Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how different reasons for revision surgery in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients affect their postoperative outcomes, revealing a high incidence of reoperations.
  • A sample of 891 ASD patients was analyzed retrospectively, categorizing their revisions by cause, and assessing complications, radiographic results, and disability metrics.
  • Findings suggest that different etiologies (mechanical, infection, wound, and SI pain) lead to varying outcomes, with mechanical issues showing less improvement over time compared to others.

Background: This review aims to analyze sex-related differences in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS).

Methods: 10 studies were retrieved from PubMed and Embase comparing outcomes between men and women admitted with AMI complicated by CS. Pooled log odds ratios (OR) were calculated for binary outcomes using the Mantel-Haenszel method, and Hedges' g with the inverse-variance method was used for continuous outcomes.
