Background: Tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancers (TBL cancers) pose a significant global health challenge, with rising incidence and mortality rates, particularly in China. Studies from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), 2021, can guide screening and prevention strategies for TBL cancer. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the burden of TBL cancers in China compared to global data.

Background: Immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy has demonstrated promising efficacy in stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the optimal timing for immunotherapy intervention during radiotherapy remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) administered concurrently or sequentially with chemoradiotherapy in unresectable stage III NSCLC.

Purpose: The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has historically been calculated with a race-coefficient multiplier (RCM); however, the RCM has been broadly criticized as inaccurate and a potential contributor to exacerbating disparities. We evaluated the impact of the RCM on eGFR and examined the 30-day post-cystectomy complications in a muscle-invasive bladder cancer cohort.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients diagnosed with MIBC who underwent cystectomy in the ACS NSQIP database from 2006 to 2020 using CPT and ICD codes.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global challenge and disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. This study analyses the economic burden of pulmonary TB in Brazil, focusing on direct healthcare costs. It also evaluates the cost-effectiveness of the Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) strategy and the economic effort required to achieve a 90% probability of cure.

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) poses a significant health challenge globally, with China experiencing a notable increase in its burden. Understanding the trends and factors contributing to PAH is crucial for developing effective public health strategies.
Methods: This study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database to estimate the burden of PAH in China and worldwide from 1990 to 2021.
