... is the most reliable indicator of PD survival as older onset cases have shorter survival. We report on survival in autopsy-confirmed PD cases with onset age <70 years treated with LD and compare that with similar onset-age cases of PD before the discovery of LD. Material and Methods: The Saskatchewan...

... Karelia. Genetic testing had been conducted in 28% of all patients with the most common findings being SOD1 and C9orf72 . After the diagnosis, mean survival was 2.0–2.7 and median survival 1.3–1.4 years. Onset phenotype ( p < 0.001), age at diagnosis ( p < 0.001), and genotype ( p = 0.001) predicted...

... physician encounters with reference to longer term outcomes. We aimed to compare methods for measuring regularity and continuity of PCP encounters, based on survival following stroke using linked healthcare data. Methods: Data from the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry (2010–2014) were linked...

... and cardiovascular events. The aim was to investigate survival in patients with RLS. Methods: This was an observational, retrospective longitudinal study of a cohort of patients followed up for 11 years. RLS was diagnosed by a physician using the International RLS Study Group criteria. Mortality was analyzed using...

... a Cox model adjusting for age, sex, income, and comorbidity, to compare survival in immigrants versus long-term residents. Results: There were 23,603 incident MS cases of whom 1,410 (6.0%) were immigrants. After adjusting for covariates, risk of death was higher in immigrants in the first year after...

... prevalence in December 2014 was 4.9/100,000 (95% CI 2.0–7.8), and the incidence was 1.4/100,000/year (95% CI 0.5–2.2). The median survival was 4 years. Spinal-onset was observed in 62.4% of the included patients. Conclusion: Prevalence, incidence and clinical presentation of ALS in Antioquia are similar...

...Chava Peretz; Violetta Rozani; Nir Giladi; Baruch El-Ad; Judith Tsamir; Beatriz Hemo; Tanya Gurevich Background: To estimate the survival of a population-based cohort of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients stratified by age and sex over a 13-year period. Methods: The dynamic PD cohort included 6,622...

... not related to smoking. Another explanation is survival bias where death from cancer may act as a competing risk. We conducted a large population-based case-control study in Denmark and investigated whether cancer diagnosis reduced the risk of developing PD even after adjusting for important risk factors...

... and July 2013, were included. Descriptive and comparative analyses by age group were carried out. For time to event univariate analysis, Kaplan-Meier estimator and log rank test were used. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were carried out with Cox's proportional hazard model. Results: Out...

... were compared to those of age-sex-matched patients without ALS. Survival after ALS diagnosis was assessed until death and until tracheostomy or death (follow-up through 2014). Results: In 2013 (n = 158), the prevalence of ALS was 8.1 per 100,000 population in MHS. In 1997-2013, a total of 375 ALS...

... medical record review, we narrowed our sample to 115 patients who fulfilled the criteria for probable MSA. We recorded clinical features, examined differences by MSA subtype and used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to examine mortality. Results: The mean age at onset of patients with probable MSA was 60.2...

... survival status was obtained from the National Census Office; functional outcome was obtained from the Swedish Stroke Register or medical records. Using multivariate analyses, we examined if mGS was related to 30-day survival or poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale ≥4) at 90 days. Results: Of 198...

... also presenting an illustrative case. Methods: The SEER database was queried for cases of spinal hemangioblastoma between 2000 and 2010 with the use of SEER*Stat software. Incidence was evaluated as a function of age, sex and race. Survival was evaluated with the Cox proportionate hazards ratio using...

.... The combined estimate for low- and middle-income countries was nearly three times higher than for high-income countries. Pooled estimates of first-year survival were 86.5% (95% CI 75.3-93.1), 95.6% (95% CI 81.0-99.1), and 94.0% (95% CI 93.3-94.6) in the Americas, Europe and Western Pacific. Pooled estimates...

...), a total of 1,283 patients were included in the Bizkaia cohort. Eighty-nine patients (6.9%) had died before December 31, 2011. The standardized mortality ratio was 2.78 for the whole group (3.26 for men and 2.73 for women), with a decreased life expectancy of 6.53 years. The mean survival from the onset...
