Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), a common monogenic disorder, is a preventable cause of premature coronary artery disease and death. Up to 35 million people worldwide have FH, but most remain undetected and undertreated. Several clinical guidelines have addressed the gaps in care of FH, but little focus has been given to implementation science and practice.

New-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) strongly reduce restenosis and repeat revascularization compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) for percutaneous coronary intervention. There is residual uncertainty as to whether other prognostically relevant outcomes are affected by DES versus BMS concerning initial presentation (chronic coronary syndrome [CCS] vs acute coronary syndrome [ACS]). We performed an individual patient data meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing new-generation DES versus BMS (CRD42017060520).

Background: Sacral fractures treatment frequently involves both spine and pelvic trauma surgeons; therefore, a consistent communication among surgical specialists is required. We independently assessed the new AOSpine sacral fracture classification's agreement from the perspective of spine and pelvic trauma surgeons.
Methods: Complete computerized tomography (CT) scans of 80 patients with sacral fractures were selected and classified using the new AOSpine sacral classification system by six spine surgeons and three pelvic trauma surgeons.
An independent inter- and intra-observer agreement assessment of the Eno classification of sacroiliac joint degeneration.

Background: Recently, a scoring system to grade sacroiliac joint (SIJ) degeneration using computed tomography (CT) scans was described. No independent evaluation has determined the inter- and intra-observer agreement using this scheme.
Purpose: To perform an independent inter- and intra-observer agreement assessment using the Eno classification and determining gas in the SIJ.
Article Synopsis
- The AOSpine sacral classification scheme shows good agreement in classifying sacral fractures, indicating its potential reliability among different evaluators across multiple countries.
- In an agreement study involving CT scans of 80 patients, substantial interobserver agreement was found for fracture types, while moderate agreement was observed for subtypes.
- The study suggests that although the classification system is effective for general fracture assessment, further research is needed to determine its impact on treatment decisions and patient prognosis.
