The goal of this study was to provide recent data on incidence of spinal cord injuries (SCI) in Germany....
The source of information was data collected via the mandatory submission of ICD-10 GM Codes by German public hospitals after patient discharge. Data from 2013 to 2020 were retrieved from the database...
A total of 10,360 patients were reported, of whom 58.7% suffered from a cervical, 30.8% a thoracic and 10.4% a lumbar lesion. Two peaks in incidence were observed at approximately 30 and 70 years old....
This study closes a long-lasting gap in epidemiological data regarding SCI in Germany, specifically by updating the incidence rates. We found that incidence depends on age, gender and type of lesion. ...
Many crystals and crystal-like structures may be encountered in cytopathology practice and can represent both beautiful novelties and diagnostic aids. The authors present an organ-specific review of t...
Retrospective studies have suggested that long-term use of opioids can cause esophageal motility dysfunction. A recent clinical entity known as opioid-induced esophageal dysfunction (OIED) has been po...

Objectives of this study, as part of a nation-wide HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) evaluation project, were to determine the incidence of infections with HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepat...
Anonymous data of PrEP users were collected at 47 HIV-specialty centers from 09/2019-12/2020. Incidence rates were calculated per 100 person years (py). Using longitudinal mixed models, we analyzed ri...
4620 PrEP users were included: 99.2% male, median age 38 years (IQR 32-45), 98.6% men who have sex with men (MSM). The median duration of PrEP exposure was 451 days (IQR 357-488), totaling 5132 py. Fo...
We found that HIV-PrEP is almost exclusively used by MSM in Germany. A very low incidence of HIV infection and decreasing incidence rates of STIs were found in this cohort of PrEP users. The results w...
The burden of oral cancer (OC) is closely related to economic development. We aimed to evaluate the burden of OC at different stages of economic development in China in terms of incidence, mortality, ...
The "Izumo Study" revealed the incidence rate of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan, from 1980 to 1998. However, no study has been published regarding the incidence...
Incidence, prevalence, and survival are pertinent measures to inform the management and provision of prostate cancer care....
To calculate the incidence, prevalence, and survival rates for prostate cancer in the UK from 2000 to 2021....
This population-based cohort study uses routinely collected primary care data from the UK. Male patients aged 18 years or older with at least 1 year of history registered in Clinical Practice Research...
Prostate cancer incidence rates (IR), period prevalence (PP), and 1-, 5-, and 10-year survival after diagnosis between 2000 and 2021, stratified by age and calendar years....
This study included 64 925 and 133 200 patients with prostate cancer in CPRD GOLD and Aurum, respectively, with a median age of 72 (65-78) years. The overall IR of prostate cancer was 151.7 (95% CI, 1...
In this population-based cohort study, incidence and prevalence increased with older age, with high survival rates reflecting a high burden of disease, particularly in the management of cancer survivo...
The incidence of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) increased after the implementation of GIST-specific histology coding in 2001, but updated data on trends and survival are lacking....
To examine the evolving epidemiology of GISTs in major organ sites....
This descriptive, population-based cohort study used nationally representative data from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, including the SEER-22...
Organ site-specific trends in age-standardized incidence rates and annual percent changes (APCs) in rates were estimated by race and ethnicity and, when possible, by sex, age, and primary indicator. M...
The SEER-22 and SEER-17 datasets contained 23 001 and 12 109 case patients with GISTs, respectively. Patients in the SEER-22 registry had a mean (SD) age of 64 (13) years and 51.3% were men. With rega...
In this cohort study using SEER data, the incidence of GISTs in major organ sites increased in the last 2 decades among several population groups. These findings suggest that additional studies are wa...
