Contribution of chronic conditions to disability in men and women in France

problems (global activity limitation indicator). Additive regression models were fitted separately by gender to estimate the contribution of conditions to disability taking into account multi-morbidity. ...

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.

until only significant variables remained in the model. Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess risk factors for different evolutions of complication. Model parameter estimates were used to ...

Decreasing rates of major lower-extremity amputation in people with diabetes but not in those without: a nationwide study in Belgium.

amputation rate (first per year) in the populations with and without diabetes for major and minor LEA s, and the corresponding relative risks. To test for time trends, Poisson regression models were fitted. ...

Relationships between aeroallergen levels and hospital admissions for asthma in the Brussels-Capital Region: a daily time series analysis.

were performed. Effects up to 6 days after exposure were captured by combining quasi-Poisson regression with distributed lag models, adjusting for seasonal and long-term trends, day of the week, public ...

Short-term effects of nitrogen dioxide on hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease in Wallonia, Belgium.

hospitals. Analyses were performed using the quasi-Poisson regression model adjusted for seasonality, long-term trend, day of the week, and temperature. Our study confirms the existence of an association ...

Childhood leukaemia near nuclear sites in Belgium, 2002–2008

living in the vicinity of the nuclear sites in Belgium. Poisson regression modelling was carried out for proximity areas of varying sizes. In addition, the hypothesis of a gradient in leukaemia incidence ...

A new approach to define acceptance limits for hematology in external quality assessment schemes.

their corresponding assigned value (U-scores) was modeled by means of an adaptation of Thompson’s “characteristic function”. Quantile regression was used to investigate the percentiles of the U-scores for ...

Disability weights for infectious diseases in four European countries: comparison between countries and across respondent characteristics.

Methods: We analyzed paired comparison responses of the European DW study by participants’ characteristics with separate probit regression models. To evaluate the effect of participants’ characteristics, we ...
