Assessment of the intensity, dynamics and determinants of the antibody response after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination in the general population is critical to guide vaccination policies. This study characterized the anti-spike IgG titers in 13,971 participants included in a French multicohort population-based serological survey on COVID-19 betw...

Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have been associated with increased risk of pneumonia. Their impact on respiratory virus infections is unclear. We performed a post-hoc analysis of the FLUVAC cohort, a multicenter prospective cohort study of adults hospitalized with influenza-like illness (ILI) during six consecutive influenza seasons (2012–2018). All...

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk prediction equations apply to older adults. For this study, the Pathobiologic Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) risk score, based on post-mortem measurements of atherosclerosis in 15-34-year olds dying accidentally, was used to predict ASCVD events, specifically myocardial infarction...

Cervical lymph node (CLN) metastasis (CLNM) can be found in some patients with CLN-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), while the risk factors are still unknown. This study aimed to examine the risk factors of CLNM in patients with cN0 PTMC, contributing to screening cN0 PTMC patients with high risk in CLNM for preventive CLN dis...

Septic arthritis (SA) is a dangerous condition that requires emergency treatment. Managed by culture-specific antibiotics, irrigation, and debridement (I&D), some patients require repeat surgical treatment. The objectives were to determine the risk factors for SA and risk factors for repeat arthroscopic I&D in SA patients. We hypothesized that vari...

This study aimed to develop and validate machine-learning models for the prediction of recurrent infection in patients following revision total knee arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection. A total of 618 consecutive patients underwent revision total knee arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection. The patient cohort included 165 patie...

The identification of risk factors for severe injury is crucial in trauma triage and trauma team activation (TTA) depends on a sufficient triage. The aim of this study was to determine whether or not elevated serum lactate levels and age are risk factors for severe injury in TTA due to trauma mechanism. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in ...

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common postpartum disorder. In this study, we aim to identify the risk factors for SUI in multiparous women 1 year after delivery. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in multiparous women who gave birth from January 2016 to March 2018 in Peking University Third Hospital. We interviewed all of the partic...

Based on the rising incidence of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA), bundled payment models may be applied to revision TKA in the near future. Facility discharge represents a significant cost factor for those bundled payment models; however, accurately predicting discharge disposition remains a clinical challenge. The purpose of this study was ...
