Objective This study aimed to identify subgroups of stroke survivors based on multiple-adverse health conditions and determine the potential mediation effects of mental health in their relationship with health-related quality of life. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting Three...

Evaluating the efficacy of a novel endometrial receptivity test in improving pregnancy outcomes for Chinese in vitro fertilization patients: a single-center retrospective study

Abstract Background Current evidence on whether endometrial receptivity tests improve pregnancy outcomes among in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients remains conflicting and limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HerRecepta, a novel transcriptomic endometrial recept...

Association between the IL-35 rs583911 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma risk in patients infected with chronic hepatitis B virus

Abstract Background The immunoregulatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-35 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we explored the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-35 gene and the occurrence of HCC in patient...

Age-Associated Patterns of Cardiovascular Risk and Disease Phenotypes Across Diverse Care Settings: The GLOB-cAGE Consortium

Reported prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and phenotypes varies widely. In multi-cohort analyses, such variation reflects population risk, care setting, and data capture. We harmonized baseline data from four analytic cohorts (N=54,188, aged ≥50 years) in f...

Investigating the association between angina and osteoporosis: a 20-year longitudinal cohort study of ELSA
