TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS: THE IMPACT OF GENETIC RISK SCORE ON PATIENTS AND PHYSICIANS
… between genetic markers and complex disease risk. When several of these markers are used in combination, the predictive performance is strong; however, the clinical utility of multi-marker tests is not known. This thesis addresses a unifying question: Can genomic test results safely and …

DETECTION OF DEMENTIA RISK IN PRIMARY CARE: PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF A COMPOSITE DEMENTIA RISK SCORE IN VETERANS
… United States population, may be at even higher risk for developing dementia as they generally have more risk factors for dementia than the general population. The current study sought to develop a modifiable composite dementia risk score, based on routinely gathered data from the primary care …

Development of a risk score for constrictive pericarditis using the Investigation of the Management of Pericarditis randomised clinical trial dataset
… in sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, while the risk of constrictive pericarditis in individuals with tuberculous pericarditis does not appear to be uniform, there is no defined risk score available to predict an individual's baseline risk of constrictive pericarditis. Therefore the main aim of …

A Genome-wide Association Study of Schizophrenia in the South African Xhosa and Generalizability of Polygenic Risk Score across African populations
… Thus, the prediction accuracy of polygenic risk scores (PRS) derived from EUR ancestry populations is less accurate in populations of non-European ancestry, and least accurate in African (AFR) ancestry populations. The extent to which PRS prediction accuracy varies within AFR ancestry …

A FIS Risk Analysis Approach as a Tool to Prioritize Risks
In this work, a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) as a risk analysis tool was developed to prioritize risks. The developed FIS risk analysis tool was applied to assess the risks in a drug dispensing process in a pharmacy, and also in a chemical process industry. The tool uses Bow-tie analysis and fuzzy …

Hair Na and K Concentration is Related with the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease in Korean Men
… and potassium (K), is associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). There has been no previous study to elucidate the relationship using hair mineral concentration which is a better reflection of body mineral content compared to conventional tests. A cross sectional observation …

Advances in Survival Analysis: Accurate Partial Likelihood Computation by Poisson-Binomial Distributions and Nonparametric Competing Risk Cox Model
… approximates conditional probabilities using risk score ratios under a continuous-time assumption. We propose a new accurate partial likelihood computation method based on the Poisson-binomial distribution. Although ties are common in real studies, existing Cox model theory largely overlooks …

A novel framework for predicting patients at risk of readmission
Uncertainty in decision-making for patients’ risk of re-admission arises due to non-uniform data and lack of knowledge in health system variables. The knowledge of the impact of risk factors will provide clinicians better decision-making and in reducing the number of patients admitted to the …
