In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Q: Context: Although N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has a strong relationship with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), few studies have examined whether NT-proBNP adds to risk prediction algorithms, particularly in women.', 'This study sought to evaluate the relationship between NT-proBNP and incident CVD in women.', "Using a prospective case-cohort within the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) observational study, we selected 1,821 incident cases of CVD (746 myocardial infarctions, 754 ischemic strokes, 160 hemorrhagic strokes, and 161 other cardiovascular [CV] deaths) and a randomly selected reference cohort of 1,992 women without CVD at baseline.", 'Median levels of NT-proBNP were higher at study entry among incident cases (120.3 ng/l [interquartile range (IQR): 68.1 to 219.5 ng/l]) than among control subjects (100.4 ng/l [IQR: 59.7 to 172.6 ng/l]; p\xa0< 0.0001). Women in the highest quartile of NT-proBNP (≥140.8 ng/l) were at 53% increased risk of CVD versus those in the lowest quartile after adjusting for traditional risk factors (1.53 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.21 to 1.94]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001). Similar associations were observed after adjustment for Reynolds Risk Score covariables (1.53 [95% CI: 1.20 to 1.95]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001); the association remained in separate analyses of CV death (2.66 [95% CI: 1.48 to 4.81]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001), myocardial infarction (1.39\xa0[95% CI: 1.02 to 1.88]; p for trend\xa0= 0.008), and stroke (1.60 [95% CI: 1.22 to 2.11]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001). When added to traditional risk covariables, NT-proBNP improved the c-statistic (0.765 to 0.774; p\xa0= 0.0003), categorical net reclassification (0.08; p\xa0< 0.0001), and integrated discrimination (0.0105; p\xa0<\xa00.0001). Similar results were observed when NT-proBNP was added to the Reynolds Risk Score.\Question: Do b-type natriuretic peptides improve cardiovascular disease risk prediction in a cohort of women?

A: In this multiethnic cohort of women with numerous CV events, NT-proBNP modestly improved measures of CVD risk prediction.

Q: Context: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) was shown to improve the immune function and survival in experimental sepsis. This study examined the effect of DHEA on intestinal leukocyte recruitment during experimental sepsis, considering factors of gender (male, female and ovariectomized female animals) and combined treatment using orthovanadate (OV) in two models of sepsis.', 'Male rats underwent colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) or endotoxemia. DHEA was administered after induction of experimental sepsis. Changes in leukocyte adherence and capillary perfusion (measured as intestinal functional capillary density - FCD) were assessed using intravital microscopy. While DHEA increased baseline leukocyte adherence in control animals, DHEA reduced leukocyte adherence and increased FCD in male animals with CASP. These effects were also observed in DHEA-treated ovariectomized female rats with CASP. Similarly, the administration of DHEA reduced the number of adherent leukocytes to intestinal venules by 30% in the endotoxemia model. The combined treatment of DHEA and OV significantly reduced adherence of leukocytes to intestinal venules and improved FCD.\Question: Does combination of dehydroepiandrosterone and orthovanadate administration reduce intestinal leukocyte recruitment in models of experimental sepsis?

A: Our results indicate that DHEA is able to reduce intestinal leukocyte recruitment induced by experimental sepsis. Combination of DHEA with OV inhibits leukocyte adherence to intestinal endothelium, similar to what is achieved by the single administration of DHEA but with significantly improved FCD. These findings suggest a potential role for DHEA and OV in clinical sepsis.

Q: Context: To investigate the factors related to communications in home medical care settings, and the association between such factors and a patient's place of death.", 'A questionnaire survey of 295 families of patients who had previously received home medical care was carried out in June and July 2011. The response rate was 83.8% (n\u2009=\u2009227). Following the exclusion of families where the patient was still alive, or where the place of death was unknown, 143 questionnaires were available for analysis. Logistic regression was used to identify significant associations between possible factors related to communication and occurrence of home death.', "Home death was observed in 66.4% (n\u2009=\u200995) of the families analyzed. Home death was significantly associated with the frequency of doctor home-visits per week (OR 2.835, 95% CI 1.436-5.597, P\u2009=\u20090.003). There was no statistically significant association between home death and any of the other variables included: malignant tumors as primary disease, independence in daily activity, duration of home medical care, duration of doctor's visits, experience of doctor-patient communication without family, doctor-family communication without the patient or explanation from the doctor on the phone, existence of home-visit nursing services, existence of family's anxieties and/or questions, age of primary caregiver(s) and sex of primary caregiver(s).\Question: Is home death associated with frequency of physician home medical care visits : a questionnaire survey on communications in home medical care settings?

A:
The frequency of doctor home-visits was the only factor identified that was positively associated with the occurrence of home death in home medical care settings.
