Article Synopsis
- The analysis aimed to compare patient outcomes from two large cohorts in Europe and the USA who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to assess the effectiveness of knowledge exchange among cardiovascular surgery societies.
- Data was collected from the European DuraGraft Registry (2,522 patients) and the US STS database (294,725 patients), with both groups undergoing CABG between 2016 and 2019, and factors were matched using propensity score models to ensure fair comparison of outcomes.
- Key findings revealed different patient profiles, with European patients more likely to have left main disease and receive arterial grafts, while US patients tended to have more saphenous vein grafts; however, these differences in treatment approaches were

Objectives: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have been repeatedly demonstrated to have worse clinical outcomes compared to patients without DM. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of DM on 1-year clinical outcomes after isolated CABG.
Methods: The European DuraGraft registry included 1130 patients (44.
Recent Plio-Pleistocene hominin findings have revealed the complexity of human evolutionary history and the difficulties involved in its interpretation. Moreover, the study of hominin long bone remains is particularly problematic, since it commonly depends on the analysis of fragmentary skeletal elements that in many cases are merely represented by small diaphyseal portions and appear in an isolated fashion in the fossil record. Nevertheless, the study of the postcranial skeleton is particularly important to ascertain locomotor patterns.

This issue is fundamental when considering the scarcity and quality of fossil data. From this perspective, many research projects are impeded by the amount of data available to perform tasks such as classification and predictive modeling.

Here, we report outcomes in the patient cohort undergoing isolated CABG.
Methods: The primary outcome was the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), or repeat revascularization (RR) [major adverse cardiac events (MACE)] at 1 year.
