Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question.

Ex Input:
Question: Does clinical presentation and disease course of inflammatory bowel disease differ by race in a large tertiary care hospital?
Answer: We identified significant differences in disease characteristics and extraintestinal manifestations between AA and Ca IBD patients in a large tertiary care population. These results have implications for future genotype-phenotype studies.

Ex Output:
yes

Ex Input:
Question: Is early reduction in number of T cells producing proinflammatory cytokines , observed after extracorporeal photopheresis , linked to apoptosis induction?
Answer: Since proinflammatory cytokines play a major role in the pathology of GvHD, their down-regulation post-ECP may produce a direct clinical benefit. The lowest number of IL2-, IFNgamma- and TNFalpha-expressing T cells occurred within the apoptotic population; however, Annexin V-negative T cells also demonstrated a marked reduction post-ECP. However, the lack of an increase in IL4 and IL10 expression indicates that this process was not a consequence of skewing toward a Th2 cytokine profile.

Ex Output:
no

Ex Input:
Question: Does empiric , broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy with an aggressive de-escalation strategy induce gram-negative pathogen resistance in ventilator-associated pneumonia?
Answer: In our SICU, early, empiric broad-spectrum VAP therapy followed by de-escalation to pathogen-specific agents did not alter antimicrobial resistance and is a valid practice. Further, our compliance with de-escalation practices was higher than published rates.

Ex Output:
no
