Objective: The main purpose of our study was to subjectively assess the quality of a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) database according to the Directory of Clinical Databases (DoCDat) criteria.
Design And Setting: A survey was conducted between April 1 and June 15, 2018, among the Sainte Justine PICU research group.
Population: Every member of this group whose research activity required the use of the database and/or who was involved in the development/validation of the database.
Interventions: None.
Measurements And Main Results: All 10 research team members (one Information Technology specialist, one junior medical student, and eight clinician researchers) who used the high-resolution database fulfilled the survey (100% response rate). The median quality level of the Sainte Justine PICU database across all the 10 criteria was 3 (2-4), rated on a 1 (worst) to 4 (best) numeric scale. When compared with previously assessed databases through the DoCDat criteria, we found that the Sainte Justine PICU database performance was similar.
Conclusions: The PICU high-resolution database appeared of good quality when subjectively assessed by the DoCDat criteria. Further validation procedures are mandatory. We suggest that data quality assessment and validation procedures should be reported when creating a new database.

Introduction: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) seropositivity strongly correlates to ANCA-associated vasculitis. Patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) without systemic vasculitis are sometimes ANCA-positive. Radiological and pathological differences between patients with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA-positive and those with proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA-positive IIPs remain unclear.

Post-infectious bronchiolitis/bronchitis obliterans (PIBO) is a chronic irreversible obstructive lung disease that results in obstruction and/or obliteration of small airways. Previous reports have indicated that PCD-related gene mutations contribute to PIBO incidence. However, the relationship between DNAH9 variants and PIBO remains unclear.

Purpose: Various specialized and general collimators are used for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to assess different types of coronary artery disease (CAD). Alongside the wide variability in imaging characteristics, the apriori "learnt" information of left ventricular (LV) shape can affect the final diagnosis of the imaging protocol. This study evaluates the effect of prior information incorporation into the segmentation process, compared to deep learning (DL) approaches, as well as the differences of 4 collimation techniques on 5 different datasets.

Background: Malaria remains a leading cause of illness and death globally, with countries in sub-Saharan Africa bearing a disproportionate burden. Global high-resolution maps of malaria prevalence, incidence, and mortality are crucial for tracking spatially heterogeneous progress against the disease and to inform strategic malaria control efforts. We present the latest such maps, the first since 2019, which cover the years 2000-22.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, is the fifth leading cause of blindness worldwide. Given the critical nature of the disease, it is paramount that individuals with diabetes undergo annual screening for early and timely detection of DR, facilitating prompt ophthalmic assessment and intervention. However, screening for DR, which involves assessing visual acuity and retinal examination through ophthalmoscopy or retinal photography, presents a significant global challenge due to the massive volume of individuals requiring annual reviews.
