Age and sex specific thresholds for risk stratification of cardiovascular disease and clinical decision making: prospective open cohort study by Matthew Sperrin, Angela M Wood, Lois Kim, Zhe Xu, Emanuele Di Angelantonio, Stephen Kaptoge, Juliet Usher-Smith, Matthew Arnold, Lisa Pennells, Ryan Chung

“…Objective To quantify the potential advantages of using 10 year risk prediction models for cardiovascular disease, in combination with risk thresholds specific to both age and sex, to identify individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease for allocation of statin treatment.Design Prospective open cohort study.Setting Primary care data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD, linked with hospital admissions from Hospital Episode Statistics and national mortality records from the Office for National Statistics in England, 1 January 2006 to 31 May 2019.Participants 1 046 736 individuals (aged 40-85 years) with no cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or a history of statin treatment at baseline using data from electronic health records.Main outcome measures 10 year risk of cardiovascular disease, calculated with version 2 of the QRISK cardiovascular disease risk algorithm (QRISK2), with two main strategies to identify individuals at high risk: in strategy A, estimated risk was a fixed cut-off value of ≥10% (ie, as per the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines); in strategy B, estimated risk was ≥10% or ≥90th centile of age and sex specific risk distributions.Results Compared with strategy A, strategy B stratified 20 241 (149.8%) more women aged ≤53 years and 9832 (150.2%) more men aged ≤47 years as having a high risk of cardiovascular disease; for all other ages the strategies were the same. …”

Evaluating the Pattern of Forest Cover Changes Using Fuzzy Object-Oriented Techniques (Case Study: Kaleybar County) by Majid Pishnamaz Ahmadi, keyvan Mohammadzadeh, seyed Asadolah Hejazi

“…The results were then calculated and finalized in ArcGIS software after accurate evaluation. 3-Results and Discussion In this research, images in 200 scales sorted consecutively from 1 to 200 were segmented using low to high multi-functional hierarchical segmentation approach with shape coefficient of 0.4 and compression coefficient of 0.5 in order to construct LV graphs and the appropriate scales for image segmentation were determined using the plotted graphs. By predicting the appropriate scale for creating image units using the algorithm (ESP), the scale of 15 with coefficients of shape and compression 0.3 and 0.5 respectively was scaled as the appropriate scale for extraction of Landsat 5 and 7 satellite images, and the scale of 130 with shape coefficient of 0.4 and compression coefficient of 0.5 was chosen as the appropriate scale for Landsat 8 satellite OLI images. …”
