(2016)Introduction. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major disease worldwide, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection.The Toll- Like Receptor (TLR) pathway plays a crucial role in the recognition of MTB. Aim. The present study ... -
Aspirin Versus Clopidogrel for Type 2 Diabetic Patients with First-Ever Noncardioembolic Acute Ischemic Stroke: Ten-Year Survival Data from the Athens Stroke Outcome Project
(2017)Background and objective Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of stroke and poor outcome following a stroke event. We assessed the impact of discharge treatment with aspirin versus clopidogrel on the ... -
Body mass index and survival from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A meta-analysis
(2018)BackgroundSeveral studies have examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and survival from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Many indicate that low BMI at diagnosis or during follow-up may be associated ... -
Clipping Versus Coiling in Anterior Circulation Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: A Meta-Analysis
(2017)Objective To evaluate open surgical versus endovascular repair of anterior circulation ruptured intracranial aneurysms based on operative mortality, permanent neurologic deficit, late mortality, and need for reintervention. ... -
Continuing versus Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Therapy in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Subgroup Analysis of the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke Trial
(2016)Background and purpose More than 50% of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are taking antihypertensive drugs before ictus. Although antihypertensive therapy should be given long term for secondary prevention, ... -
Effect of continuing versus stopping pre-stroke antihypertensive agents within 12 h on outcome after stroke: A subgroup analysis of the efficacy of nitric oxide in stroke (ENOS) trial
(2022)Background: It is not known whether to continue or temporarily stop existing antihypertensive drugs in patients with acute stroke. Methods: We performed a prospective subgroup analysis of patients enrolled into the Efficacy ... -
Effects of varenicline therapy in combination with advanced behavioral support on smoking cessation and quality of life in inpatients with acute exacerbation of COPD, bronchial asthma, or community-acquired pneumonia: A prospective, open-label, preference-based, 52-week, follow-up trial
(2018)Quitting smoking is the most important element in the therapeutic management of chronic respiratory diseases. Combining pharmacotherapy with behavioral support increases smoking cessation success rates. In addition, ... -
FcγRIIa-H131R variant is associated with inferior response in diffuse large B cell lymphoma: A meta-analysis of genetic risk
(2016)Purpose: Low-affinity variants FcγRIIIa-V158F and FcγRI-Ia-H131R may alter response to rituximab-based chemotherapy in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) but available clinical evidence is inconclusive. Our purpose was ... -
The Generalized Odds Ratio as a Measure of Genetic Risk Effect in the Analysis and Meta-Analysis of Association Studies
(2010)The significance of risk effects in genetic association studies is assessed using the odds ratio for various genetic models (dominant, recessive and co-dominant) by merging genotypes. These models are not independent and ... -
Geographical variation in therapy for bloodstream infections due to multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: a post-hoc analysis of the INCREMENT study
(2017)We describe regional differences in therapy for bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). Patients (n = ... -
Inflammation, Hyperglycemia, and Adverse Outcomes in Individuals With Diabetes Mellitus Hospitalized for COVID-19
(2022)OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for reasons that are unclear. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We leveraged the International Study of Inflammation in ... -
Large Diameter (≥29 mm) Proximal Aortic Necks Are Associated with Increased Complication Rates after Endovascular Repair for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
(2019)Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of proximal aortic diameter on outcome after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Methods: This is a case–control ... -
Meta-Analysis Methods of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies
(2022)Meta-analytic techniques are used to combine the results of different studies that have evaluated the accuracy of diagnostic tests. In this article, we present univariate and multivariate meta-analysis methods for a single ... -
Multiple sclerosis: Shall we target cd33?
(2020)Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Myeloid lineage cells (microglia and macrophages) may participate in the pathogenic mechanisms leading to MS. CD33 is a transmembrane ... -
A multivariate method for meta-analysis and comparison of diagnostic tests
(2016)We present here an extension of the classic bivariate random effects meta-analysis for the log-transformed sensitivity and specificity that can be applied for two or more diagnostic tests. The advantage of this method is ... -
On the covariance of two correlated log-odds ratios
(2012)In many applications two correlated estimates of an effect size need to be considered simultaneously to be combined or compared. Apparently, there is a need for calculating their covariance, which however requires access ... -
