    Notes: Abstract The case study of Adam, a severely-deprived Colombian orphan, is presented. At 16 months of age the child was suffering from severe marasmic malnutrition, his development was about the level of a 3-month old, he had been physically neglected and was emotionally withdrawn. Adam was adopted at 34 months of age. At 8 years of age his Full-Scale WISC-R-IQ was 113 and at 10 years of age he scored 100% on the Michigan Assessment Test. Now at 13 years 10 months he is functioning at the 8th grade school level, which is appropriate for his age, and his weight and height are in the 50th centile range.

    The use of repeated blood pressure measures for cardiovascular risk prediction: a comparison of statistical models in the ARIC study (2016)
    Wiley-Blackwell

    Publication Date: 2016-10-13
    Description: Many prediction models have been developed for the risk assessment and the prevention of cardiovascular disease in primary care. Recent efforts have focused on improving the accuracy of these prediction models by adding novel biomarkers to a common set of baseline risk predictors. Few have considered incorporating repeated measures of the common risk predictors. Through application to the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study and simulations, we compare models that use simple summary measures of the repeat information on systolic blood pressure, such as (i) baseline only; (ii) last observation carried forward; and (iii) cumulative mean, against more complex methods that model the repeat information using (iv) ordinary regression calibration; (v) risk-set regression calibration; and (vi) joint longitudinal and survival models. In comparison with the baseline-only model, we observed modest improvements in discrimination and calibration using the cumulative mean of systolic blood pressure, but little further improvement from any of the complex methods. © 2016 The Authors.
