BMC Public Health (2006) PMID 16423280 PMCID 1379635

We assessed the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a middle-income country in rapid epidemiological transition and estimated direct costs for treating all individuals at increased cardiovascular risk, i.e. following the so-called "high risk strategy".

    We investigate the problem of predicting risk-of-readmission as a Supervised learning problem, using a multi-layer classification approach. Earlier contributions inadequately attempted to assess a risk value for 30 day Readmission by building a direct predictive model as opposed to our approach. We...

    We investigate cosmological solutions of f(R,T) modified theories of gravity For a perfect fluid in a spatially homogeneous and isotropic background through Phase space analysis, where R is Ricci scalar and T denotes trace of Energy-momentum tensor of matter content. The theory is explored for minim...

    During 36,802 person-years of follow-up, 974 deaths and 1120 cardiovascular events occurred. We found a statistically significant association between high UA and total mortality [HR, P value]: Q1 [reference category, 1.00]; Q2 [1.13, 0.267]; Q3 [1.06, 0.619]; Q4 [1.23, 0.063]; Q5 [1.63, <0.0001], te...
