The omicron variant (B.1.1.529) of SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated partial vaccine escape and high transmissibility, with early studies indicating lower severity infection than that the delta (B.1.617.2). We aimed to better characterise relative by assessing risk hospital attendance, admission, or death in a large national cohort.
The SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) variant was first detected in England March, 2021. It has since rapidly become the predominant lineage, owing to high transmissibility. is suspected that associated with more severe disease than previously dominant alpha (B.1.1.7) variant. We aimed characterise severity of compared by determining relative risk hospital attendance outcomes.
<b>Objective</b> To compare the survival outcomes of patients treated with surgery or radiotherapy for prostate cancer. <b>Design</b> Observational study. <b>Setting</b> Sweden, 1996-2010. <b>Participants</b> 34 515 men primarily cancer (n=21 533) (n=12 982). Patients were categorised by risk group (low, intermediate, high, and metastatic), age, Charlson comorbidity score. <b>Main outcome measures</b> Cumulative incidence mortality from other causes.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations have been associated with prostate cancer (PCa) risk but a wide range of estimates reported that are based on retrospective studies. To estimate relative absolute PCa risks BRCA1/2 to assess modification by age, family history, mutation location. This was prospective cohort study male (n = 376) carriers 447) identified in clinical genetics centres the UK Ireland (median follow-up 5.9 5.3 yr, respectively).

Abstract Objective To evaluate the relation between diagnosis of covid-19 with SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7 (also known as concern 202012/01) and risk hospital admission compared wild-type variants. Design Retrospective cohort analysis. Setting Community based testing in England, individually linked data. Participants 839 278 patients laboratory confirmed covid-19, whom 36 233 had been admitted to within 14 days, tested 23 November 2020 31 January 2021 analysed at a an available TaqPath assay...

We surveyed the occurrence of physical symptoms among long-term gynaecological cancer survivors after pelvic radiation therapy, and compared with population-based control women.We identified a cohort 789 eligible treated therapy alone or combined surgery in Stockholm Gothenburg, Sweden. A group 478 women was randomly sampled from Swedish Population Registry. Data were collected through study-specific validated postal questionnaire 351 questions concerning gastrointestinal urinary tract...
To evaluate the effect of learning curve on operative, postoperative, and pathological outcomes first 67 totally intracorporeal robot-assisted radical cystectomies (RARCs) with neobladders performed by two lead surgeons at Karolinska University Hospital.Between December 2003 October 2012, patients (61 men six women) underwent RARC orthotopic urinary diversion main surgeons. Data were collected prospectively patient demographics, peri- postoperative including operation times, conversion...
HPV-DNA positive (HPVDNA+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has better clinical outcome than negative (HPVDNA-) OSCC. Current treatment may be unnecessarily extensive for most HPV+ OSCC, but before de-escalation, additional markers are needed together with HPV status to predict response. Here the influence of HLA class I/HLA II expression was explored. Pre-treatment biopsies, from 439/484 OSCC patients diagnosed 2000-2009 and treated curatively, were analyzed I expression,...

Abstract The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 became the globally dominant in early 2022. A sub-lineage (BA.2) was identified England January Here, we investigated hospitalisation and mortality risks COVID-19 cases with BA.2 ( n = 258,875) compared to BA.1 984,337) a large cohort study England. We estimated risk hospital attendance, admission or death using multivariable stratified proportional hazards regression models. After adjustment for confounders, had lower similar (HR 0.80, 95% CI...

All sequenced non-nosocomial adult COVID-19 cases GGC with relevant lineages (B.1.177/Alpha, Alpha/Delta, AY.4.2 Delta/non-AY.4.2 Delta, non-AY.4.2 Delta/Omicron, BA.1 Omicron/BA.2 Omicron) during periods were included.

Objective To evaluate the role of positive surgical margin (PSM) size/focality and location in relation to risk biochemical recurrence (BCR) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Patients Methods Clinicopathological data were collected from 904 patients who underwent RARP at a single European institution 2002 2006. PSM status was defined as cancer cells inked margin, stratified by location. The outcome variable BCR, postoperative PSA level ≥0.2 ng/mL. We modelled...
