Introduction: Currently, nearly one-third of newly diagnosed Colorectal cancer (CRC) cases and associated deaths worldwide are from China. Among Chinese provinces, Fujian exhibited the highest CRC mortality rate. This study aims to analyze long-term trends of CRC epidemiology in Xiamen, Fujian, China.
Methods: Data were obtained from various cancer surveillance systems, including the Xiamen Cancer Register system, the Xiamen Death Register system, and the household registration system. Trends in incidence, mortality and survival rates from 2011 to 2020 were analyzed using annual percent changes (APC) and average annual percent changes (AAPC), stratified by sex and residency status.
Results: A total of 7,406 new cases and 3,726 CRC-related deaths were reported from Xiamen. The age-standardized of incidence and mortality rates were 26.09 per 100,000 and 12.70 per 100,000, respectively. The observed 5-year survival rate was 46.65%, with an age-standardized survival of 51.24%. CRC incidence in Xiamen is significantly increasing (AAPC = 4.90%). In contrast, trends in CRC mortality and survival rates are not significant. Urban areas exhibited higher rates of CRC incidence, mortality, and survival rate compared to rural areas, though rural areas showed a more marked upward trend.
Conclusions: The burden of CRC in Xiamen is notably high, with a concerning increasing in incidence. This underscores the urgent need for targeted strategies to address this public health challenges.

Importance: Multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) is a leading cause of in-hospital child mortality. For survivors, posthospitalization health care resource use and costs are unknown.
Objective: To evaluate longitudinal health care resource use and costs after hospitalization with MOD in infants (aged <1 year) and children (aged 1-18 years).

Objectives: The 2022 European Society of Cardiology and European Respiratory Society (ESC/ERS) Guidelines for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) recommend risk stratification to optimize management. However, the performance of generic PAH risk stratification tools in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated PAH remains unclear. Our objective was to identify the most accurate approach for risk stratification at SSc-PAH diagnosis.

The risk over a given time span can be calculated as one minus the exponentiated value of the negative of the integral of the incidence density function (or hazard rate function) over that time span. This relationship is widely used but, in the few instances where textbooks have presented it, the derivations of it tend to be purely mathematical. I first review the historical contexts, definitions, distinctions and links.

The breadth of the overdose crisis is underestimated because of a lack of quantifying nonfatal overdoses. We estimate the proportion of nonfatal overdoses among all people with HIV (PWH) in British Columbia, Canada, and the prevalence of fatal overdoses among people who had a nonfatal overdose, stratified by sex. A small proportion of PWH who experienced a nonfatal overdose subsequently died of a fatal overdose, signaling opportunities for crucial interventions and treatment to prevent overdose death.

Background: Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) leads to high rates of mortality and health care costs. Understanding the immediate costs after an AH diagnosis and identifying key cost factors is crucial for health care policies and clinical decisions.
Objectives: This study quantifies medical costs within 30 days of an AH diagnosis across outpatient (OP), emergency department (ED), and inpatient (IP) settings.
