TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Question: Are clinical and serum-based markers associated with death within 1 year of de novo implant in primary prevention ICD recipients?
Answer: Individuals with more comorbidities and elevation of specific serum biomarkers were at increased risk of all-cause mortality despite being deemed as having a reasonable 1-year life expectancy. A simple risk score composed of readily available clinical data and serum biomarkers may better identify patients at high risk of early mortality and improve patient selection and counseling for primary prevention ICD therapy.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Is serum Reg-Ialpha suitable marker of metabolic syndrome?
Answer: Our study, for the first time, indicates that serum Reg-1alpha is not useful for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (Tab. 3, Ref. 7).

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Do dihydrotestosterone and bicalutamide affect periostin expression in androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines?
Answer: We confirmed the role of POSTN in promoting cancer cell growth. Although POSTN transcription is not likely to be androgen-dependent, the fact that increased cell proliferation POSTN-mediated was impaired by BIC suggests an androgen modulation of POSTN interaction proteins.

SOLUTION:
no
