... is the major predictor of cerebrovascular events. Such anassumption may not be held in subjects with isolated systolic hypertension, where a widePP seems to predict coronary and cerebrovascular events to a similar extent. From a pathophysiologicalstandpoint, a wide PP might reflect diffuse atherosclerotic...

... on the current evidence asto the predictive value of arterial stiffness in relation to coronary events and also on thepossible pathophysiological mechanisms linking arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. ...

... Abstract SummaryAfter having shown the efficacy of a drug in a controlled trial, we may wish to definie the profile of “responders” and “non-responders”. This can be accomplished through non-comparative “prediction studies” in which we compare the pretreatment characteristics of patients...

... Abstract It is difficult to predict whether an individual who is at high risk for psychosis will go on to develop the disorder using clinical and behavioural measures alone. This chapter describes findings from neuroimaging research that may be useful in helping to predict outcomes...

... Abstract The analysis of large-scale multidomain databases has become a key avenue in the quest for identifying predictors of psychosis. However, despite large scientific efforts, until today no clinically viable predictive models have been derived from these databases. This might to some...

.... Hence, further risk stratification among ARMS individuals is urgently needed to improve the cost-benefit ratio of preventive interventions. Cognitive and motor functioning deficits are promising candidates for improving the prediction of psychosis in ARMS individuals because they are hallmark features...
