March 2024

CHU de Sherbrooke Research Center, DOCC (Diabetes, Obesity and Cardiovasvascular Complications), CRCHUS-Hôpital Fleurimont, 12Eme Avenue Nord, Sherbrooke, Québec, 3001, Canada.

Objectives: Among US adults aged 20 + years in the USA with previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we aimed to estimate the prevalence of early-onset T2DM (onset at age < 50.5 years) and to test associations between early-onset T2DM and race/ethnicity, and other hypothesized predictors.

Methods: We pooled data from the annual National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) over the years 2001 through 2018.

Prognostic Value of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein in Patients With Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Crit Care Med

June 2019

CHU de Québec - Université Laval Research Center, Population Health and Optimal Health Practices Research Unit (Trauma - Emergency - Critical Care Medicine), Université Laval, Québec City, QC, Canada.

Objectives: Biomarkers have been suggested as potential prognostic predictors following a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury but their prognostic accuracy is still uncertain. The objective of this systematic review is to assess the ability of the glial fibrillary acidic protein to predict prognosis in patients with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and BIOSIS electronic databases and conference abstracts, bibliographies of selected studies, and narrative reviews were searched.
