Article Synopsis
- Firefighting is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, but current screening guidelines don't factor in occupational exposure.
- A study involved 1347 firefighters undergoing low-dose CT scans, revealing that 3% had high-risk lung nodules, with most being individuals not eligible for screening.
- The findings suggest that firefighting could independently lead to high-risk lung nodules, indicating a need to revise screening guidelines to include occupational hazards.
Purpose: To perform a systematic review of clinical trials examining non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to better understand the equity afforded to women in the study of lung cancer.
Methods: An electronic search was conducted for all NSCLC clinical trials published between 2010 and 2020 with included words "carcinoma, non-small cell, lung" and "non-small cell lung cancer." Studies from PubMed, Cochrane, and SCOPUS were included and were uploaded into Covidence to assist with systematic review.
Background: The association of an individual's social determinants of health-related problems with surgical outcomes has not been well-characterized. The objective of this study was to determine whether documentation of social determinants of a health-related diagnosis code (Z code) is associated with postoperative outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included surgical cases from a single institution's national surgical quality improvement program (NSQIP) clinical registry from October 2015 to December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is becoming more common, so preventing it in people at risk (called Stage A and Stage B) is really important to stop it from getting worse.
- First, it's important to find out who is at risk by looking at health factors and family history, then use specific tools to measure their risk.
- Finally, helping people with advice and new treatments, along with using technology like telemedicine, can make it easier for at-risk groups to get care and improve heart health.
Background: Conditional survival (CS) analyses provide an estimate of survival accounting for years already survived after treatment. We aim to evaluate the difference between actuarial and conditional survival in patients following lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition, CS analyses are used to examine whether prognosticators of survival change over time following surgery.
