Objectives: A wide range of duration of viral RNA shedding in patients infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been observed. We aimed to investigate factors associated with prolonged and intermittent viral RNA shedding in a retrospective cohort of symptomatic COVID-19 patients.
Methods: Demographic, clinical and laboratory data from hospitalised COVID-19 patients from a single centre with two consecutive negative respiratory reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results were extracted from electronic medical records.
Introduction: Data on drug utilisation among stroke patients of Asian ethnicities are lacking. The objectives of the study were to examine the temporal trends and patient characteristics associated with prescription of thrombolytic, antithrombotic and statin medications among patients with first-ever stroke.
Materials And Methods: First-ever ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke patients admitted to 2 Singapore tertiary hospitals between 2010‒2014 were included.
Introduction: This study aimed to determine the 5-year incidence of albuminuria among Asian persons with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and to identify the risk factors at diagnosis for progression to albuminuria.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective 5-year closed cohort study was conducted among 1016 persons aged ≥18 years old who were diagnosed with type 2 DM between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2009 at primary care facilities in Singapore. The cumulative incidence of progression from normoalbuminuria to albuminuria-termed "progression"-was determined.
