Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the relationship between mental health diagnoses (like major depressive episodes, dysthymic disorder, and manic episodes) and their associated symptoms using simulated data rather than real-world cases.
- - Researchers generated random populations with varying symptom prevalence and correlations to analyze the significance of these associations, using data from the DSM-IV-TR for reference.
- - Findings revealed that the diagnoses did not consistently correlate with their own symptoms across all simulations, notably under certain conditions, while some symptoms showed significant correlations, especially when there was overlap between major depressive episodes and dysthymic disorder.
Background Relative measures, including risk ratios (RRs) and odds ratios (ORs), are reported in many epidemiological studies. RRs represent how many times a condition is likely to develop when exposed to a risk factor. The upper limit of RRs is the multiplicative inverse of the baseline incidence.

Methods And Findings: Cross-sectional data on 217,363 individuals from 41,554 households from the 2004-2005 India Human Development Survey was analyzed using multiple logistic regressions.
Background: Numerous studies with varying associations between domestic use of solid biomass fuels (wood, dung, crop residue, charcoal) and respiratory diseases have been reported.
Objective: To present the current data systematically associating use of biomass fuels with respiratory outcomes in rural women and children.
Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in 13 electronic databases.
