Introduction: Perioperative steroids administration in total joint arthroplasty gained popularity for pain relief, reduction of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and enhanced recovery. The purpose of this study is to systematically review and meta-analyze comparative results of prospective randomized trials focused on the effect of systemic steroid administration at different dosages in THA for hip osteoarthritis. The hypothesis is that perioperative systemic steroid administration has a positive impact on postoperative outcomes.
Material And Methods: A systematic review of the literature has been performed, following the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews of Interventions and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for study selection. A comprehensive search was performed across multiple databases (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, the Science Citation Index Expanded from Web of Science, ScienceDirect, CINAHL and LILACS) covering the period from 1990 to 2023. Placebo-controlled, prospective randomized trials that reported comparative outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the use of systemic corticosteroids during the perioperative period were considered eligible for inclusion.
Results: A total of 8 prospective randomized trials involving 675 patients who underwent elective THA (369 in the study group and 306 in the control group) were finally included in this systematic review. Perioperative systemic steroid administration in THA provides a significant benefit in terms of length of stay (LOS), pain, opioid consumption, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and inflammatory response without improving post-operative complications. The high-dose steroid administration (≥ 20 mg of steroid equivalent) provided only a reduction of the inflammatory response of measured biomarkers at 24 and 48 h.
Conclusions: The use of steroids in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has positive effects in terms of reducing length of stay (LOS), post operative pain, opioid use, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and systemic inflammatory response.

Background: A normal luteal function is an essential factor for maintaining pregnancy; luteal phase deficiency decreases embryo implantation and pregnancy rate and increases the early miscarriage rate. In stimulated in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients, luteal phase support (LPS) is achieved by the exogenous supplementation with progesterone to increase endometrial receptivity and pregnancy. While several protocols exist, no commonly accepted protocol has been established for optimal luteal support after IVF-ET to date, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different luteal phase support protocols in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies.

Background: The choice of a single primary outcome in randomised trials can be difficult, especially in mental health where interventions may be complex and target several outcomes simultaneously. We carried out a systematic review to assess the quality of the analysis and reporting of multiple outcomes in mental health RCTs, comparing approaches with current CONSORT and other regulatory guidance.
Methods: The review included all late-stage mental health trials published between 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2020 in 9 leading medical and mental health journals.

Background: Intravenous administration of sufentanil during anesthesia induction induces cough (SIC), sometimes triggers a severe reaction. We wanted to investigate the inhibitory effect of low-dose esketamine on cough induced by sufentanil during the induction of general anesthesia, as well as its postoperative impact on mental status (MMSE score, RSS, and VAS-A).
Methods: A total of 256 adult patients were randomly allocated to receive either esketamine (Group EK) or normal saline (Group C).

Background And Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a known risk factor for hepatobiliary malignancies. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies to determine the incidence and risk factors for hepatobiliary malignancies in people with PSC.
Methods: Pubmed and Embase databases were searched from inception to April 10, 2024 for cohort studies reporting data on the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or gallbladder cancer (GBC) in PSC.
