This continues the series of periodic general reports on cancer mortality in cohort A-bomb survivors followed by Radiation Effects Research Foundation. The follow-up is extended 5 years 1986-1990, and analysis includes an additional 10,500 with recently estimated radiation doses. Together these extensions add about 550,000 person-years follow-up. analyzed consists 86,572 subjects, which 60% have dose estimates at least 0.005 Sv. During 1950-1990 there been 3086 4741 deaths for less than...

The impact of microalbuminuria on mortality as well other risk factors was investigated in a 10‐year follow‐up study 503 predominantly non‐insulin‐dependent diabetic patients whom 265 had died. Using Cox's regression analysis the prognostic influence age, sex, age at diagnosis, known diabetes duration, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, relative weight, serum creatinine, retinopathy, and treatment evaluated morning urine albumin concentration (UAC) four categories, i.e. UAC 15 μg/ml...

The presence of random errors in the individual radiation dose estimates for A-bomb survivors causes underestimation effects dose-response analyses, and also distorts shape curves. Statistical methods are presented which will adjust these biases, provided that a valid statistical model estimation is used. Emphasis on clarifying some rather subtle issues. For most this development distinction between exposure not critical. proposed involve downward adjustment estimates, but does imply...

Methods: cohort Danish mothers giving birth a single child followed up for four months. Information on mother and baby including variables obtained from self-report questionnaire. Breastfeeding status subsequently monitored by health visitor. Results: total 471 (88%) participated, 98.7 % initiated breastfeeding after months 277 (59%) were still exclusive breastfeeding; 99 mothers,...

Summary The aim of the present study was to assess impact obesity and gestational weight gain on risk subtypes preterm birth, because little is known about these associations. included 62 167 women within Danish National Birth Cohort for whom self‐reported information prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) available. Information spontaneous birth with or without premature rupture membranes (PPROM) induced deliveries obtained from national registers. Cox regression analyses were used examine...

The authors conducted a cohort study within the Danish National Birth Cohort to determine whether coffee consumption during pregnancy is associated with late fetal death (spontaneous abortion and stillbirth). A total of 88,482 pregnant women recruited from March 1996 November 2002 participated in comprehensive interview on potentially confounding factors pregnancy. Information outcome was obtained Hospital Discharge Register medical records. detected 1,102 deaths. High levels were an...

Objective: Suboptimal conditions during pregnancy and birth have been suggested as a cause of infantile autism. We studied the association between obstetric factors Method: A population‐based, matched case–control study Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The risk autism increased for mothers aged >35 years, with foreign citizenship, who medicine pregnancy. higher seen among children low weight congenital...

In the first five-year period of Danish Testicular Carcinoma Study (DATECA) 1058 consecutive testicular germ cell tumours were examined. Of these, 554 seminomas comprising 515 typical type, 26 anaplastic and 13 spermatocytic; 497 non-seminomas 145 pure 352 mixed various types. Among subtypes embryonal carcinoma (EC) was recorded in 87 per cent, endodermal sinus tumour (yolk sac tumour; EST) 22 teratoma (T) 55 cent choriocarcinoma (CC) 17 cent. Only very few EST or CC. Five as 'others...

To identify and describe individual tooth-specific factors associated with the incidence or persistence of apical periodontitis (AP) in a general population.In 1997, 616 randomly selected individuals had full-mouth radiographic survey. In 2003, 77% participants returned for new examination. All teeth were assessed individually data recorded caries, marginal bone level, tooth restorations. Multiple logistic regression analyses performed to predictors AP individual. Conditional used risk...

In evidence-based health care, randomized clinical trials provide the most accurate and reliable information on effectiveness of an intervention. This project aimed to develop reporting guidelines, exclusively for in dental specialty Endodontology, using a well-documented, validated consensus-based methodology. The guidelines have been named Preferred Reporting Items RAndomized Trials Endodontics (PRIRATE) 2020. A total eight individuals (PD, VN, HD, LB, TK, JJ, EP SP), including leaders (PD...

The nasal mucus flow, lung function, subjective response, and psychometric performance of 16 young healthy subjects was studied during 6-h exposures to clean air 10, 40 or 100 ppm toluene under controlled conditions. did not affect flow function. At irritation experienced in the eyes nose. There a significant deterioration perceived quality increased odor level all toluene. test battery investigated visual perception, vigilance, psychomotor functions, higher cortical functions comprised...

OBJECTIVE. Our aim was to assess the incidence of cerebral palsy among children conceived with in vitro fertilization and without fertilization. METHODS. A population-based, cohort study, including all live-born singletons twins born Denmark between January 1, 1995, December 31, 2000, performed. Children (9255 children) were identified through In Vitro Fertilization Register; (394713) Danish Medical Birth Register. Cerebral diagnoses obtained from National Register Hospital Discharges.
