The Roadmap to Integrate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Hematology Clinical Trials: An American Society of Hematology Initiative.

Clinical trial design for classical hematologic diseases is difficult because samples sizes are often small and not representative of the disease population. ASH initiated a Roadmap project to identify barriers and make progress to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into trial design and conduct. Focus groups of international experts from across the clinical trial ecosystem were conducted.

Precautions to Consider in the Analysis of Prognostic and Predictive Indices.

Understanding the differences between prognostic and predictive indices is imperative for medical research advances. We have developed a new prognostic measure that will identify the strengths, limitations, and potential applications in clinical practice.

Coronary artery calcification detected on low-dose computed tomography in high-risk participants of an Australian lung cancer screening program: A prospective observational study.

Background And Objectives: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a frequent additional finding on lung cancer screening (LCS) low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death in LCS participants. We aimed to describe prevalence of incidental CAC detected on LDCT in LCS participants without prior history of coronary artery disease (CAD), evaluate their CVD risk and describe subsequent investigation and management.
