Nomogram for estimating specific consanguinity risks.
Consanguinity is an important problem in medical genetics because it significantly influences morbidity risks for recessive disorders. Genetic counsellors manage this problem in very simple terms according to Mendelian rules but without considering the theory of inbreeding in full. Consequently, the severity of specific recessive genetic risks is not accurately estimated. The purpose of this pa...
متن کاملA competing-risks nomogram for sarcoma-specific death following local recurrence.
The majority of staging systems focus on the definition of stage, and, therefore, prediction of prognosis. In the current era of clinical trial research, it has become apparent that the clinical stage alone is not sufficient to assess patient risk of treatment failure. As the number of biological markers increases, our ability to partition the traditional disease classification system improves,...
متن کاملNomogram for estimating glomerular filtration rate in elderly people.
After the second decade of life, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases progressively. There is still considerable debate about the importance of this "physiological decrease" in GFR with age in many situations attributed to the effects of concomitant hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases (among others) observed in the elderly. The GFR is considered the best indicator o...
متن کاملRisks in estimating risk.
The paper by Vikhireva and colleagues is a timely reminder that one size does not fit all when estimating the risk of cardiovascular death. The authors examined the performance of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk estimation system SCORE in the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, and Russia, using data from the mid 1980s (MONICA) and early 2000s (HAPIEE)....
متن کاملIdentifying and Estimating Risks
The estimation of risk is concerned with collection information on: (1) The nature and extent of the source; (2) The chain of events, pathways and processes that connect the cause to the effects; and (3) The relationship between the characteristics of the impact (dose) and the types of response (effects). Although response and effects are often equated or used synonymously, the World Health Org...
