Disease relevance of Sex Distribution

  • Between patients with rapid progression and those without, there were no significant differences in sex distribution, age, smoking history, frequency of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, and serum LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B concentrations [1].
  • Mortality rates for a group of patients in a collaborative multicenter study of levodopa (Larodopa) in the treatment of parkinsonism were compared with corresponding mortality rates in the general population adjusted for age and sex distribution in accordance with that of the parkinsonian patients under study [2].
  • We evaluated the prevalence and severity of diabetic retinopathy in 173 juvenile-onset, type I diabetic subjects and 78 nondiabetic controls of similar age, race, and sex distribution by stereoscopic fundus photography and fluorescein angiography, performed by a standardized protocol and evaluated by five expert, masked observers [3].
  • RESULTS: Forty patients had a mean age of 65 years, an almost equal sex distribution, high prevalences of cardiovascular disease (53%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (33%), but a low incidence of tuberculosis [4].
  • The patients in groups evaluated for either nephrotoxicity or auditory toxicity were similar with respect to intensity and etiology of bacterial disease, concurrent exposure to other antimicrobial drugs, age and sex distribution, initial serum creatinine level, and total dose and duration of antimicrobial therapy [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Sex Distribution

  • In turn, characterological depressions are divisible into at least two subtypes: (1) "Subaffective dysthymias" have even sex distribution, are often complicated by superimposed depressive episodes, rapid eye movement latency is shortened, and they tend to respond to tricyclics of lithium carbonate [6].

Associations of Sex Distribution with chemical compounds

  • No significant differences were observed in sex distribution, current age, age at diabetes onset, BMI, fasting serum glucose, or glycemic control between anti-CD38+ and anti-CD38-diabetic patients in either the type 2 or type 1 diabetic groups [25].
  • RESULTS: Patients in the two groups did not differ significantly in age, sex distribution, diagnoses, mean dose or duration of fluoxetine treatment, or mean combined plasma concentrations of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine [26].
  • Except for the race, aberrant sex distribution and low incidence of urate stones, this series is not unlike a series of white gout patients [27].
  • The participants were divided into three groups: total plasma cholesterol < 5 mmol/l, total plasma cholesterol 5-8 mmol/l, total plasma cholesterol > 8 mmol/l. Each group was comparable in size and sex distribution [28].
  • METHODS: This article demonstrates Simpson's paradox with three cohorts of naproxen users (new users, chronic users, and combined users) who were compared on the age/sex distribution of further naproxen use [29].
 

Gene context of Sex Distribution

  • The prevalence of the A20210 allele of the prothrombin (PT) gene and the T677 allele of the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene was determined in 205 patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and in 398 healthy subjects of similar age and sex distribution [30].
  • The two groups of patients had a similar age and sex distribution, had had RA for less than a year, had no joint erosions, and had not been treated previously with any other disease modifying drugs [31].
  • No statistical differences were found for mean donor age, sex distribution, or the total number of HLA-A and DR mismatches [32].
  • There was a significant difference in sex distribution between acromegalics with the GH-PRL tumor subtype and all other acromegalics [33].
  • Women represented 73% of the GH-PRL immunostain subtype, as compared with the overall sex distribution of 33 women (53%) and 29 men (47%) for the entire series of acromegalic patients [33].
