Evidence-based life expectancy.
A large amount of research literature shows that persons with severe neurological injuries, whether from cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord injury, are subject to greater mortality rates than persons of the same age and sex in the general population.

In this study, correlation coefficient were used to be ablo determine linear relationships between paired socio-economic variables. And also, regression analysis used for identification o...
متن کاملLife expectancy difference and life expectancy ratio: two measures of treatment effects in randomised trials with non-proportional hazards
The hazard ratio (HR) is the most common measure of treatment effect in clinical trials that use time-to-event outcomes such as survival. When survival curves cross over or separate only after a considerable time, the proportional hazards assumption of the Cox model is violated, and HR can be misleading. We present two measures of treatment effects for situations where the HR changes over time:...
متن کاملThe Price of Progress: Modern Environmental Health Hazards in Africa
Recent studies suggest that men’s capacity for sperm production may be harmed by toxic exposures in both fetal and later life. Among the potential chemical culprits are the perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), highly persistent degradation products of the polyfluorinated compounds used in products including nonstick cookware and water-resistant coatings for carpeting, clothing, and other textiles. Fin...
