Myers index for R: v0.9

<p>A straightforward implementation of Myers blended digit preference index in R. The code is tested and validated against several examples from the scientific literature.</p

Baseline characteristics of patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack.

<p>Discrete variables are expressed as frequency (percentage) and continuous Gaussian variables as means with SD and non-Gaussian variables as medians with interquartile ranges [IQR].</p><p>NIHSS =  National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; AMI =  acute myocardial infarction; TACS =  total anterior circulation syndrome; PACS =  partial anterior circulation syndrome; LACS =  lacunar syndrome; POCS =  posterior circulation syndrome.</p

Logistic regression analysis for functional outcome after 90 days for ischemic stroke patients (n = 342).

<p>OR =  odds ratio; CI =  confidence interval; CRP =  C-reactive protein; NIHSS =  National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; AMI =  acute myocardial infarction.</p

Cox regression analysis for mortality after 90 days for all patients (n = 441).

Kaplan Meier Survival Curves showing survival rates stratified by upper decile levels.

<p>Values are shown for A. Cortisol (p = 0.005); B. DHEA (p = 0.015); C. Cortisol/DHEAS (p = 0.08). P values determined by log rank test. <i>Definition of abbreviations:</i> DHEA  =  dehydroepiandrosterone; DHEAS  =  dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate.</p

Adrenal hormones by PSI classes.

<p>Hormone levels are shown according to PSI classes; A. Cortisol (p = 0.001); B. DHEA (p = 0.537); C. DHEAS (p = 0.084); D. Cortisol/DHEA (p = 0.010); E. Cortisol/DHEAS (p<0.001); F. DHEA/DHEAS (p = 0.023). P values determined by Kruskal-Wallis test. <i>Definition of abbreviations:</i> DHEA  =  dehydroepiandrosterone; DHEAS  =  dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate; CAP  =  community acquired pneumonia; PSI  =  pneumonia severity index; class I  =  low risk, class V  =  high risk; IQR =  interquartile range. Data represent median and IQR.</p

Fasting blood glucose and pulmonary function tests of the vehicle and STZ-injected mice.

(A) Fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured in mice every 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. Pulmonary function testing was performed in mice, (B) 3 months after the onset of hyperglycemia, and (C) 6 months after the onset of hyperglycemia. Data were analyzed by unpaired t-test. N = 7 to 11 animals per group. *p≤0.05; **p≤0.01; ***p≤0.001; ****p≤0.0001. AUC = Area under the curve.</p
