Objectives: The optimal treatment for recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been standardized. In this prospective cohort study, we evaluated post-recurrence survival (PRS) after treatment of recurrent NSCLC and identified prognostic factors after recurrence.

Methods: This multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted in 14 hospitals. The inclusion criteria for this study were patients with recurrence after radical resection for NSCLC. Information about the patient characteristics at recurrence, tumor-related variables, primary surgery, and treatment for recurrence was collected. After registration, follow-up data, such as treatment and survival outcomes, were obtained every 3 months.

Results: From 2010 to 2015, 505 cases were enrolled, and 495 cases were analyzed. As initial treatment for recurrence, 263 patients (53%) received chemotherapy, 46 (9%) received chemoradiotherapy, 98 (20%) had definitive radiotherapy, 14 (3%) received palliative radiotherapy, and 31 (6%) underwent surgical resection. The remaining 43 patients (9%) received supportive care. The median PRS and 5-year survival rates for all cases were 30 months and 31.9%, respectively. The median PRS according to the initial treatment was as follows: supportive care, 8 months; palliative radiotherapy, 16 months; definitive radiotherapy, 30 months; chemotherapy, 31 months; chemoradiotherapy, 35 months; and surgery, not reached. A multivariate analysis showed that the age, gender, performance status, histology presence of symptoms, duration from primary surgery to recurrence, and number of recurrent foci were independent prognostic factors for PRS.

Conclusions: The PRS of patients with recurrent NSCLC was different depending on the patient's background characteristics and initial treatment for recurrence.

Background: In this study, we estimated the risk of surgically treated postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures (POPFFs) associated with femoral implants frequently used for total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods: In this cohort study of patients who underwent primary THA in England between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2020, POPFFs were identified from prospectively collected revision records and national hospital records. POPFF incidence rates, adjusting for potential confounders, were estimated for common stems.

Background: Psychiatric disorders are a substantial public health concern, and childhood adversity a well-known risk factor for it. Investigating gender differences in vulnerability and resilience processes following out-of-home care (OHC) as proxy for childhood adversity can help map opportunities for the prevention of psychiatric disorders.

Methods: We followed a large birth cohort for psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, and self-harm, and substance misuse) between age 25-62 years, comparing individuals with and without OHC experience.

Aim: To assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) and clinical outcomes in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients.

Methods: Non-ischemic DCM patients were prospectively enrolled. Regional adipose tissue, cardiac function, and myocardial tissue characteristics were measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

Background: This prospective, two-centre study derived and validated predictive algorithms for the Siemens Atellica IM high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay in the emergency department (ED).

Methods: Algorithms for predicting 30-day myocardial infarction type 1 and 2 (MI) and death or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI, type 1 and 2) at index admission were developed from a derivation cohort of 1896 patients and validated using a synthetic dataset with nearly 1 million patient cases. Performance was compared to the European Society of Cardiology algorithms for hs-cTnT (Roche Diagnostics) and hs-cTnI (Abbott Diagnostics).

Objectives: To assess the ability of a previously trained deep-learning algorithm to identify the presence of inflammation on MRI of sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in a large external validation set of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Methods: Baseline SIJ MRI scans were collected from two prospective randomised controlled trials in patients with non-radiographic (nr-) and radiographic (r-) axSpA (RAPID-axSpA: NCT01087762 and C-OPTIMISE: NCT02505542) and were centrally evaluated by two expert readers (and adjudicator in case of disagreement) for the presence of inflammation by the 2009 Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) definition. Scans were processed by the deep-learning algorithm, blinded to clinical information and central expert readings.
