HIV prevention barriers in transgender women
Sexual contact is still one of the most important routes of HIV transmission. The aim of this study was identify the factors that underlie the higher prevalence of high-risk sexual behaviors in a sample of transgender women in Iran. The qualitative study used face-to-face, semi-structured, in-depth interviews in a sample of 15 transgender women. Our participants used sexual practices as a way to be approved/accepted as a woman. Using sex for this…

Does an electrocardiogram add predictive value to the rose angina questionnaire for future coronary heart disease? 10-year follow-up in a Middle East population
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the power of abnormal resting ECG versus Rose Questionnaire angina and its additive value in predicting 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in an Iranian urban population with high prevalence of CHD. METHODS: There were 5101 subjects ≥30 years (2900 women), free of CHD at baseline; they were categorised in to four groups according to their Rose Angina and ECG status for ischaemia as Rose-/ECG-, Rose+/ECG-, Rose-/ECG+…
SP1-81 An approach to compare the importance of different cardiovascular exposures as continuous variables
Introduction Attributable Fraction is the commonest method of describing the proportion of a health outcome attributable to an exposure in an exposed group. It applies to binary variables. Many variables are continuous; changing them to binary variables results in loss of information. Using traditional analyses we compared the importance of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in a continuous form. Methods A population based cohort study inc…
SP1-62 Rose Angina vs silent ischaemia in prediction of coronary heart disease
Introduction Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in Iran. The aim of this cohort study is evaluating the ability of Rose questionnaire (WHO angina questionnaire) and ECG to predict 10-year CHD events in a population with high prevalence of CHD. Methods Study population included 5652 subjects ≥30 years (3244 females), free of self reported CHD at the baseline. Subjects were categorised to four g…
