Objective: To determine the risk of complications requiring treatment following male circumcision by health-care professionals and to explore the impact of participant characteristics, type of circumcision and study design.
Methods: We identified studies through systematic searches in online databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL) and hand searches. We performed random-effects meta-analysis to determine risk of circumcision complications and mixed-effects metaregression analyses to explore the impact of participant characteristics, type of circumcision and study design.
Aim Of The Study: Selection of patients for cholecystectomy is hampered by lack of objective criteria. The objectives of this cohort study were to identify if patient, symptoms, or gallstone disease characteristics determined readmission in an unselected cohort with screen-detected gallstone disease and who had experienced a first admission with symptomatic gallstone disease.
Methods: Data from three random sampled population-based cohorts were used.
Background: Gallstone disease is highly prevalent and is associated with systemic inflammation.
Aims: To determine whether screen-detected gallstones or cholecystectomy are associated with the occurrence of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases and the most common subgroups thereof.
Methods: A cohort study of three randomly selected general population samples from Copenhagen was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Gallstone disease is common in Denmark and northern Europe, with cholecystectomy being one of the most frequently performed surgeries for it.
- Research on gallstone formation has identified key mechanisms like bile cholesterol saturation and gallbladder function, but has faced limitations due to poor study designs and selective population assessments.
- A new Danish study identified both existing and new determinants such as sex, BMI, and testosterone levels, while factors like smoking and diet were not linked to gallstone disease.
Gallstone disease and pancreatitis are the most frequent benign hepato-biliary causes of hospital admissions. Gallstone disease is prevalent, but symptomatic disease develops only in about one out of five carriers. Alcohol intake seems to protect gallstone formation in cohort studies possibly through effects on bile cholesterol metabolism, the enterohepatic circulation, and gallbladder function.

The objective of this study was to determine if screen-detected gallstones or cholecystectomy was associated with development of cardiovascular disease. A cohort study of three randomly selected groups from the general population of Copenhagen was performed.

The objective of this study was to determine if screen-detected gallstones or cholecystectomy are associated with occurrence of gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal cancers.
Methods: We performed a cohort study of 3 randomly selected groups from the general population of Copenhagen.
Background: High rates of persistent symptoms are found following cholecystectomy in patients with gallstones. The aim of this population based cohort study was to determine which symptoms were associated with the development of clinical gallstone events in a population unaware of their gallstones.
Material And Methods: Three random population samples from Copenhagen (N = 6037) were examined with ultrasound during 1982-1994.
Objectives: The objective of this cohort study was to determine whether subjects with gallstone disease identified by screening of a general population had increased overall mortality when compared to gallstone-free participants and to explore causes of death.
Methods: The study population (N = 5928) was examined 1982-1992 and included an abdominal ultrasound examination to assess gallstone status, a physical examination, blood samples, and a questionnaire about medical history. Participants were followed up through national registers until 2015.
Gallstone disease is highly prevalent in the general population and is a major gastrointestinal cause of hospital admissions. The objectives were to determine whether circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were associated to ultrasound proven gallstones or cholecystectomy in a general population sample. Determinants of vitamin D status were also explored.

The objective of this systematic review was to determine if circumcision, medical indication or age at circumcision had an impact on perceived sexual function in males.
Methods: Systematic searches were performed in MEDLINE and Embase.
