Background: Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are at increased risk of developing nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC), which may require treatment by Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). Previous small-scale studies yielded conflicting findings on post-MMS complications in immunosuppressed individuals, and large-scale population-based analyses for SOTRs undergoing MMS are lacking.
Objective: The authors investigate postoperative complications after MMS in SOTRs using the TriNetX database of over 106 million patients in the US Collaborative Network.

Introduction Efficient and practical healthcare based on prognostic indicators can reduce morbidity and mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) predicts clinical outcomes and respiratory failure in SARS-CoV-2 patients, but additional research is needed. Among other characteristics, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of suPAR in COVID-19 patients.

Background: The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) serves as a dependable and efficient surrogate marker for endothelial dysfunction, which plays an essential role in the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis (AP). Hence, we investigated the prognostic value of EASIX in AP.
Methods: This was a retrospective study, using patient information obtained from the Medical Information Market for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database.
