Background: Recently, a simple scoring system named the Mansoura scoring system was developed to predict spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. However, the efficacy of this newly developed system has not been extensively investigated. We aimed to validate a new simple scoring system for the rapid diagnosis or exclusion of SBP without paracentesis.
Methods: Adult patients with cirrhosis and ascites admitted to Cho Ray Hospital between November 2021 and May 2022 were included. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of the Mansoura simple scoring system for predicting SBP was calculated using the Stata software. Other independent laboratory tests for predicting SBP (C-reactive protein [CRP], neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR], and mean platelet volume [MPV]) were assessed and compared using the Mansoura scoring system.
Results: A total of 121 patients were included in this study. The Mansoura scoring system showed good performance in predicting SBP in patients with cirrhosis and ascites (AUROC:0.89). At the cut-off ≥ 4 points, the scoring system achieved a specificity of 97.7% with a positive predictive value for the diagnosis of SBP of 93.5%. Multivariate analysis was performed using our data and showed that NLR, CRP level, and MPV were independent factors related to SBP.
Conclusion: The Mansoura scoring system demonstrated good performance in predicting SBP in patients with cirrhosis and ascites and may help guide management decisions.

The ability of end-tidal carbon dioxide value to predict the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Acta Clin Belg
January 2025
Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, Erzurum, Turkey.
Objectives: In this study, the capacity of End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) levels to predict the risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome and the relationship between risk scoring systems (TIMI, GRACE, HEART) and EtCO2 values were examined.
Methods: EtCO2 values of the patients in the study were measured with a capnography device. Each patient's MACE status was recorded.
Comparative Effectiveness of Individual Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors.
JAMA Intern Med

Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Evidence on cardiovascular benefits and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors is mainly from placebo-controlled trials. Therefore, the comparative effectiveness and safety of individual SGLT-2 inhibitors remain unknown.
Objective: To compare the use of canagliflozin or dapagliflozin with empagliflozin for a composite outcome (myocardial infarction [MI] or stroke), heart failure hospitalization, MI, stroke, all-cause death, and safety outcomes, including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), lower-limb amputation, bone fracture, severe urinary tract infection (UTI), and genital infection and whether effects differed by dosage or cardiovascular disease (CVD) history.
High fatigue levels among psychiatric outpatients - the validity of the Danish Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Short-Form (PROMISF-SF).
J Patient Rep Outcomes
January 2025
Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Short-Form (PROMIS-F-SF) is a self-administered, patient reported outcome (PRO) designed to assess fatigue in healthy and clinical populations and for tracking progress during treatment for disorders complicated with fatigue.
Methods: Patients in the Mental Health Service Outpatient Clinics and healthy volunteers were invited to complete a survey, which included the Danish translation of the PROMIS-F-SF, the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS-11), and measures of depression and anxiety. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the previously suggested single-factor structure of the instrument.
Challenges and effectiveness of remote neurological follow-up of children with concussion following TBI using telemedicine.

Emergency Department, University of Health Science, Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Research and Training Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children, including concussion, is one of the major causes of emergency department (ED) registration and a significant burden on the health system.
Objectives: The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of a telemedicine strategy for remotely monitoring the children with traumatic brain concussions, focusing on their neurological symptoms and signs. The secondary goal was to explore socioeconomic and educational differences among the participating families.
Complete blood counts as potential risk factors of early dissemination to liver and lungs in resected colorectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.
Int J Colorectal Dis

Department of Pathomorphology, Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland.
Purpose: Liver and lung metastases demonstrate distinct biological, particularly immunological, characteristics. We investigated whether preoperative complete blood count (CBC) parameters, which may reflect the immune system condition, predict early dissemination to the liver and lungs in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: In this retrospective single-centre study, we included 268 resected CRC cases with complete 2-year follow-up and analysed preoperative CBC for association with early liver or lung metastasis development.
