General Pairwise Comparison (GPC) statistics, such as the net benefit and the win ratio, have been applied in clinical trial data analysis and design. In the literature, inferential methods based on re-sampling, asymptotic or exact methods have been proposed for these GPC statistics, but they have not been compared to each other. In this paper, the small sample bias of the variance estimation, Type I error control and 95% confidence interval coverage of the GPC inferential methods are evaluated using simulations. The exact permutation and bootstrap tests perform best in all evaluated aspects for the net benefit, while the exact bootstrap test performs best for the win ratio.

Age-related conditions, such as being misinformed, having limited oral health literacy, and the loss of manual dexterity, autonomy, or visual acuity, may act as barriers to oral health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two different oral hygiene instruction methods on oral hygiene and the self-perception of oral health in older adults. This randomized controlled trial included participants aged 65 and older who completed a questionnaire on socio-economic factors, self-perceived oral health, and oral hygiene behaviours.

(1) Background: Research on mental health literacy (MHL) and attitudes toward mental health problems (ATMHP) among non-medical college students in Nepal is limited. This study examined the relationship between MHL and ATMHP, considering demographic variables and familiarity with mental health issues; (2) Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey with 385 college students from Chitwan and Kathmandu, Nepal, using opportunity sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics examined demographic differences, while Pearson's correlation assessed relationships among latent variables; (3) Results: No relationship was found between MHL and ATMHP (r = -0.

Article Synopsis
- The review highlights the complexity of stroke, driven by disruptions in blood supply and complicated by the neural and vascular systems' interactions.
- Advances in machine vision and deep learning are improving predictive tools for stroke, but their clinical impact is limited by real-world data challenges.
- Although AI's potential benefits for stroke care are clear, the best approaches for practical application are still being explored, with deep generative models seen as a promising avenue for innovation.
