    • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) based on cystatin C was associated with increased risk of hip and proximal humerus fractures in women and decreased risk of hip fracture in men, whereas eGFR based on creatinine was not associated with fracture risk in both sexes: The Tromsø Study 

      Nordvåg, Sofie; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Melsom, Toralf; Nissen, Frida Igland; Andreasen, Camilla; Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Joakimsen, Ragnar Martin; Bjørnerem, Åshild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-14)
      <i>Purpose</i> - Patients with end-stage kidney disease have an increased fracture risk. Whether mild to moderate reductions in kidney function is associated with increased fracture risk is uncertain. Results from previous studies may be confounded by muscle mass because of the use of creatinine-based estimates of the glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcre). We tested the hypothesis that lower eGFR ...

    • Estimated lifetime risk of venous thromboembolism in men and women in a Danish nationwide cohort: impact of competing risk of death 

      Arnesen, Carl Arne Løchen; Veres, Katalin; Horváth-Puhó, Erzsébet; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Sørensen, Henrik Toft; Brækkan, Sigrid K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-08)
      Incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk varies by age and sex. Some studies have reported overall higher risk in men, especially when VTEs triggered by female reproductive factors are excluded. However, higher mortality rates in men may have led to overestimation of lifetime VTE risk in men compared with women. Therefore, we estimated the lifetime risk of VTE in men and women in a Danish, ...

    • Evaluation of absolute quantitation by nonlinear regression in probe-based real-time PCR 

      Olsen, Trine; Goll, Rasmus; Florholmen, Jon; Cui, Guanglin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-03-03)
      Background In real-time PCR data analysis, the cycle threshold (CT) method is currently the gold standard. This method is based on an assumption of equal PCR efficiency in all reactions, and precision may suffer if this condition is not met. Nonlinear regression analysis (NLR) or curve fitting has therefore been suggested as an alternative to the cycle threshold method for absolute quantitation. ...
