Relation Between Familial Mediterranean Fever and QT Markers (QTc, QTd, and QTcd): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The aim of this study is to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the possible association betweenQT markers and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). PUBMED, Web of Science, OVID, and SCOPUS databases were searched. Inclusion criteria were randomized control trials or observational studies that compared measurement of the QT markers in FMF patients and healthy controls in both males and females without any age restriction or other comorbidities.

Association of familial Mediterranean fever and epicardial adipose tissue: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aim: Some studies reported a positive link between familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and epicardial adipose tissue. Our meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether there is a significant association between FMF and increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness.

Methods: We searched the following databases: PUBMED, WOS, OVID, SCOPUS, and EMBASE.

Efficacy of heads-up CPR compared to supine CPR positions: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aim: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in full-coded patients requires effective chest compressions with minimal interruptions to maintain adequate perfusion to the brain and other vital organs. Many novel approaches have been proposed to attain better organ perfusion compared to traditional CPR techniques. The purpose of this review is to investigate the safety and efficacy of heads-up CPR versus supine CPR.

Polypills for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of polypills on the primary prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events using data from clinical trials.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, and SCOPUS throughout May 2021. Two authors independently screened articles for the fulfillment of inclusion criteria.

Prehospital administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics for sepsis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Some studies have suggested that earlier initiation of antibiotics has shown positive outcomes in sepsis patients. We aimed to do a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of prehospital administration of antibiotics on 28 days mortality and length of stay in hospital and intensive care unit for sepsis patients.

Methods: We formulated a search strategy and used it on search databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase.

The role of the electrocardiogram in the recognition of cardiac transplant rejection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: In cardiac transplant recipients, the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a noninvasive measure of early allograft rejection. The ECG can predict an acute cellular rejection, thus shortening the time to recognition of rejection. Earlier diagnosis has the potential to reduce the number and severity of rejection episodes.

Ultrafiltration and cardiopulmonary bypass associated acute kidney injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass is known to raise the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Previous studies have identified numerous risk factors of cardiopulmonary bypass including the possible impact of perioperative ultrafiltration. However, the association between ultrafiltration (UF) and AKI remains conflicting.
