Background: Segmental chromosome aberrations, defined as presence of aberrations, deletion, or imbalance in the chromosomal arms, have long been considered as a predictor of poor prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma. The objective of this meta-analysis is to quantitively analyze the hazard ratios (HRs) of different whole or segmental chromosome aberrations for overall survival (OS) rate or event-free survival (EFS) rate of patients with neuroblastoma.
Methods: Relevant studies about chromosome, neuroblastoma, predictor, prognosis, and survival published from the inception to April 2023 in the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched, screened, and reviewed.
Background: Postoperative delirium is one of the common complications after any major surgery such as gastrointestinal surgery. And it is related to increased mortality and morbidity and other serious surgical outcomes.
Aims: This study aims to identify risk factors for postoperative delirium in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
Incidence of hepatoblastoma has been increasing, but the causes of this disease remain unclear. Some studies have suggested that abnormal expressions of gene are associated with multiple cancers. This study aims to test the hypothesis that hepatoblastoma risk may be modulated by genetic polymorphisms in gene based on genotyped data from samples of 328 cases and 1476 controls enrolled from eight hospitals in China.
