AbstractCompared with the general population, hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors are at elevated risk for developing solid subsequent neoplasms (SNs). The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) is a key resource for quantifying solid SN incidence following HCT, but the completeness of SN ascertainment...
ImportanceSignificant insurance status disparities have been demonstrated in head and neck cancer (HNC) outcomes. The effects of insurance status on HNC outcomes may be explained by differential access to high-quality care.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of insurance status with the quality of the treating hospital and receipt of guideline-com...
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated change (Δ) in AMSS in men with adult-onset testosterone deficiency (TD) on/not on testosterone undecanoate (TU) by analysing a registry of men with adult-onset TD. METHODS: Analyses were performed using non-parametric statistics to determine ΔAMSS at 6-12 monthly intervals in men on/not on TU and movement in AMSS. Factors pr...

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is an age-associated phenomenon leading to an increased risk of both hematologic malignancy and nonmalignant organ dysfunction. Increasingly available genetic testing has made the incidental discovery of CH clinically common yet evidence-based guidelines and effective management strategies to prevent adverse CH health outc...
BackgroundGranulomatous mastitis (GM) is a benign, chronic, inflammatory disease lacking clear treatment guidelines. The purpose of this American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) prospective, multisite registry was to characterize the presentation of GM and identify treatment strategies associated with symptom resolution and optimal cosmesis.Meth...

AIMS: Prior case series showed promising results for cardioneuroablation in patients with vagally induced atrioventricular blocks (VAVBs). We aimed to examine the acute procedural characteristics and intermediate-term outcomes of electroanatomical-guided cardioneuroablation (EACNA) in patients with VAVB. METHODS AND RESULTS: This international mult...
BACKGROUND: Recanalization of target veins after treatment of superficial venous incompetence has clinical implications and may depend on the type of intervention. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient and procedural factors associated with truncal vein recanalization in a large study cohort using the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) Varic...
peer reviewed / [en] BACKGROUND: Left atrial appendage (LAA) occluder embolization is an infrequent but serious complication. OBJECTIVES: We aim to describe timing, management and clinical outcomes of device embolization in a multi-center registry. METHODS: Patient characteristics, imaging findings and procedure and follow-up data were collected re...
