Objective: This study investigates ChatGPT's accuracy, readability, understandability, and actionability in responding to patient queries on sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in English and Spanish, when compared to Google responses. The objective is to address concerns regarding its proficiency in addressing medical inquiries when presented in a language divergent from its primary programming.
Study Design: Observational.
Importance: The practice of deprescribing antihypertensive medications is common among long-term care residents, yet the effect on cardiovascular outcomes is unclear.
Objective: To compare the incidence of hospitalization for myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke among long-term care residents who are deprescribed or continue antihypertensive therapy.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This comparative effectiveness research study used target trial emulation with observational electronic health record data from long-term care residents aged 65 years or older admitted to US Department of Veterans Affairs community living centers between October 1, 2006, and September 30, 2019, and taking at least 1 antihypertensive medication.
The donor shortage increases liver transplantation (LT) waiting lists, making it crucial to consider extended-criteria donors, such as steatotic donors after brain death (DBDs) or cardiocirculatory death (DCDs). Nevertheless, steatosis, brain death, and cardiocirculatory death are key risk factors for poor LT outcomes. We investigated the role and therapeutic usefulness of several adipocytokines to protect such grafts from extended-criteria donors.
