Are the effects of lead exposure linked to the g factor? A meta-analysis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Does lead reduce IQ at the level of g, test specificities, or both? A bare-bones psychometric meta-analysis utilizing the Method of Correlated Vectors was performed on a sample of 16 studies for which subtest-level data could be obtained satisfying stringent inclusion rules. The aggregate correlation across samples between subtest-level estimates of both g loading (g) and the deleterious impact of lead exposure (d) was 0.10 (K = 16, total N = ...
Anticholinergic drug exposure at intensive care unit admission affects the occurrence of delirium. A prospective cohort study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Anticholinergic drugs may increase the risk of delirium in non-critically ill patients, but it is unclear whether exposure to these drugs is also a risk factor for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) delirium. In this study the hypothesis was tested that anticholinergic drug exposure at ICU admission increases the risk to develop delirium during ICU stay, particularly in patients with advanced age and severe sepsis.
METHODS: A ...
