Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in children with obesity correlates with metabolic dysfunction, yet interactions between anthropometrics, liver enzymes, and risk of MASLD remain unclear. This study included 219 childr...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone formation, but traditional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, waist circumference) inadequately assess metabolically active visceral adiposity. The novel Metabolic Score fo...
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most prevalent type of health care-associated infection that leads to increased morbidity and mortality and a significant economic burden. Effective prevention of SSI relies on surgeons strictly follow...
