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.

Input: Consider Input: Context: Abnormalities of serum sodium are common after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and have been linked to poor outcome. This study analyzed whether abnormal serum sodium levels are associated with cardiac outcomes and mortality after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).', "In a prospective cohort study of SAH patients, the primary predictor variable was subjects' sodium level. Hypernatremia was defined as sodium >143 mmol/L and hyponatremia was <133 mmol/L. Cardiac troponin I (cTi) was measured and echocardiography was performed on three study days. Dichotomous outcome variables were cTi > 1.0 microg/L, left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%, presence (vs absence) of regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) of the LV, pulmonary edema, and death. Additional analyses studied the degree of hypernatremia and sodium supplementation, and the temporal relationship between hypernatremia and cardiac outcomes.", 'The study included 214 subjects. Forty-eight subjects (22%) were hypernatremic on at least one study day, and 45 (21%) were hyponatremic. After multivariate adjustment, hypernatremia was an independent predictor of LVEF <50% (OR 4.7, CI 1.3-16.2, p = 0.015), elevated cTi (OR 3.7, CI 1.2-11.9, p = 0.028), and pulmonary edema (OR 4.1 CI 1.4-1.5, p = 0.008). It was not, however a statistically significant predictor of mortality (p = 0.075).\Question: Does hypernatremia predict adverse cardiovascular and neurological outcomes after SAH?

Output: In the acute period after SAH, hypernatremia is associated with adverse cardiac outcomes and death. SAH patients with hypernatremia should be monitored for evidence of cardiac dysfunction.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Living a purposeful life is associated with better mental and physical health, including longevity. Accumulating evidence shows that these associations might be explained by the association between life purpose and regulation of physiological systems involved in the stress response. The aim of this study was to investigate the prospective associations between life purpose and allostatic load over a 10-year period.', 'Analyses were conducted using data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) survey. Assessment of life purpose, psychological covariates and demographics were obtained at baseline, while biomarkers of allostatic load were assessed at the 10-year follow-up.', 'We found that greater life purpose predicted lower levels of allostatic load at follow-up, even when controlling for other aspects of psychological well-being potentially associated with allostatic load. Further, life purpose was also a strong predictor of individual differences in self-health locus of control-i.e., beliefs about how much influence individuals can exert on their own health-which, in turn, partially mediated the association between purpose and allostatic load. Although life purpose was also negatively linked to other-health locus of control-i.e., the extent to which individuals believe their health is controlled by others/chance-this association did not mediate the impact of life purpose on allostatic load.\Question: Does purpose in life predict allostatic load ten years later?

Output: The current study provides the first empirical evidence for the long-term physiological correlates of life purpose and supports the hypothesis that self-health locus of control acts as one proximal psychological mechanism through which life purpose may be linked to positive biological outcomes.


Input: Consider Input: Context: Most children are transiently colonized with Streptococcus pneumoniae, but very few develop invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Host genetic variation of innate immunity may predispose to IPD. We investigated the effect of genetic variation in the mannose-binding lectin gene, MBL2, on susceptibility and disease severity of IPD in previously healthy children aged <5 years.', 'IPD cases were identified through national registries. DNA was obtained from the Danish Neonatal Screening Biobank. Pneumococcal serotypes were determined by Quellung reaction. The associations between MBL2 diplotypes and IPD susceptibility, serotypes, and outcome were investigated using logistic regression analysis.', 'We included 372 cases with meningitis, 907 with bacteremia, and 1263 age- and sex-matched controls; 2372 individuals were successfully genotyped and assigned MBL2 diplotypes. The median age in our combined case series was 13 months. Children with defective diplotypes were not at higher risk for meningitis than children with other diplotypes (odds ratio [OR], 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], .56-1.28). Similar results were found for bacteremia (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, .68-1.15) as well as for all cases (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, .70-1.09). There was no association with susceptibility to recurrent IPD (n = 12) for children with defective diplotypes compared with cases with a single episode (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, .07-4.13) and with all controls (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, .06-3.56). There was no association between diplotypes and mortality or between diplotypes and pneumococcal serotypes.\Question: Are mannose-binding lectin gene , MBL2 , polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease in children?


Output: Defective MBL2 polymorphisms did not predict increased IPD susceptibility in children born in Northern Europe.
