The preoperative positivity for serum hepatitis B e antigen did not affect overall survival after curative resection of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma.

18 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND AND AIM: Previous studies have reported different risk factors for early and late intrahepatic recurrence after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the prognostic significance of the risk factors for early and late ... Read more...

Coverage of and influences on timely administration of hepatitis B vaccine birth dose in remote rural areas of the People's Republic of China.

30 Oct 2009 A survey was conducted in 2006 to assess the coverage and timeliness of the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine (HepB(1)) and related influences among children in rural areas of Guangxi, Guizhou, Tibet, and Shaanxi provinces, People's Republic of ... Read more...

Interleukin-1 beta single-nucleotide polymorphism's C allele is associated with elevated risk of gastric cancer in Helicobacter pylori-infected Peruvians.

30 Oct 2009 Particular alleles of the interleukin-1B (IL-1B) gene have been correlated with increased risk of atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer in the populations of East Asia and Europe. No such data exist from Peru, a developing country with a population ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Logistic Models'

Definition: Statistical models which describe the relationship between a qualitative dependent variable (that is, one which can take only certain discrete values, such as the presence or absence of a disease) and an independent variable. A common application is in epidemiology for estimating an individual's risk (probability of a disease) as a function of a given risk factor.
