The disease outcome is regressed on the proportion of the population that has a higher position in the hierarchy.

Further studies need to address the tenuous relationship between mycobacteria and macrophage in relation to disease outcome.

There was no clear preference for the type of presentation comparing risks for multiple disease outcomes over different time horizons (Table 3b).

The cause affects disease outcomes through multiple risk factors.

Risks were assessed from two classes of data - risk factors in trials, and disease outcomes in cohort studies.

Person-years of follow-up were calculated separately for each disease outcome.

However, several other studies found no improvement of disease outcome when spaying was performed after the tumor had developed.

Strong evidence exists that early detection and treatment improve disease outcomes, particularly disease-specific survival.

And this could be applied to other disease outcomes such as coronary heart disease, too.

"We asked whether the gene signature would be able to predict disease outcome in these patients," Dr. Bernards said.
