Awareness of adverse effects of Azathioprine in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease – more to be done?

www.ums.ac.uk To determine what degree of causality rainfall, dry days and motorcycle events had on trauma incidence we used a Spearman rank co-efficient (SPC). We found poor correlation between the peaks of motorcycling accidents & other vehicle road accidents in both 2008 and 2009 (SPC 0.292 and 0.177 respectively). Motorcycling accidents are most common in months with most official motorcycle racing events (SPC 0.446 in 2008 and 0.888 in 2009). In both years, motorcycling RTA’s correlated strongly with temperature (SPC 0.692 and 0.743 respectively) while other vehicle RTA’s had a much weaker association with temperature (SPC 0.157 and 0.266 respectively). However dry days did not correlate inversely with motorbike accident incidence (SPC 0.385 in 2008 and -0.142 in 2009).
