Purpose: The study investigated the association between cell-stent area and cerebrovascular events incidence in asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS).
Materials And Methods: This is an observational, retrospective, multicenter, cohort study. Between 2012 and 2022, all patients undergoing primary CAS for severe asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis were evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- * A study found that as age increases, the likelihood of older adults receiving antiviral treatment decreases, with only 35.2% of those aged 90 and above receiving it.
- * Among patients aged 65 and older, those who did not receive antiviral treatment were more likely to suffer severe outcomes, indicating a need for improved antiviral access for older populations.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates trends and outcomes associated with donor oocyte embryo transfer cycles in the US from 2013 to 2020, focusing on whether the state of the oocyte (fresh or frozen) affects clinical pregnancy and live birth rates.* -
- Over the study period, the use of frozen embryos significantly increased, but live birth rates were found to be lower with frozen donor oocytes compared to fresh ones for both types of embryo transfer cycles.* -
- The analysis also reports the rates of successful live births and neonates with healthy birthweights, with findings indicating that fresh donor embryos yield better outcomes than frozen ones.*
Objective: To describe characteristics, trends, and outcomes of international gestational surrogacy cycles in the United States (US).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: All assisted reproductive technology cycles in the US reported to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting Systems that included an embryo transfer to a gestational carrier from 2014 to 2020.
Missing race/ethnicity data are common in many surveillance systems and registries, which may limit complete and accurate assessments of racial and ethnic disparities. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Surveillance System (NASS) has a congressional mandate to collect data on all ART cycles performed by fertility clinics in the United States and provides valuable information on ART utilization and treatment outcomes. However, race/ethnicity data are missing for many ART cycles in NASS.
