Importance of district of residence and known primary site for bowel cancer survival
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to compare survival with colon and rectal cancer across the 10 districts of Wessex taking into account the age and sex of the individual. DESIGN--The study was based on registrations on the Wessex Cancer Registry between 1979 and 1984 with colon and rectal cancer. Survival up to 31 December 1986 was examined using a Cox regression model; individuals surviving to the end of the follow up period were treated as censored…

Development of a Neonatal Case-mix Classification
This article introduces a neonatal classification based on latent class analysis. The neonatal classification generates five distinct classes ranging from the normal-birth-weight, full-term, healthy baby to the low-birth-weight preterm infant with many life-threatening problems. Unlike several suggested neonatal classifications, latent class analysis accommodates the range and severity of illness typically encountered in neonatal populations. It …
Maternal characteristics and the distribution of birthweight standardized for gestational age
Using routinely collected data for 184,000 Scottish singleton live births in 1980–82, nine maternal factors were related to changes in the distribution of birthweight for given gestational age. Maternal height and marital status were associated with overall shifts in the distribution. In contrast, social class, a previous perinatal death or two or more previous spontaneous abortions in multiparae were primarily associated with increased risk of a…
Pre-term Foetal Life Times in Scotland
A proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between ten categorical covariates and the risk of pre-term delivery for women having their first child and women in subsequent pregnancies. An adaptation of the model for use with grouped survival times made it possible to model foetal life times between 28 and 36 completed weeks of gestation for 67,000 Scottish singleton births in 1981. The use of the model was justified by testi…
