Familial risk of systemic sclerosis and co-aggregation of autoimmune diseases in affected families
BACKGROUND Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and devastating disease affecting skin and internal organs. Familial aggregation of SSc and co-aggregation with other autoimmune diseases is rarely reported. METHODS We identified 23,658,577 beneficiaries registered with the National Health Insurance database in 2010, 1891 of whom had SSc. We identified 21,009,551 parent-child relationships and 17...

Using a nationwide MS register and other national registers, the authors estimated relative and absolute risks of MS in a population-based cohort that included 19,615 first-degree relatives of 8,205 Danish MS patients followed from 1968 to 1997. The ratio of observed t...
متن کاملConditional graphical models for systemic risk estimation
Financial network models are a useful tool to model interconnectedness and systemic risks in banking and finance. Recently, graphical Gaussian models have been shown to improve the estimation of network models and, consequently, the interpretation of systemic risks. This paper provides a novel graphical Gaussian model to estimate systemic risks. The model is characterised by two main innovation...
