Methods: In the present multicenter retrospective study, treatment-naive advanced HCC patients (BCLC stage C) showing high tumor burden (maximum diameter of intrahepatic lesion beyond 7 cm) treated with lenvatinib and tislelizumab with or without HAIC were reviewed for eligibility from June 2020 to June 2023. Baseline differences between groups were mitigated by propensity score matching (PSM).
Background: Adverse life experiences have been associated with increased susceptibilities to psychopathology in later life. However, their impact on psychological responses following physical trauma remains largely unexplored.
Methods: Based on the China Severe Trauma Cohort, we conducted a cohort study of 2937 patients who were admitted to the Trauma Medical Center of West China Hospital between June 2020 and August 2023.
Purpose: We aimed to conduct a retrospective analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone in patients with membranous nephropathy (MN).
Methods: This study conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with MN who were treated with finerenone for follow-up period ranging from 3 to 6 months. The study compared the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine total protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), serum creatinine concentration (SCr), blood pressure and serum potassium (K+) during the follow-up period.
