Background. Because of ongoing outbreaks varicella, a second dose varicella vaccine was added to the routine immunization schedule for children in June 2006 by Centers Disease Control and Prevention. Methods. We assessed effectiveness 2 doses case-control study identifying ≥4 years age with confirmed polymerase chain reaction assay up controls matched pediatric practice. Effectiveness calculated using exact conditional logistic regression. Results. From July January 2010, 71 case subjects...
What baseline predictors would be involved in mortality people with primary Sjögren syndrome (SjS) remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics collected at time of diagnosis SjS associated and identify risk factors for all-cause death deaths related systemic activity measured by ESSDAI score.In this international, real-world, retrospective, cohort study, we retrospectively data from 27 countries on causes Big Data Registry.

Long-term outcome studies after pediatric cardiac arrest (CA) are few. They require a CA registry and dedicated teams. Learning about the long-term outcomes is very important for developing prognostication guidelines, improving post-cardiac care, counseling caregivers future of their child, creating opportunities therapeutic intervention to improve outcomes. Few PICUs worldwide provide multidisciplinary follow-up program as routine practice at an outpatient clinic with standardized...
<h3>Background:</h3> Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most common, serious manifestations systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and associated with significant morbidity mortality. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To evaluate work productivity (WP) activity impairment (AI) in patients active LN at cohort entry 12 months after treatment initiation according to their renal response. <h3>Methods:</h3> GLADEL 2.0 an observational prevalent incident cohort. Forty-four centers from Latin-American countries...
<h3>Background:</h3> Neurological manifestations can occur in up to half of patients with Sjögren disease (SjD) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is most commonly involved (5-21%). <h3>Objectives:</h3> To analyze frequency phenotypic expression PNS involvement at time SjD diagnosis <h3>Methods:</h3> The Big Data Project Consortium an international, multicenter registry created 2014. Baseline clinical information from leading centers on research five continents was collected as a first...
