In the field of oncology, a close integration of cancer research and patient care is indispensable. Although an exchange of data between health care providers and other institutions such as cancer registries has already been established in Germany, it does not take advantage of internationally coordinated health data standards. Translational cancer research would also benefit from such standards in the context of secondary data use. This paper employs use cases from the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK) to show how this gap can be closed using a harmonised FHIR-based data model, and how to apply it to an existing federated data platform.

Influence of lung function on macro- and micro-structural brain changes in mid- and late-life.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Aging Research Center, Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Introduction: Lung function has been associated with cognitive decline and dementia, but the extent to which lung function impacts brain structural changes remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association of lung function with structural macro- and micro-brain changes across mid- and late-life.
Methods: The study included a total of 37 164 neurologic disorder-free participants aged 40-70 years from the UK Biobank, who underwent brain MRI scans 9 years after baseline.
The development and evaluation of nine obesity-based indices for gallstones in U.S. adults.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of General Surgery.
Objective: Gallstones have gradually become a highly prevalent digestive disease worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the association of nine different obesity-related indicators (BRI, RFM, BMI, WC, LAP, CMI, VAI, AIP, TyG) with gallstones and to compare their predictive properties for screening gallstones.
Methods: Data for this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for the 2017-2020 cycle, and weighted logistic regression analyses with multi-model adjustment were conducted to explore the association of the nine indicators with gallstones.
Deep learning for kidney trauma detection: CT image algorithm performance and external validation: experimental study.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou; Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: Detecting kidney trauma on CT scans can be challenging and is sometimes overlooked. While deep learning (DL) has shown promise in medical imaging, its application to kidney injuries remains underexplored. This study aims to develop and validate a DL algorithm for detecting kidney trauma, using institutional trauma data and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) dataset for external validation.

January 2025
Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, SAR.
Background: Understanding based on up-to-date data on the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is limited, especially regarding how subtypes contribute to the overall NCD burden and the attributable risk factors across locations and subtypes. We aimed to report the global, regional, and national burden of NCDs, subtypes, and attributable risk factors in 2021, and trends from 1990 to 2021 by age, sex, and socio-demographic index (SDI).
Materials And Methods: We used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to estimate the prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for NCDs and subtypes, along with attributable risk factors.
Pharmacy Subscription Program and Medication Refills, Days' Supply, and Out-of-Pocket Costs.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Amazon Health Services, Seattle, Washington.
Importance: Medication nonadherence imposes high morbidity, mortality, and costs but is challenging to address given its multiple causes. Subscription models are increasingly used in health care to encourage healthy behaviors; in January 2023, Amazon Pharmacy launched RxPass, a subscription program offering Amazon Prime members (hereafter, company members) in 45 states access to 60 common generic medications for a flat $5 monthly fee.
Objective: To evaluate the associations of program enrollment with medication refills, days' supply, and out-of-pocket costs.
