Choosing a sensible cut-off point: Assessing the impact of uncertainty in a social network on the performance of NBDA
Network-based diffusion analysis (NBDA) has become a widely used tool to detect and quantify social learning in animal populations. NBDA infers social learning if the spread of a novel behavior follows the social network and hence relies on appropriate information on individuals' network connections. Most studies on animal populations, however, lack a complete record of all associations, which creates uncertainty in the social network. To reduce …
OP96 Applying Missing Data Methods to Routine Data: A Prospective Population-Based Register of People with Diabetes
Background Research using data from large population-based datasets is often hindered by the presence of non-trivial proportions of missing data. Numerous approaches for handling missing data are available, each of which make important assumptions regarding the mechanism by which the missing data occurred. Using a 2008 extract of the Scottish Care Information-Diabetes Collaboration (SCI-DC), a population-based register of patients with diabetes d…
OP49 Socio-Economic Status and Lung Cancer Incidence in Men with type 2 Diabetes in Scotland (2001-2007)
Background Diabetes is a chronic disease which affects c. 5% of Scottish men; lung cancer is the second most common cancer among men in Scotland. While both conditions exhibit marked social patterning (specifically, higher prevalence in deprived groups), little research has sought to determine whether the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and lung cancer differs between men with and without diabetes. Methods Data from a population-…
P2-180 FEV 1 predicts length of stay and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Background Older patients are increasingly being referred for cardiac surgery, consequently novel prognostic markers which reflect physiological reserve and severity of co-morbid disease are now required. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV 1 ) is a robust accurate measure of pulmonary physiology and predicts all-cause mortality, yet the relationship between FEV 1 and outcome in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is unknown. We hypothesi…
O1-5.6 Forecasting Diabetes Prevalence: Validation of a simple model with few data requirements
Introduction Current projections of diabetes prevalence are mostly based on demographic change. Explicitly including trends in obesity and other risk factors could improve the accuracy of the projections and assist in evaluating policy options for prevention. Methods The model integrates population, obesity and smoking trends to estimate future diabetes prevalence using a Markov approach. Model parameters were derived from the literature, except …
P2-313 Relative mortality from common cancers among people with type 2 diabetes and the effect of socio-economic status
Introduction Socio-economic status (SES) is associated with both type 2 diabetes and cancer mortality and may confound their association. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study using a population-based national diabetes database for 35–84 year olds in Scotland for 2001–2007 and an area-based measure of SES. RRs for mortality from lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancer among people with type 2 diabetes compared to the population w…
P1-28 Linkage of primary and secondary care data to identify risk factors for emergency hospital admission for COPD: Negotiating the legal and ethical hurdles
Introduction We aimed to identify modifiable risk factors in primary care associated with emergency hospital admissions with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Lothian, Scotland. We sought permission to obtain data from primary to secondary care databases in a way that would allow the required analyses while ensuring that patient confidentiality was protected. Methods The research protocol proposed an “anonymised linkage” method that linked…
Socio-economic status, incidence of type 2 diabetes and relative mortality in Scotland 2001–2007
Background RRs of mortality associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have declined in recent years but are higher in women than men in many populations. The role of socio-economic status (SES) in risk of mortality among people with diabetes is not clear. Methods We used data from a population-based national diabetes register to investigate the associations between T2DM, SES and mortality. SES was categorised with Q5 and Q1 representing the most dep…
Forecasting diabetes prevalence using a simple model: England and Wales 1993–2006
Mice with a mutation of the ζ-associated protein of 70 kDa gene ( skg mutation) are genetically prone to develop autoimmune arthritis, depending on the environment. In a set of mice with the mutation, the amount of ζ-associated protein of 70 kDa protein as well as its tyrosine phosphorylation upon TCR stimulation decreased from +/+, skg /+, skg / skg , to skg /− mice in a stepwise manner. The reduction resulted in graded alterations of thymic pos…
Relative risk of mortality associated with diabetes in Scotland in 2007: A nationwide record linkage study
People with diabetes are known to be at increased risk of mortality compared to the general population but recent data on this association are limited. Diabetes register data are collected in Scotland in primary and secondary care for the whole population of people with diabetes and can be linked to national mortality records. We estimated standardised mortality ratios
