  • Ethnicity and Long-term Prognosis After Myocardial Infarction

    Ora Nakash, Yariv Gerber et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 22

    BACKGROUND: Health disparities are systematic differences in health, favoring members of advantaged over disadvantaged groups in the society. This study examines the contribution of multiple socioeconomic status (SES) measures to ethnic differences in after myocardial infarction (MI) prognosis. METHODS: Patients aged 65 years and younger (n=1040) belonging to Ashkenazi and Mizrahi advantaged and disadvantaged ethnic groups discharged from 8 hospi…

  • Sense of coherence predicts post-myocardial infarction trajectory of leisure time physical activity

    Open AccessVicki Myers, Yaacov Drory et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Our evidence suggests that SOC predicts LTPA trajectory post-MI. Assessment of SOC can help identify high-risk MI survivors, who may require additional help in following secondary prevention recommendations which can dramatically improve prognosis

  • Role of Socioeconomic Status Measures in Long-term Mortality Risk Prediction After Myocardial Infarction

    Noa Molshatzki, Yaacov Drory et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2011References: 26

    BACKGROUND: The relationship of risk factors to outcomes has traditionally been assessed by measures of association such as odds ratio or hazard ratio and their statistical significance from an adjusted model. However, a strong, highly significant association does not guarantee a gain in stratification capacity. Using recently developed model performance indices, we evaluated the incremental discriminatory power of individual and neighborhood soc…

  • Cumulative exposure to air pollution and long term outcomes after first acute myocardial infarction

    Open AccessYariv Gerber, Vicki Myers et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    This study addresses some of the gaps in understanding of the prognostic importance of air pollution exposure after myocardial infarction, by allowing a sufficient follow-up period, using a well-defined community cohort, adequately controlling for multiple and multilevel confounding factors and providing extensive data on various outcomes

  • Prognostic Importance and Long-Term Determinants of Self-Rated Health After Initial Acute Myocardial Infarction

    Yariv Gerber, Yael Benyamini et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2009References: 48

    BACKGROUND: Self-rated health (SRH) is a valid measure of health and its trajectories over time have been found to predict mortality. A better understanding of the determinants of changes in SRH is required, particularly post-myocardial infarction (MI), where rapid changes in health may occur. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prognostic importance of SRH and the determinants of its long-term trajectory in patients with MI. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Betwee…
