Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between COVID-19, hypercoagulability, and socioeconomic factors in the United States, focusing on conditions like pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- - An analysis of over 322,000 COVID-19 patients from the National Inpatient Sample database revealed significant correlations between the disease and higher rates of PE (OR 2.04) and DVT (OR 1.44), alongside various socioeconomic factors affecting these conditions.
- - Key factors increasing PE and DVT risk included Black race, higher income, geographic location, hospital type, insurance status, hypertension, and obesity, while decreased risk was observed in Asian or Pacific Islander patients.
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains the leading malignancy affecting men, with over 3 million men living with the disease in the US, and an estimated 288,000 new cases and almost 35,000 deaths in 2023 in the United States alone. Over the last few decades, imaging has been a cornerstone in PCa care, with a crucial role in the detection, staging, and assessment of PCa recurrence or by guiding diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. To improve diagnostic accuracy and outcomes in PCa care, remarkable advancements have been made to different imaging modalities in recent years.
