Background: In India, the prevalence of Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT) studies in different groups are focused on high-risk populations - HIV-positive women and female sex workers - and have shown a variable prevalence rate ranging from 1.1 to 45%. One concern about comparing these studies is that the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test is estimated to be only 65-70% sensitive.

Previous studies suggest that epidural analgesia (EA) may reduce AP severity and improve outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of EA on in-hospital outcomes in AP patients.

- - This study aimed to find minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) thresholds for assessing outcomes after hallux valgus surgery, focusing on patient-reported measures like the VAS and FAAM scores.
- - Researchers did a retrospective analysis on patients from January 2021 to December 2022, collecting preoperative and 1-year postoperative data, using both distribution-based and anchor-based methods to determine MCID and PASS.
- - The study found specific MCID thresholds (e.g., 10.8 for FAAM-ADL) and PASS thresholds (e.g., ≥78.5 for FAAM-ADL) with varying percentages of patients meeting these thresholds, indicating important
