UnknownA prospective international multisite randomized controlled trial of water exchange with and without distal cap(s) in adenoma detection.

Background

Interval cancers are linked to a low adenoma detection rate (ADR), prompting calls for benchmark-guided ADR performance improvement. Although water exchange and a straight cap (CAP) have been reported to independently improve ADR, the effects of Daisycuff™ and Endocuff ...

UnknownAssociation analyses of East Asian individuals and trans-ancestry analyses with European individuals reveal new loci associated with cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Large-scale meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >175 loci associated with fasting cholesterol levels, including total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG). With differen...

UnknownGenetically Determined Plasma Lipid Levels and Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
Results from observational studies examining dyslipidemia as a risk factor for diabetic retinopathy (DR) have been inconsistent. We evaluated the causal relationship between plasma lipids and DR using a Mendelian randomization approach. We pooled genome-wide association studies summary statistics fr...

UnknownPrognostic evaluation of quick sequential organ failure assessment score in ICU patients with sepsis across different income settings.

Background

There is conflicting evidence on association between quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and sepsis mortality in ICU patients. The primary aim of this study was to determine the association between qSOFA and 28-day mortality in ICU patients admitted for sepsis. Assoc...

UnknownImpact of common genetic determinants of Hemoglobin A1c on type 2 diabetes risk and diagnosis in ancestrally diverse populations: A transethnic genome-wide meta-analysis.

Background

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is used to diagnose type 2 diabetes (T2D) and assess glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 18 HbA1c-associated genetic variants. These variants proved to be classifiable by their like...

UnknownWorldwide Disparities in Recovery of Cardiac Testing 1 Year Into COVID-19.

Background

The extent to which health care systems have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide necessary cardiac diagnostic services is unknown.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the pandemic on cardiac testing practices, volumes and types of diagnos...

UnknownTiming of surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection: an international prospective cohort study.
Peri-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection increases postoperative mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal duration of planned delay before surgery in patients who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection. This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study included patients undergoing ele...

UnknownSARS-CoV-2 infection and venous thromboembolism after surgery: an international prospective cohort study.
SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at...
