Analyses of injury count data: some do's and don'ts.

5 Oct 2009 The analysis of injury data requires different considerations from the analysis of other types of outcomes because an individual can experience the outcome many times. When describing injury patterns using numerator-only data (e.g., proportion of ... Read more...

Comparison of incidence of acute myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus following initiation of neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin versus insulin glargine.

29 Sep 2009 Recent reports have described different risks of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in association with specific oral antidiabetic medications. The present study compared the AMI incidence rates in new users of traditional neutral protamine Hagedorn ... Read more...

Dietary fat intake and risk of skin cancer: a prospective study in Australian adults.

29 Sep 2009 Although intakes of dietary fat have been associated with both basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin, the evidence is sparse and inconsistent. This study prospectively investigated the association between total ... Read more...
