Retrospective cohort study

  1. Air pollutant exposure was linked to higher preeclampsia risk
    Retrospective cohort study linking ambient air pollutants to preeclampsia risk, identifying critical exposure windows and elevated vulnerability in assisted reproductive technology pregnancies.
  2. Analysis of Laboratory and Obstetric Outcomes in Preeclampsia: A Comparative Study of Bolu and Şanlıurfa
    Comparative study of preeclampsia outcomes in two Turkish centers reveals higher blood pressure, liver enzyme elevations, and complication rates in Şanlıurfa versus Bolu.
  3. Machine-learning algorithms improved smoking identification in health records
    Study comparing machine learning and rule-based algorithms for identifying smokers in administrative health data found ML models doubled sensitivity for detecting current smokers.
  4. History of preeclampsia linked to later cardiovascular risk
    Retrospective study demonstrates that preeclampsia significantly increases long-term risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and metabolic complications in women.
  5. Three factors predicted early stone recurrence after surgery
    Nomogram predicting postoperative recurrence in infective upper urinary tract stones using residual stones, urine culture status, and CT attenuation values for personalized risk stratification.
  6. Comparison of Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy and Flexible Ureteroscopy for Treating 1–2 cm Single Stones in Solitary Kidney: Outcomes and Renal Function Impact
    Flexible ureteroscopy achieves comparable stone-free rates to mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy for 1-2 cm stones in solitary kidneys while maintaining superior safety and better renal function.
  7. Retrospective Validation Of a Patient-Initiated Preconception Screener Against Obstetric Comorbidity Indices To Assess Pregnancy Complications
    Retrospective validation of patient-initiated PreMA preconception screener demonstrates comparable predictive validity to established obstetric comorbidity indices for severe maternal morbidity.
  8. Offspring CHD incidence was higher in mothers with CHD
    Retrospective cohort study quantifying congenital heart defect incidence in offspring of non-syndromic affected mothers, with characterization of defect severity patterns.
  9. Echocardiography may help identify high-risk pregnancy-induced hypertension patients
    Echocardiographic parameters independently predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in women aged 35+ with pregnancy-induced hypertension, with combined assessment achieving excellent discrimination.
  10. En bloc resection showed strong control and recovery in proximal fibular GCT
    En bloc resection of proximal fibular giant cell tumours in young patients achieves 85% complete nerve recovery with no recurrence and excellent knee stability outcomes at one-year follow-up.
  11. Denosumab and curettage preserved hips in femoral giant cell tumors
    Retrospective study demonstrates successful joint preservation and favorable safety profile using denosumab with curettage for giant cell tumors of femoral head and neck.
