Outcomes of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) Compared to Open Repair in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: An Umbrella Meta-Analysis.

This umbrella meta-analysis aims to investigate two surgical treatments for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA): endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and open surgery repair (OSR). Our study aims to elucidate the 30-day mortality rate, reintervention rates, and aneurysm-related mortality in EVAR versus OSR for AAA.  We conducted a comprehensive assessment of meta-analyses ( = 34 articles) comparing EVAR and OSR for AAA.

KRAS as a Prognostic and Predictive Marker in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: A Systematic Review.

Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) poses a significant clinical challenge, prompting a focused investigation into the role of KRAS mutations in prognosis and treatment response. Targeted therapies offer promising avenues for intervention, motivating a comprehensive analysis of existing evidence. Conducted in June 2023, our review delved into MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials.
