All-Cause Mortality After Diabetes-Related Amputation in Barbados
OBJECTIVE To determine the mortality rate after diabetes-related lower-extremity amputation (LEA) in an African-descent Caribbean population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a prospective case-control study. We recruited case subjects (with diabetes and LEA) and age-matched control subjects (with diabetes and no LEA) between 1999 and 2001. We followed these groups for 5 years to asse...
متن کاملAssociations Among Visceral Fat, All-Cause Mortality, and Obesity-Related Mortality in Japanese Americans
OBJECTIVE The study objective was to examine the associations among visceral fat (VF), all-cause mortality, and obesity-related mortality. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 733 Japanese Americans were followed for 16.9 years. Hazard ratios (HRs) per interquartile range increase in VF were calculated using time-dependent Cox proportional hazard models censored at age 82 years, with age as...
متن کاملSeropositivity to Cytomegalovirus, Inflammation, All-Cause and Cardiovascular Disease-Related Mortality in the United States
BACKGROUND Studies have suggested that CMV infection may influence cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and mortality. However, there have been no large-scale examinations of these relationships among demographically diverse populations. The inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) is also linked with CVD outcomes and mortality and may play an important role in the pathway between CMV and mort...
متن کاملSerum sclerostin levels, arteriovenous fistula calcification and 2-years all-cause mortality in prevalent hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Bone and mineral abnormalities, and cardiovascular calcification are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent studies have implicated Wnt signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of bone metabolism and vascular calcification. Sclerostin is a soluble inhibitor of Wnt signaling pathway and has been shown to be associated with...
متن کاملThe risk of all-cause mortality is inversely related to serum 25(OH)D levels.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES Vitamin D plays a key role in maintaining bone health, but evidence for its nonskeletal effects is inconsistent. This study aims to examine the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and all-cause mortality in a large general population cohort. DESIGN, PARTICIPANTS, AND SETTING Using the computerized database of the largest health care provider i...
