Modeling all-cause mortality
OBJECTIVES: A model that relates clinical risk factors to subsequent mortality was used to simulate the impact of smoking cessation. METHODS: Survivor functions derived from multivariate hazard regressions fitted to data from the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) Epidemiologic Followup Study, a longitudinal survey of a representative sample of US adults, were used to project deaths from all causes. RESULTS: Validat…
Biomedical Risk Factors for Hospital Admission in Older Adults
OBJECTIVES: This study examines the influence of risk factors such as cigarette smoking, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, or chronic illness on frequency of hospital admission in a population-based sample. METHODS: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I Epidemiologic Followup Study for 6,461 adults aged 45 years and older were used to assess the influence of risk factors measured by interview, physical examination, and…

A Preliminary Investigation of Computerized Patient Management Problems in Relation to Other Examinations
In order to provide a better assessment of the performance of medical students, new testing devices have been introduced. One of these devices labelled as the computerized patient management problem has been used by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada as an additional examination in the final certifying process of pediatricians. The present paper uses factor analysis to determine whether computerized patient management problems…
