Prognostic factors and survival outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Ipsilateral pulmonary metastasis (IPM) are not well-defined. Thus, this study intended to identify the prognostic fa...
One thousand, seven hundred thirty-two patients with IPM identified between 2000 to 2019 were from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Independent prognostic factors were ...
Patients were randomly divided into training (n = 1213) and validation (n = 519) cohorts. In the training cohort, the multivariable analysis demonstrated that age, sex, primary tumor size, N status, n...
We constructed and internally validated a nomogram to predict 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS for NSCLC patients with IPM according to independent prognostic factors. This nomogram demonstrated good cal...
The lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) has been used as a novel prognostic indicator for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, sepsis, heart failure, and acute respiratory failure. Howe...
This retrospective cohort study used data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) (v2.0) database. It included 568 IS adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). ...
Among the 568 patients with IS, 370 survived (survival group) and 198 died (non-survival group) within 28 days of admission (mortality rate: 34.9%). A multivariate COX regression analysis indicated th...
LAR can serve as an independent predictor of all-cause mortality within 28 days after admission for patients with IS....
To investigate the association between handgrip strength (HGS) with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in US adults....
We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) prospective cohort study (2011-2014) with 10,470 participants. The cox regression analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival cu...
The low HGSs (men <37.4 kg, women <24 kg), was found to be associated with higher all-cause and CVD mortality in a reverse J-shaped curve (...
Adults with low HGS exhibited a significantly increased risk of both all-cause and CVD mortality, regardless of gender. Additionally, low HGS served as an independent risk factor and predictor for bot...
Crohn's-related rectovaginal fistulas (RVF) greatly impact quality of life and are notoriously difficult to treat. The aim of this study was to assess the burden of recurrent episodes of care for RVF ...
A retrospective observational cohort study of administrative US claims databases was conducted. Eligible patients were female adults, with a diagnosis code for Crohn's disease with or without a diagno...
Mean ages in the RVF cohort (n = 963) and RVF-free cohort (n = 56,564) were 47.2 and 50.8 years, with a mean follow-up period of 58.7 and 49.8 months, respectively. For the RVF cohort, the probability...
This real-world study highlights the significant impact of RVF in patients with Crohn's disease with regard to repeat interventions and associated HCRU and direct healthcare costs, suggesting novel th...
The World Health Organization recently described sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) as a possible adverse effect of COVID-19 vaccines. Recent discordant pharmacoepidemiologic studies invite rob...
This nationwide study aimed to assess the relationship between SSNHL and exposure to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and estimate the reporting rate (Rr) of SSNHL after mRNA vaccination per 1 million doses (pr...
We performed a retrospective review of all suspected cases of SSNHL after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination spontaneously reported in France between January 2021 and February 2022 based on a comprehensive med...
From 400 extracted cases for tozinameran and elasomeran, 345 (86.3%) spontaneous reports were selected. After reviewing complementary data, 49.6% (171/345) of documented cases of SSNHL were identified...
SSNHL after COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are very rare adverse events that do not call into question the benefits of mRNA vaccines but deserve to be known given the potentially disabling impact of sudden de...
Cervical cancer and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) share common demographic risk factors. Despite this, scarce research has examined the relationship between race/ethnicity, having T2D, and cervical cancer inc...
Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and intramedullary nail fixation (IMN) are the predominant repair methods for operative treatment of humeral diaphyseal fractures; however, the optimal method i...
Data collected from 2015 to 2017 from the Nationwide Readmissions Database were evaluated to compare the prevalence of six adverse outcomes: radial nerve palsy, infections, nonunion, malunion, delayed...
Following an ORIF procedure, there was a greater odds of undergoing revision surgery (p = 0.03) or developing at least one of the complications of interest (p = 0.03). In the age-stratified analysis, ...
IMN and ORIF for humeral diaphyseal fractures are comparable in regard to complications revision rates in patients under the age of 60. Meanwhile, patients 60 + years show a statistically significant ...
Vasopressors are a cornerstone in the management of sepsis, marked by distributive shock often unresponsive to fluid resuscitation. Prior research and clinician surveys have suggested that earlier usa...
A retrospective cohort was constructed using patient data contained within the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database. Analytic cohort included a total of 2079 patients meeting sepsis...
Time to NE use was defined as either early, using <6 hours from time of ICU admission or late using >6 hours to ≤24 hours. Patients who received early NE had significantly lower adjusted odds of morta...
Among patients admitted to the ICU for sepsis, early use of NE was associated with significantly lower odds of mortality but higher odds of mechanical ventilation, and no significant difference in len...
Level IV-therapeutic care/management....
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to platelet ratio (RPR) is a novel inflammatory indicator. It integrates the risk prediction of RDW and platelet, which is associated with adverse outcomes. How...
Data on patients with AMI were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Patients were divided into two groups according to the optimal RPR cut-off value. ...
A total of 1266 patients were enrolled, of which 83 (6.8%) died within 180 days during the hospitalization. Compared with the survivor group, the non-survivor group had higher RPR on admission (0.11 ±...
Higher RPR was associated with higher in-hospital 180-day mortality in patients with AMI....
Since most patients with heart failure are re-admitted to the hospital, accurately identifying the risk of re-admission of patients with heart failure is important for clinical decision making and man...
