Background: Migraine has been suggested to be associated with hypertension. The aim of the present 5-year prospective cohort study was to examine whether self-reported migraine in 1998 predicted hypertension in 2003 in a Finnish working-age population.
Methods: This cohort study consisted of 13 454 randomly selected initially non-hypertensive working-age participants of the prospective postal survey of the Health and Social Support. A total of 13 426 responses of the initial participants were linked with the register data of the Social Insurance Institution on the special reimbursement medication for hypertension. The outcome variable, hypertension, was determined according to the survey data and the register data of the Social Insurance Institution. The statistical analysis was carried out using logistic regression.
Results: In a multivariate model adjusted for gender, age, occupational training, living alone, metabolic equivalent of task, body mass index and alcohol consumption, self-reported migraine predicted hypertension (odds ratio 1.39; 95% confidence interval 1.19-1.64) for the self-reported and (odds ratio 1.42; 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.77) for the register data of the Social Insurance Institution.
Conclusion: The findings may indicate a focus on hypertension screening for the working-age population with migraine.

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease (SjD) are autoimmune diseases with significant female predominance. The prevalence of SLE is increased in Klinefelter syndrome (KS) compared with the general male population. Our study investigates the dose effects of extra X chromosomes on the development of SLE and SjD in KS and triple X syndrome compared with the general population.

Background And Aim: In recent years, there has been a rise in cryptogenic hepatocellular carcinoma (c-HCC) cases in Japan, posing a detection challenge due to an unknown etiology. This study aims to enhance diagnostic strategies for c-HCC by analyzing its characteristics and exploring current opportunities for detection.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from April 2012 to March 2022, enrolling 372 newly diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

Although the association between dementia such as Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is well established, there are significant knowledge gaps with respect to the perspective of dementia and epilepsy without TBI. We aimed to investigate the relationship between dementia and epilepsy in a population-based study of patients without history of TBI. This study included a random sample of 30,715 patients with no history of TBI, including 6143 with epilepsy as the study cohort and 24,572 without epilepsy as the comparison cohort.

Background: Established risk models may not be applicable to patients at higher cardiovascular risk with a measured Lp(a) (lipoprotein[a]) level, a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Methods: This was a model development study. The data source was the Nashville Biosciences Lp(a) data set, which includes clinical data from the Vanderbilt University Health System.

Background: Although racial disparities have been described in resuscitation, little is known about potential bias in race classification of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults treated by emergency medical services (EMS) for nontraumatic OHCA in King County, WA between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021. We assessed agreement using κ and evaluated patterns of missingness between EMS-assessed race versus comprehensive race classification from hospital and death records.
