MARCO Grand Rounds for February 8, 2006

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last week we discussed Lupus.

This week we will discuss the findings at the recent American Heart Association meeting in Orlando. As a follow-up we will offer the over 50 crowd the test now appearing in the Feb. 15 JAMA entitled "Chances of your dying in the next 4 years." The article is on page 801 entitled "Development and Validation of a Prognostic Index for 4-Year Mortality in Older Adults." By taking this test you will determine which CD you will take out next and just how long you need on your car warranty.

It is like taking a pleasure trip-- such as taking your mother-in-law to the airport. The test is optional.

There was a fellow who developed a camera that could take your picture 5 years in the future--would you have yours taken?
