Example Sentences:

  • (1) The others were two Britons, Mark Cox and John Barrett (now both BBC commentators) and the US player Jim McManus.
  • (2) The time to recovery of full consciousness, time to parasite clearance, and mortality were examined with Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis.
  • (3) Patients with grade 2 carcinoma could be separated into one subgroup with small nuclei (mean nuclear area less than or equal to 95 microns2) having a favorable outcome (5-year survival rate: 100%), and into another subgroup with large nuclei (mean nuclear area greater than 95 microns2) showing a worse prognosis (5-year survival rate: 63.2%) (Mantel-Cox, P = .01).
  • (4) Partial defects of COX have been shown in muscle of patients with progressive external ophthalmoplegia, either alone (ocular myopathy) or as part of Kearns-Sayre syndrome.

  • (7) Different outcomes were related to admission characteristics by means of the Cox proportional hazards regression model.
  • (8) In a multivariate Cox model analysis, the independent correlates of long-term survival were emergent operation with cardiogenic shock (multivariate mortality rate ratio [RR] = 14.0), use of a postoperative intraaortic balloon pump (RR = 3.9), ejection fraction less than 50% (RR = 2.4), preoperative history of congestive heart failure (RR = 2.2), cardiopulmonary bypass time (RR = 1.4 for each 30-minute increment), uncorrected mitral regurgitation (RR = 1.5 for each increment of angiographic gradation), left main coronary artery narrowing (RR = 1.7) and diabetes (RR = 1.6).
  • (9) This paper addresses the latter assumption by applying a direct and flexible approach, cubic spline functions, to two widely used models: the logistic regression model for binary responses and the Cox proportional hazards regression model for survival time data.
  • (10) In Golgi-Cox-impregnated coronal sections of albino rat brains at 1, 4, 26, 24, 30, 60 and 90 days it is presented the evolution of the spine-less, bare initial zone ("nude zone", NZ) at the proximal apical main dendrites of the layer V pyramidal neurons in the somatosensory and anterior limbie cortex.
  • (11) "The cost of moving from a £125,000 flat to a £250,000 house is likely to be around £8,000," says Cox.
  • (12) Applying Cox regression analysis, ICG intrinsic hepatic clearance, Pugh score, previous variceal bleeding, and HVPG were the only significant prognostic determinants of survival.
  • (13) The multivariate analysis with Cox's proportional hazad model showed primary tumour size, progesterone receptor concentration, nodal status and log AHH to be the most important independent prognostic factors for survival, while the occurrence of metastases, log AHH and tumour size were the equivalent factors for the disease-free interval in primary breast cancers.
  • (14) Actuarial cancer-free survival controlling for response to treatment was analysed with the log-rank test, bivariate and multivariate analyses using Cox's stepwise regression model on probable prognostic factors.
  • (15) Cytokine-stimulated prostaglandin production ceases when cells are also treated with DEX, although control levels of COX activity and mass remain.
  • (16) The company launched in 1995 with an idea for a range of “colonial-inspired” tapestry bags, designed by Cox and sold by Liberty, Harrods and the General Trading Company.
  • (17) Juxtapapillary location was not an independent risk factor on Cox multivariate analysis.
  • (18) Biochemical studies have documented either muscle-specific or generalized defects of COX; COX deficiency is reversible in the benign infantile myopathy.
  • (19) The annual risk was analyzed by the multivariate Cox model.
  • (20) When entered in the Cox-proportional hazards model with other potentially useful prognostic factors, soluble IL2R level was found to be an independent predictor of treatment outcome.

Coxswain


Definition:

  • (n.) See Cockswain.

Example Sentences:
