Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) may be performed using the transfemoral (TF) or transapical (TA) approach in most patients with aortic stenosis. The impact of access choice on peri-procedural and midterm results remains to be defined.
Methods: Medline and Cochrane Library were searched for articles describing differences in baseline, peri-procedural, and midterm outcomes among patients undergoing TF or TA TAVI. The primary end-point was all-cause mortality after at least 1-year follow-up, while secondary end-points were 30 days mortality and in-hospital complications (bleeding and cerebrovascular events). The independent impact of access choice was evaluated with pooled analysis using a random-effect model.
Results: Thirteen studies with 10,468 patients were included. TF was the most exploited strategy (69.5% vs. 30.5%). After adjusting for confounding variables, 30-day and midterm follow-up mortality (median 365 days, range 222-400) were lower in TF patients with a pooled adjusted odds ratio of 0.81 (0.68-0.97 I(2) 99%) and 0.85 (0.80-0.90 I(2) 96%), respectively. Regarding periprocedural outcomes, TF reduced risk of bleedings and strokes (OR of 0.74 [0.66-0.82 I(2) 95%] and 0.91 [0.83-0.99] I(2) 86%, respectively).
Conclusions: The TF approach reduces mortality in TAVI patients, due to lower rates of periprocedural bleedings and strokes.

January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Bath, Bath, United Kingdom.
Background: Mental health problems in university students are associated with many negative outcomes, yet there is a gap between need and timely access to help. Single-session interventions (SSIs) are designed to be scalable and accessible, delivering core evidence-based intervention components within a one-off encounter.
Objective: COMET (Common Elements Toolbox) is an online self-help SSI that includes behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, gratitude, and self-compassion.
Examining Health Care Provider Experiences With Patient Portal Implementation: Mixed Methods Study.

Trillium Health Partners, Institute for Better Health, Mississauga, ON, Canada.
Background: Health systems are increasingly offering patient portals as tools for patients to access their health information with the goal of improving engagement in care. However, understanding health care providers' perspectives on patient portal implementation is crucial.
Objective: This study aimed to understand health care providers' experiences of implementing the MyChart patient portal, perspectives about its impact on patient care, clinical practice, and workload, and opportunities for improvement.

Background: Menopause, defined as the cessation of periods for over 12 months, can have a profound impact on women in numerous ways. Understanding women's experiences of menopause can lead to improved care and support during this transformative period.
Objectives: The objective of this systematic review is to identify and summarise published qualitative studies that consider the lived experiences of women with menopause in the UK and to serve as a basis for future research in the field of menopause.
A novel framework to build saliva-based DNA methylation biomarkers: Quantifying systemic chronic inflammation as a case study.
Aging Cell
January 2025
Hurdle.Bio/Chronomics Ltd., London, UK.
Accessible and non-invasive biomarkers that measure human ageing processes and the risk of developing age-related disease are paramount in preventative healthcare. Here, we describe a novel framework to train saliva-based DNA methylation (DNAm) biomarkers that are reproducible and biologically interpretable. By leveraging a reliability dataset with replicates across tissues, we demonstrate that it is possible to transfer knowledge from blood DNAm to saliva DNAm data using DNAm proxies of blood proteins (EpiScores).

Department of Health Policy & Management, University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Objective: This study aimed to measure the changes in rural hospital bypass for 11 common elective surgeries following the implementation of the Pennsylvania Rural Health Model (PARHM), a global budget payment model.
Study Setting And Design: We leveraged a natural experiment arising from the phase-in of PHARM in Pennsylvania. We conducted a comparative interrupted time series analysis to assess changes in rural hospital bypass, comparing trends in rural hospital bypass among patients in hospital service areas (HSAs) with PARHM-participating hospitals to patients in control HSAs with hospitals eligible for but not participating in PARHM.
