NHS England-funded CT fractional flow reserve in the era of the ISCHEMIA trial.

Background: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) 2016 guidelines (CG95) recommend patients with new stable chest pain be investigated with computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA). An updated guideline (MTG32) recommended using CT fractional flow reserve (CTFFR) as a gatekeeper to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for patients with coronary stenosis on CTCA. Subsequently, NHS England negotiated a UK-wide contract with HeartFlow, the provider of CTFFR.

Mild versus conventional ovarian stimulation for IVF in poor responders: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mild ovarian stimulation is a treatment option for poor responders in IVF treatment. Our updated review evaluated mild IVF solely from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used genuine low-dose gonadotrophin (≤150 IU daily) alone or in combination with oral medications, comparing it with conventional-dose (>150 IU/ daily) IVF for poor responders. Electronic searches on MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and PreMEDLINE, and hand searches from 2002 up to 31 January 2019, identified 14 RCTs, which were compiled with the above inclusion criteria.
