“…When we compare prescription data across regions, we should have in consideration that age and sex distribution among regions may be not similar and thus some of the differences found may be explained by population structure. To remove the effects of differences in age and sex distributions we standardized the aggregated data of prescription for the population structure [15]. While the population is mainly older in Alto Trás-os-Montes region, the greater use of statins does not appear to be attributable to the age and sex structure of the population alone, because the prescriptions observed were higher than we expected giving the population structure.…”

“…Prescription rates vary according to age and sex distribution of populations. We used the method of indirect standardization [15] to calculate an age and sex standardized measure of total amount of drugs prescribed and their associated costs. Using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) index we extracted electronic prescriptions for the lipid-lowering agents group.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…It is also difficult to compare GPs using prescribing tools, such the standardised prescribing ratio, as their panel lists are not available. 33 The most recent general practice-based morbidity survey in the UK identified 'symptoms, signs and ill-defined conditions' as one of the most common computercoded group of disorders. 34 Diagnostic codes were not used in this study as a large proportion of consultations that take place in general practice cannot be given a definite diagnostic label.…”
