Background: Although varenicline has been used for alcohol dependence (AD) treatment, its efficacy for this condition remains controversial.
Aims: This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assesses the efficacy and safety of varenicline in patients with AD.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and ThaiLis were systematically searched.
Objectives: The palliative performance scale (PPS) is a useful tool for predicting the survival time of palliative patients and for multidisciplinary teams in designing an appropriate care plan for patients and their families. This study aimed to (1) assess the survival time of palliative patients, (2) examine the factors associated with survival time and (3) investigate the proportion of patients whose survival time matched the time proposed by existing literature, within the Thai population.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with data drawn from five hospitals in one of the north-east provinces in Thailand.
