Inter-Rater Agreement in PD-L1 (22C3) Expression Evaluation in Colon Cancer

Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a predictive biomarker in various cancers. In colorectal cancer, PD-L1 expression evaluation is not part of the routine examination and standardized evaluation methods are lacking. This study aimed to examine inter-rater agreement in PD-L1 exp...

Rehabilitation After Stroke in a Transition From Hospital to Municipality—Impact of Amount of Rehabilitation

ABSTRACT Background Stroke is a leading cause of long‐term disability that impairs physical function and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Rehabilitation during and after hospitalization is essential for promoting neurological recovery and functional independence. This stud...

Transthoracic drainage of lung abscesses (TOLA): protocol for a national multicenter randomized open-label trial

Introduction Lung abscess (LA) is a rare but severe necrotizing pulmonary infection associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Current management relies on prolonged systemic antibiotic therapy without systematic use of abscess drainage. However, small case series and r...

Blood Pressure Targets During General Anaesthesia in High‐Risk Patients—A Randomised Clinical Feasibility Trial

BACKGROUND: There is limited high-quality evidence to guide haemodynamic and respiratory management during general anaesthesia. The goal of this trial was to test the feasibility of testing different ventilatory settings and blood pressure targets. Previous trials on blood pressu...

Exercise training during hospitalization in community-acquired pneumonia: effects on functional ability, body composition, and physical activity level

Abstract Background Physical inactivity contributes to functional decline and is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes in patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Exercise programs applied during acute hospitalization may mitigate these effects,...

Factors Associated With Progression From Level 1 to Level 2 Sensor‐Detected Hypoglycaemia in People With Type 1 and Insulin‐Treated Type 2 Diabetes: A Post Hoc Analysis From the Hypo‐ METRICS Study

ABSTRACT Aims We investigated the proportion of sensor‐detected hypoglycaemic (SDH) events progressing to level 2, and associated variables. Materials and Methods We used data from Hypo‐METRICS, which recruited people with type 1 (pwT1D) and insulin‐treated type 2 diabetes (pwT2D...

Predicting future risk of type 1 and type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes mellitus using polygenic scores: a cohort study

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an increased risk of developing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. However, predicting the risk on a personal level is challenging. Polygenic scores (PGSs), which capture an individual's genetic susceptib...
