Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a significant public health concern in rural areas, often leading to nutritional and physical impairment, particularly in children. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of ...
To investigate the associations between both age and the hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and the 30-day and 1-year mortality in ischemic stroke (IS) patients and to analyze the mediating effect of the HGI on the relationship between age and mortalit...
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...
AIMS: Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a prevalent and detrimental complication associated with corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). While existing predictive models have been able to predict PJK, they have lacked individualized ...
OBJECTIVES: Pancreatitis is common following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Despite increased vigilance of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), both its incidence and associated mortality are rising. Risk prediction models may provid...
OBJECTIVES: During emergency surgery, patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) experience unfavourable outcomes throughout their hospital stay. The combination of total aortic arch replacement (TAR) and frozen elephant trunk (FET) implant...
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) mainly occurs in children under 5 years old, and the most common complication of KD is coronary artery lesion (CAL). In recent years, the incidence rate of KD has increased year by year worldwide, so it is particular...
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...
Childhood stunting is a persistent public health challenge in Ethiopia, significantly impacting children's physical growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. This study overcame a key limitation in previous stunting prediction models by ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, yet the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluate a panel of 12 circulating biomarkers representing diverse pathophysiological pathways in 3817 AF patien...
