Purpose: Displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) usually require surgical treatment with either a total hip arthroplasty (THA), unipolar hemiarthroplasty (U-HHA), or bipolar hemiarthroplasty (B-HHA). However, there is still controversy regarding the optimal implant. This network meta-analysis compared the outcomes and complication rates of THA versus B-HHA and versus U-HHA in elderly patients with FNF.
Material And Methods: This study was conducted according to the PRISMA extension statement for reporting of systematic reviews, and incorporated network meta-analyses of health care interventions. The literature search was performed in September 2020. All randomized clinical trials comparing two or more of the index surgical interventions for displaced FNF in the elderly were eligible for inclusion. For the Bayesian network meta-analysis, the standardized mean difference (SMD) and Log Odd Ratio (LOR) were used.
Results: Data from 24 RCTs (2808 procedures) were analysed. The mean follow-up was 33.8 months. The THA group had the longest surgical time (SMD 85.74) and the greatest Harris Hip Score (SMD - 17.31). THA scored similarly in terms of mortality (LOR 3.89), but had lower rates of revision surgeries (LOR 2.24), higher rates of dislocations (LOR 2.60), and lower rates of acetabular erosion (LOR - 0.02). Cementless implants required a shorter surgical duration (- 18.05 min; P = 0.03). Mortality was positively associated with acetabular erosion (P = 0.006), female gender (P = 0.007), revision (P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: THA led to the highest Harris Hip scores and lowest rate of revision surgery compared to B-HHA and U-HHA. However, B-HHA had the lowest dislocation rate when compared with U-HHA and THA. No significant differences in functional outcomes and complication rates were found between cemented and uncemented implants; however, a tendency for lower mortality, revision and dislocation rates in cemented implants was evidenced.
Level Of Evidence: I, Bayesian network meta-analysis of RCTs.

Background: Use of health applications (apps) to support healthy lifestyles has intensified. Different app features may support effectiveness, including gamification defined as the use of game elements in a non-game situation. Whether health apps with gamification can impact behaviour change and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown.

Introduction: The critical role played by vascular dysfunction and ineffective angiogenesis in the pathophysiology of systemic sclerosis (SSc) suggests that circulating biomarkers reflecting these alterations may be useful in the clinical evaluation of this patient group. We sought to address this issue by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating a such candidate biomarker, endostatin, an endogenous glycoprotein exerting anti-angiogenic effects, in SSc patients and healthy controls.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in the electronic databases Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus from inception to 27 May 2024.

Introduction: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes approximately 80-85% of cancer-related fatalities globally, and direct and indirect comparisons of various therapies for NSCLC are lacking. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC.
Methods: The electronic databases were systematically searched from inception until March 18, 2024.

Aims: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions in children with preoperative anxiety.
Background: It is estimated that preoperative anxiety affects up to 60% of children which is associated with both immediate and long-term adverse outcomes. Several non-pharmacological interventions have been demonstrated to be effective, but further research is necessary to determine which is the most effective.

The progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is intricately tied to the impairment of neurons, crucial for neurological functions. Despite extensive research, the precise mechanism underlying AD development remains elusive due to its multifaceted aetiology. Vitamin deficiency has emerged as a notable contributor to AD onset and progression, exerting a significant influence on brain function.
