Article Synopsis
- - The study reviews various tools designed to help transfer health technology assessment (HTA) information so that it can be effectively used in different countries, especially where local expertise is lacking due to complexity.
- - It systematically evaluated studies about these tools by searching multiple databases and assessing criteria like usability and transferability considerations, ultimately identifying 13 applicable tools from a large pool of documents.
- - Despite the development of valuable models, most were checklists rather than comprehensive HTA solutions, and there is a lack of evidence showing their implementation in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Traditional metrics like body mass index (BMI) have limitations in discerning fat distribution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of traditional and novel anthropometric indices in metabolic syndrome and its components in the south coast of Iran.

This study investigates the potential of hematological indices, specifically the neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) and lymphocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LHR), as predictors of MetS in a population from southern Iran.
Methods: Utilizing baseline data from the Bandare-Kong Non-Communicable Diseases (BKNCD) Cohort, part of the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in IrAN (PERSIAN), A total of 2,684 participants aged 35-70 years were analyzed.
Objectives: Plateletpheresis (PP) has become increasingly prevalent due to its cost-effectiveness and fewer immunological and infectious complications for recipients. This study compares hematological indices of platelet donors and instrument-related parameters in high-yield PP donors using Haemonetics MCS+ and Trima Accel.
Methods: Eligible and healthy PP donors meeting the platelet donation criteria were randomly selected.
