving overall survival of patients based on different regimens, reduction of adverse dug events, clinical characteristics and the type of acute myeloid leukemia is critical.
Social Predictors of Domestic Violence against Married Men: The Case of Mashhad (Iran)
One of the most important social phenomenon regard to family issues is domestic violence against men
Role of Bilirubin and Albumin in Cord Blood as Predictors for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is observed during the first week of life in approximately 60% of term infants and 80% of preterm infants. The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of cord blood bilirubin and albumin in identifying neonates for subsequent hyperbilirubinemia. Cord blood samples (3ml) were collected from all newborns that complied with the protocol inclusion criteria. The samples were sent for the assaying of total, unconjugated, conjugated bilirubin, albumin levels and baby’s blood group and rhesus
factor.
Predictors of Delayed Diagnosis and Evolution in Sub-Saharan Immigrants with HIV Infection in a Hospital in Madrid (2004–2013)
The aim of this study was to analyze the delayed diagnosis and evolution of HIV infection in predominantly sub-Saharan immigrants compared to other patients in a hospital in Madrid between 2004 and 2013. We retrospectively analyzed new HIV diagnoses. Late presentation or advanced disease were considered the presence of CD4 lymphocyte counts less than 350 or 200 cells/µl at diagnosis, respectively, or an AIDS-defining disease regardless of the CD4 count. Patients were compared according to their origin and sex.
Psychosocial Predictors of Consistent Condom Use among Female Sex Workers in an Urban Setting of Cameroon
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is largely linked to high-risk populations such as female sex workers (FSWs). Therefore,
behavioural interventions targeting FSWs, need to address inconsistent condom use among them. The aim of this study was to assess
the psychosocial predictors of consistent condom use among FSWs in an urban own of Cameroon.
Predictors of Stress Fracture Susceptibility in Arab Female Military Recruits during Combat Training: A Preliminary Study
Military recruits and athletes regularly engaging in vigorous physical activities are at increased risk for sustaining lower limb overuse injuries.
Age Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index: Predictor of 90-Day Mortality after Radical Cystectomy
To evaluate the impact of age adjusted Charlson’s comorbidity index (ACCI) in predicting 90-day mortality in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) in a low volume center.
Anthropometric Predictors for Multiple Risk Factor Aggregation in Adults from Maracaibo City
There are several anthropometric measures that are useful for diagnosis obesity and also are related to the development of different cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive ability of various anthropometric parameters for the multiple risk factors aggregation (MRFA) in the adult population of the city of Maracaibo-Venezuela.
Predictors of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Risk among Blacks with Metabolic Syndrome
Identification of risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is important to enable comprehensive intervention to reduce OSA-related cardiovascular disease (CVD). The metabolic syndrome outcome study (MetSO) provides a unique opportunity to address these factors. This study investigated risk of OSA among blacks with metabolic syndrome.
