The purpose is to analyze the prevalence of intestinal infection in patients with pneumonia in intensive care units (ICU) and the impact of intestinal infection on the prognosis of patients with pneumonia, so as to explore the bidirectional association between pneumonia and intestinal infection. The study aims to investigate the correlation between the occurrence of pneumonia and intestinal infection among patients in the ICU, utilizing the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, as well as the impact of intestinal infection on the prognosis of pneumonia patients. The enrolled patients were first divided into pneumonia group and non-pneumonia group, and the primary outcome was that patients developed intestinal infection.

Methods: Data analysis was conducted on 2,951 individuals aged over 65 years from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey cohort. Propensity score matching was utilized to mitigate selection bias.
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Differences in social backgrounds and lifestyles in various regions and countries may contribute to the discrepancies in the disease burden of LBP.
Methods: Based on the GBD 2019, we collected and analyzed numbers and age-standardized rates (ASR) of LBP disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
Background: The global cancer burden is substantial and spiraling. Although rehabilitation specialists could offer assistance, oncologic rehabilitation is still underutilized and not a routine part of clinical oncology guidelines worldwide. Global investigations of disease prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) for tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer are valuable for facilitating clinical practice improvement and health resource management.

Methods: This study was conducted following the methodology of Global Evidence Mapping (GEM). Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO to identify systematic reviews (SRs) with or without meta-analysis published before February 15, 2022.
Objectives: To discuss the effects of physical activity on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in lung cancer patients, summarize the types of physical activity in the published reviews, assess the quality of the evidence, and provide suggestions for the clinical selection of exercise intervention.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched through 8 November 2021 to identify relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We also performed a manual search of the reference lists of included articles as supplements.
Purpose: There has been growing amount of evidence supporting the benefits of physical activity (PA) on oncological patients' cancer-related health outcomes. Although guidelines on cancer rehabilitation are widely available, the varying quality and practical applicability limited the clinical application of PA recommendations. To assist the future development of guidelines, in this systematic review, we evaluated the quality and applicability of current cancer rehabilitation guidelines with PA recommendations and synthesized PA recommendations for the oncological population.
