Derivation of a Risk Assessment Tool for Prediction of Long-Term Pain Intensity Reduction After Physical Therapy.
Horn, Maggie E; George, Steven Z; Li, Cai; Luo, Sheng; Lentz, Trevor A (Journal of pain research, 2021-01)<h4>Rationale</h4>Risk assessment tools can improve clinical decision-making for individuals with musculoskeletal pain, but do not currently exist for predicting reduction of pain intensity as an outcome from physical ... -
Developing and Validating Risk Assessment Models of Clinical Outcomes in Modern Oncology.
Halabi, Susan; Li, Cai; Luo, Sheng (JCO precision oncology, 2019-01)The identification of prognostic factors and building of risk assessment prognostic models will continue to play a major role in 21st century medicine in patient management and decision making. Investigators are often interested ... -
Dynamic evolution of the alpha (α) and beta (β) keratins has accompanied integument diversification and the adaptation of birds into novel lifestyles.
Greenwold, Matthew J; Bao, Weier; Jarvis, Erich D; Hu, Haofu; Li, Cai; Gilbert, M Thomas P; Zhang, Guojie; ... (8 authors) (BMC Evol Biol, 2014-12-12)BACKGROUND: Vertebrate skin appendages are constructed of keratins produced by multigene families. Alpha (α) keratins are found in all vertebrates, while beta (β) keratins are found exclusively in reptiles and birds. We ... -
Fast covariance estimation for multivariate sparse functional data
Li, Cai; Xiao, Luo; Luo, Sheng (Stat, 2020-01) -
Joint model for survival and multivariate sparse functional data with application to a study of Alzheimer's Disease.
Li, Cai; Xiao, Luo; Luo, Sheng (Biometrics, 2021-01-26)Studies of Alzheimer's disease (AD) often collect multiple longitudinal clinical outcomes, which are correlated and predictive of AD progression. It is of great scientific interest to investigate the association between ... -
Longitudinal associations between BMI change and the risks of colorectal cancer incidence, cancer-relate and all-cause mortality among 81,388 older adults : BMI change and the risks of colorectal cancer incidence and mortality.
