Family caregiving and all-cause mortality: findings from a population-based propensity-matched analysis.
Previous studies have provided conflicting evidence on whether being a family caregiver is associated with increased or decreased risk for all-cause mortality. This study examined whether 3,503 family caregivers enrolled in the national Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study showed differences in all-cause mortality from 2003 to 2012 compared with a propensity-m...
متن کاملSerum calcification propensity predicts all-cause mortality in predialysis CKD.
Medial arterial calcification is accelerated in patients with CKD and strongly associated with increased arterial rigidity and cardiovascular mortality. Recently, a novel in vitro blood test that provides an overall measure of calcification propensity by monitoring the maturation time (T50) of calciprotein particles in serum was described. We used this test to measure serum T50 in a prospective...
متن کاملA Propensity Score Matching Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to determine how much is the “bonus” or “prize” to the sales per worker of Internet-using firms compared to not Internet-using firms. The author employs matching techniques based on an Argentinean database. The author first presents a binary logit model, in which the dependent variable is a dichotomous variable equal to 1 if the firm adopted Internet and 0 otherwise...
متن کاملpropensity score analysis
Methods for propensity score analysis (PSA) originated with Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983), as vehicles to sharpen and clarify treatment group comparisons in observational studies. Although highly recommended by many statisticians, and applied often in medical sciences, PSA has seen relatively few applications in the social and behavioral sciences. This paper aims to facilitate sound PSA applicatio...
متن کاملDaily Sitting Time and All-Cause Mortality: A Meta-Analysis
OBJECTIVE To quantify the association between daily total sitting and all-cause mortality risk and to examine dose-response relationships with and without adjustment for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. METHODS Studies published from 1989 to January 2013 were identified via searches of multiple databases, reference lists of systematic reviews on sitting and health, and from authors' pe...
