Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported the number of patients evaluated for eligibility before randomization, focusing on research published between 2013 and 2015 in major oncology journals.
- Out of 456 reviewed RCTs, 236 (51.8%) provided information on patient eligibility and 184 of those (78%) detailed reasons for patient exclusion.
- The findings suggest that while most trials included flow diagrams, only a minority discussed the generalizability of results, indicating a need for better adherence to reporting guidelines to improve clarity on trial applicability.
Objective: The study objective was to compare clinical outcomes in a dedicated adult cardiac surgery intensive care unit before and after the implementation of 24-hour intensivist coverage.
Methods: Between 2008 and 2016, 16,454 consecutive adult patients were admitted to the cardiac surgery intensive care unit after cardiac surgery. During this period, postoperative patients in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit were managed by intensivists during the day (group A); in July 2010, the nighttime coverage was transferred from the hands of residents and fellows to intensivists (group B).
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of performing sheathless 5Fr transradial percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) using 4Fr diagnostic catheters as dilators.
Background: There is a direct association between artery-catheter mismatch and risk of radial artery occlusion.
Methods: We recruited 130 patients who underwent 4Fr sheathless diagnostic angiography with super torque (Cordis Corporation, USA) catheters followed by ad hoc PCI.
