The CART identified four subgroups of runners with a greater prevalence of HRRI-SF: (1) ankle stiffness ≤0.42°; (2) ankle stiffness >0.42°, age ≤23.5 years, and forefoot varus >19,64°; (3) ankle stiff...
One runner profile subgroup showed that higher ankle stiffness could predict HRRI-SF without association with other variables. Distinct interactions among variables characterized the other subgroups' ...
To analyze the causes of age-specific neonatal deaths and death-associated factors in the 2021 state of Rio de Janeiro birth cohort....
Retrospective cohort of live births (LB) followed up to 27 days of delivery (<24hs, 1-6 and 7-27 days). Data obtained from the Information Systems on Live Births (2021) and Mortality (2021/2022). We d...
Of the 179,837 LB, 274 died within 24 hours, 447 within 1-6 days and 324 within 7-27 days. The neonatal mortality rate was 5.8‰ LB (CI 95%: 5.5-6.2). Neonatal survivors and deaths were heterogeneous a...
Causes of death, factors associated with neonatal death, and strength of association differed according to death-specific age. Preventive actions for neonatal death should consider sociodemographic vu...

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 570 preschool children aged 3-6 years in Xingtai City through questionnaire surveys and oral examinations to understand their dental caries situation. Multifac...
Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in age (χ...
Multiple factors result in early dental caries in preschool children aged 3-6 years; however, the most influential factors are older age and high snack consumption, as well as high sugary and sweet fo...
To investigate the impact of ageing on survival outcomes in Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treated non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients and its synergy with adequate BCG treatment....
Patients with NMIBC who received BCG treatment from 2001 to 2020 were divided into group 1 (< = 70 years) and group 2 (> 70 years). Overall Survival (OS), Cancer-Specific Survival (CSS), Recurrence-Fr...
Overall, 2602 NMIBC patients were included: 1051 (40.4%) and 1551 (59.6%) in groups 1 and 2, respectively. At median follow-up of 11.0 years, group 1 (< = 70 years) was associated with better OS, CSS,...
Being younger (< = 70 years) was associated with better OS, CSS, and RFS, but not PFS. Older patients (> 70 years) who received adequate BCG treatment had similar PFS as those younger with adequate BC...
History, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, troponin risk score and troponin level follow-up are used to safely discharge low-risk patients with suspected non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome f...
A total of 949 non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome patients admitted to the emergency department from 01.01.2019 to 01.10.2019 were included in this retrospective study. History, electrocardiogra...
The mean age of the patients was 67.9 (56.4-79) years; 57.3% were male and 42.7% were female. Six-month mortality was significantly lower in the high-risk history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors...
Patients with high history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, troponin risk scores are generally treated with coronary angioplasty as soon as possible. We found that the mortality rate of this gro...
Cervical cancer ranks third in terms of cancer incidence and mortality in Cape Verde. Understanding the factors associated with the age of cervical cancer screening (CCS) is essential because it helps...
Data from the 2020 WHO STEPs survey were used. We analyzed data from 1,082 women aged 30-69 years who had ever screened for cervical cancer. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models wer...
Overall, 30.6% of women in the study had their first CCS before or at age 30. Except for visits to the health facility within the last 12 months, all variables significantly predicted women's first ag...
