Choosing between revision endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) versus biologic therapy for recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a complex, multifaceted decision that involves not only clinical and financial factors but also patient preferences. Currently, there are no quantitative studies investigating patient preferences for CRSwNP treatment options. Increased awareness of patient-centered approaches to treatment warrant further investigation.

Objective: The prognosis of older adults is strongly influenced by the relation of multifactorial geriatric syndromes (GS) and their health-maintaining counterparts, geriatric resources (GR). The present analysis aimed to identify clusters of comorbidities, GS and GR, and to measure their multidimensional prognostic signature in older patients admitted to different healthcare settings.
Design: Pooled secondary analysis of three longitudinal interventional studies with the 3- and 6-month follow-up data collection on mortality and rehospitalisation.

Introduction: Early lung cancer screening (LCS) through low-dose CT (LDCT) is crucial but underused due to various barriers, including incomplete or inaccurate patient smoking data in the electronic health record and limited time for shared decision-making. The objective of this trial is to investigate a patient-centred intervention, MyLungHealth, delivered through the patient portal. The intervention is designed to improve LCS rates through increased identification of eligible patients and informed decision-making.
