Background: In high-income countries, retinoblastoma is curable in more than 95% of cases, whereas in low-income countries, mortality remains high, especially when the diagnosis is made late or the treatment is discontinued.
Aims: To determine the factors associated with adherence to the treatment of retinoblastoma in the Ivory Coast and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Methods And Results: A retro-prospective cohort study was carried out.
Objectives: Nigrostriatal dopaminergic denervation (NSDD) remains poorly characterized in cerebellar multiple system atrophy (MSA-C). We aimed to study NSDD progression in MSA-C and evaluate the capacity for [123I]-FP-CIT-SPECT and parkinsonism to differentiate MSA-C from idiopathic late-onset cerebellar ataxia (ILOCA).
Methods: We included 85 patients successively referred for sporadic late-onset cerebellar ataxia (SLOCA).
Introduction: Patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) are at very high risk of subsequent cardiovascular events. This study evaluated the association of treatment intensity and adherence to lipid-lowering therapies (LLT) with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among post-MI patients in Germany.
Methods: We carried out a retrospective cohort study using German health claims data (2010-2015).
Objectives: Administrative claims data are prone to underestimate the burden of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD).
Methods: We developed machine learning-based algorithms using historical claims data from cases with NTM-PD to predict patients with a high probability of having previously undiagnosed NTM-PD and to assess actual prevalence and incidence. Adults with incident NTM-PD were classified from a representative 5% sample of the German population covered by statutory health insurance during 2011-2016 by the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision code A31.
