Food groups and risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies
Summary risk ratios (RR s) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using a random effects model for highest versus lowest intake categories, as well as for linear and non-linear ...
Determinants of persistent organic pollutant (POP) concentrations in human breast milk of a cross-sectional sample of primiparous mothers in Belgium
contingency tables and multivariable generalized linear models. Results Fifteen of the 23 screened POP s were detected in the breast milk samples. Four organochlorine compounds (p,p′- DDT, p,p′- DDE, HCB and β- ...
Long-term outcomes of very low birth weight infants with spontaneous intestinal perforation: A retrospective case-matched cohort study
gastrointestinal outcome. McNemar’s and Wilcoxon tests were performed, and generalized linear models were computed. Results Forty-nine SIP patients were included. The percentages of children with multiple ...
Neonatal factors predictive for respiratory and gastro-intestinal morbidity after esophageal atresia repair
requiring dilatations, need for tube feeding for >100 days, severe tracheomalacia, severe chronic respiratory disease and death. We used linear models with a binomial distribution to determine risk factors ...
Personal exposure to traffic-related air pollutants and relationships with respiratory symptoms and oxidative stress: A pilot cross-sectional study among urban green space workers.
8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine [8- OH dG]). Associations between exposure and health outcomes were investigated using comparison tests and linear regression models, after stratification by present-day smoking status. Spatial ...
Personal exposure to traffic-related air pollutants and relationships with respiratory symptoms and oxidative stress: A pilot cross-sectional study among urban green space workers
respiratory/urinary biomarkers (exhaled nitric oxide [NO], 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine [8- OH dG]). Associations between exposure and health outcomes were investigated using comparison tests and linear regression models ...
Neonatal factors predictive for respiratory and gastro-intestinal morbidity after esophageal atresia repair.
death. We used linear models with a binomial distribution to determine risk factors for gastro-intestinal or respiratory complicated evolution and a backward stepwise elimination procedure to reduce models ...
Burden of salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis and listeriosis: a time series analysis, Belgium, 2012 to 2020.
(DALY s). The salmonellosis time series was fitted with a Bai and Perron two-breakpoint model, while a dynamic linear model was used for campylobacteriosis and a Poisson autoregressive model for ...
Multinomial additive hazard model to assess the disability burden using cross-sectional data.
maximize the multinomial log-likelihood function subject to a linear inequality constraint. Our simulation study indicates overall good performance of the model, without convergence problems. However, the ...
Effect of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis on FEV1 in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis: a European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry analysis.
of ABPA (main explanatory variable) on FEV1 while controlling for other prognostic factors, a linear mixed effects regression model was applied. RESULTS: In 2008, the mean (± SD) FEV1 percent predicted ...
