In the multistage model, it is postulated that all transition rates are equally determined by the rate of cell turnover, which is in turn influenced by risk factors. In both models, positive family history is modelled in two ways; (1) all cells may have started in an intermediate stage at birth, with probability depending on the number and degree of affected family members; or (2) as an event rate modifier in the same way as other covariates.</p><p>With only menarche or menarche and family history included, the multistage and two-stage models both produced likelihoods very similar to those from a simple logistic model, though both fit better than the logistic model as more covariates were added to the model. The two stage models offer greater flexibility in modelling the time at which each factor is most effective, We found irregular menstrual cycling to reduce the rate of proliferation of normal cells or their mutation rate to intermediate cells by 50% (<em>p</em> < 0.025) and use of OCs to increase these rates by 3.25 fold (<em>p</em> < 0.01). Having completed a pregnancy of more than 26 weeks gestation appeared to reduce the rate of intermediate cell proliferation by 5% (<em>p</em> < 0.05) relative to a baseline rate of 14% per year. Benign breast disease was associated with a 1.60 fold increased rate of the second mutation (<em>p</em> < 0.025).

A weighted index that takes into account the number and the seriousness of comorbid disease was developed in a cohort of 559 medical patients. The 1-yr mortality rates for the different scores were: “0”, 12% (181); “1–2”, 26% (225); “3–4”, 52% (71); and “⩾ 5”, 85% (82). The index was tested for its ability to predict risk of death from comorbid disease in the second cohort of 685 patients during a 10-yr follow-up. The percent of patients who died of comorbid disease for the different scores were: “0”, 8% (588); “1”, 25% (54); “2”, 48% (25); “ ⩾ 3”, 59% (18). With each increased level of the comorbidity index, there were stepwise increases in the cumulative mortality attributable to comorbid disease (log rank <em>χ</em><sup>2</sup> = 165; <em>p</em> < 0.0001). In this longer follow-up, age was also a predictor of mortality (<em>p</em> < 0.001). The new index performed similarly to a previous system devised by Kaplan and Feinstein. The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death from comorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies. Further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach because the number of patients with any given condition in this study was relatively small.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15427,"journal":{"name":"Journal of chronic diseases","volume":"40 5","pages":"Pages 373-383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0021-9681(87)90171-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14680771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
