We performed a case-control study to investigate the role of recent @entity281 as @entity64 risk factor and to identify pathogenetic pathways linking @entity281 and @entity64 . We examined 166 consecutive @entity1 with @entity63 and 166 @entity1 hospitalized for nonvascular and noninflammatory @entity16 . Control subjects were individually matched to @entity1 for sex, age, and season of admission. We assessed special biochemical parameters in subgroups of @entity64 @entity1 with and without recent @entity281 (n = 21) who were similar with respect to demographic and clinical parameters. Infection within the preceding week was a risk factor for @entity63 in univariate (odds ratio [OR] 3.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.57 to 6.1) and age-adjusted multiple logistic regression analysis (OR 2.9; 95% CI, 1.31 to 6.4). The OR of recent @entity281 and age were inversely related. Both @entity2348 contributed to increased risk. Infection elevated the risk for cardioembolism and tended to increase the risk for arterioarterial @entity887 . @entity64 @entity1 with and without preceding @entity281 were not different with respect to factor VII and factor VIII activity, fibrin monomer, fibrin D-dimer, @entity2880 factor, C4b-binding protein, protein S, anticardiolipin antibodies, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, soluble @entity5 @entity39 factor-alpha receptor, @entity650 , @entity687 , and neopterin. In conclusion, recent @entity281 is an independent risk factor for @entity63 . Its role appears to be more important in younger age groups. The pathogenetic linkage between @entity281 and @entity64 is still insufficiently understood.

Recent XXXX is a risk factor for @entity63 : clinical and biochemical studies.
