Prognostic role of suPAR in acute pancreatitis: A protocol for systematic review.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common emergency condition with high morbidity, mortality, and socio-economic impact. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a potential biomarker for AP prognosis. This study systematically reviews the literature on suPAR's prognostic roles in assessing AP severity, organ failure, mortality, and other pathological markers.

Low triiodothyronine (T3) levels predict worse outcomes in autoimmune encephalitis-A meta-analysis of current literature.

Introduction: An unusual association between thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune encephalitis (AE) was noticed when patients presented with low free triiodothyronine (fT3) levels and antithyroid antibodies. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate whether thyroid dysfunction, that is, lower fT3 levels are associated with worsening clinical manifestations and prognosis in patients with AE.

Methods: Literature search of five electronic databases was performed till April 5, 2023.
