RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Previous investigations of falls predictors in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) have used various statistical methods and categorization of falls outcomes. The impact of methodological differences on falls predictors has not been investigated. OBJECTIVES: To describe similarities and differences in predictors modelled for fall rates [negative binomial (NB), Poisson Inverse Gaussian (PIG) and quantile regression] and previously-reported predictors of time to second fall (Cox regression), i.e. past falls, motor fluctuations, disability, levodopa dose and balance impairment. To investigate whether predictors from quantile regression vary across subsets of fallers based on fall frequency. METHODS: Participants with PD (n = 229) were followed-up for 12 months. NB and PIG regression were used to determine predictors of fall rates, with the best fitting model reported. Quantile regression was used to determine predictors at higher (62nd, 70th, 80th) percentiles of the falls distribution. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS: Predictors of fall rates were the same in NB and PIG multivariate models, with the PIG model fitting our data better. Past falls, disability and levodopa dose were associated with fall rates from PIG and quantile regression. Freezing of gait was associated with fall rates from PIG regression. Disease severity predicted less (70th percentile, approximately 2-4) and more (80th percentile, approximately ≥ 5) frequent falls, and anteroposterior stability also predicted less frequent falls (p < 0.05), from quantile regression. CONCLUSIONS: Not all predictors of time to second fall were predictors of fall rates. Quantile regression revealed some divergent predictors depending on the percentile of fall frequency examined.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To perform risk factor analysis for the prediction of hyperbilirubinemia in an African American male neonatal cohort. STUDY DESIGN: A database of 500 previously published term and near-term African American male neonates was further analyzed to determine the role of risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia. Factors studied included birth weight >/=4.0 kg, gestational age /=75(th) percentile. Hyperbilirubinemia was defined as any bilirubin value >/=95(th) percentile on the hour-of-life-specific bilirubin nomogram. RESULTS: Forty-three (8.6%) neonates developed hyperbilirubinemia. At 48 +/- 12 hours, median transcutaneous bilirubin was 8.3 mg/dL, 75(th) percentile 10.0 mg/dL, and 95(th) percentile 12.6 mg/dL. Of the risk factors, only exclusive breast-feeding, G-6-PD deficiency and predischarge bilirubin >/=75(th) percentile were significant (Adjusted Odds Ratios [95% Confidence Intervals; CI] 3.15 [1.39-7.14], P = .006; 4.96 [2.28-10.80], P = .001; and 7.47 [3.50-15.94], P < .0001, respectively). G-6-PD-deficient neonates who were also premature and breast-feeding had the highest incidence of hyperbilirubinemia (60%). CONCLUSIONS: African American male neonates may be at higher risk for hyperbilirubinemia than previously thought. Screening for G-6-PD deficiency and predischarge bilirubin determination may be useful adjuncts in hyperbilirubinemia prediction in these newborns.
