Cause of death in clinical research

Key Points

• This research aims to analyze the causes of death reported in clinical studies to improve understanding of mortality factors.
• Conducted a systematic review of clinical research articles focusing on reported causes of death.
• Analyzed data on mortality rates and associated risk factors in specific patient populations.
• Utilized statistical methods to identify significant correlations between biomarkers and mortality.
• Found that common causes of death included cardiovascular diseases (35%) and cancer (25%).
• Identified specific biomarkers associated with increased mortality risk (HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.8-3.5, p<0.001).
• Noted variations in mortality rates based on patient demographics and underlying health conditions.
