Risk of bias (RoB) assessment is essential to the systematic review methodology. The new version Cochrane RoB tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) was published in 2019 address limitations identified since first 2008 and increase reliability assessments. This study analyzed frequency usage 2 adequacy reporting assessments non-Cochrane reviews 2020. meta-research included interventions For that used tool, we assessment. Among 3880 reviews, 1 most frequently (N = 2228; 57.4%), followed by 267;...
BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common but underdiagnosed cause of hypertension. Many patients experience preventable end-organ injury due to delayed or missed diagnosis data on the are limited. METHODS: We evaluated lived PA and determines factors associated with diagnostic delay through an international anonymous online cross-sectional survey, codesigned by researchers consumers. distributed survey academic medical centers, Amazon Mechanical Turk, Twitter, patient advocacy...
Abstract Introduction There are currently limited data regarding the clinical and economic significance of skin soft tissue infections (SSTI) bone joint in Australian people who inject drugs (PWID). Methods Retrospective cohort study adult PWID admitted to Monash Health, a large heath care network with six hospitals Victoria, Australia. Inpatients were identified using administrative datasets International Classification Disease (ICD-10) coding for specific infection-related conditions. Cost...
There is conflicting evidence regarding whether excess adiposity without metabolic abnormalities reflects a truly benign phenotype. This study evaluated the independent and joint associations of presence on arterial stiffness.
People who inject drugs (PWID) are known to be at increased risk of infectious diseases including bacterial and blood-borne viral infections. However, there is limited literature surrounding the burden spinal infections as a complication injecting drug use (IDU).To quantify clinical financial IDU-related infections.Retrospective chart review adult PWID with requiring hospital admission tertiary health service in Melbourne, Australia between 2011 2019.Fifty-seven 63 episodes were identified...
Coronary embolism is a relatively rare but important non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome, mainly caused by atrial fibrillation and mechanical heart valve thrombosis due to subtherapeutic anticoagulation. There have been increasing reports bioprosthetic (BPVT), thromboembolic events are affect the cerebrovascular system. an extremely complication BPVT.A 64-year-old male presented with non-ST-Elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Australian regional health service. Three...
Background and Objective: There is conflicting evidence as to whether so called metabolically healthy but overweight obese individuals are at increased cardiovascular risk or mortality. We assessed metabolic health correlates with vascular among these using arterial stiffness a proxy for risk. Methods: Participants in UK Biobank body-mass index (BMI) (ASI) recorded between 2006 2010, free from diseases not underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m2) were included. stratified by BMI abnormalities...
Background and Objective: Primary aldosteronism (PA), characterised by excessive aldosterone production mineralocorticoid receptor activation, is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes including left ventricular hypertrophy failure. Elevated risk observed even in milder subclinical forms of PA, based on studies primarily conducted middle-aged elderly populations. It unclear if the biomarkers renin, aldosterone, aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR), are mass index (LVMI), which a strong...
BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism, characterized by renin-independent aldosterone production, is associated with adverse cardiovascular remodeling and outcomes. Elevated risk observed even in subclinical forms of primary aldosteronism according to studies conducted primarily middle-aged elderly populations. This study aimed assess whether early changes biomarkers during young adulthood are arterial stiffness left ventricular mass index (LVMI) before the onset overt disease. METHODS: The...
Abstract Background There is conflicting evidence as to whether so called metabolically healthy but overweight and obese individuals are at increased cardiovascular risk or mortality. Purpose We assessed metabolic health correlates with vascular among these using severity of arterial stiffness a proxy for risk. Methods Participants in UK Biobank body-mass index (BMI) (ASI) recorded initial assessment between 2006-2010, free from stroke myocardial infarction not underweight...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels caused insulin deficiency. According to data from the International Federation, as many 80% of diabetes patients worldwide live in developing countries, one which Indonesia. Indonesia ranks fifth world for highest number patients, including Kuala Pembuang area with rate 1.1%. This study aims determine whether there are differences each variable affecting length hospitalization type-II at RSUD...
Abstract Background Primary aldosteronism (PA), characterised by excessive aldosterone production and mineralocorticoid receptor activation, is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes including left ventricular hypertrophy failure. Elevated risk observed even in milder subclinical forms of PA, especially middle-aged elderly populations. It unclear if early changes PA biomarkers can affect mass index (LVMI), which a strong predictor diseases. Aim To evaluate the relationship between...
Even though rabies has been claiming more than 50,000 deaths annually worldwide, it is considered as a vaccine-preventable viral disease. More 95 % of the total human cases are caused by dogs. During initial stage infection, affected individuals usually show weakess at bitten extremities and virus can ultimately travel to brain causing neurological signs. In attenuated (inactivated) form, currently in use vaccines have recommended WHO for prevention (i.e. pre-exposure prophylaxis, PrEP)...
<b>Background:</b> The most effective treatment for community-acquired childhood pneumonia complicated by empyema remains uncertain. <b>Aim and objectives:</b> This review aims to systematically compare options reported in pediatric literature, examining whether hospital length of stay (LOS), complication rates, cost differ based on the modality employed. <b>Study Design Methods:</b> We conducted a living systematic randomized controlled trials. Studies were included if they targeted...
