The study aims to evaluate the benefits of AT on recurrence or death through propensity score (PS) matched analyses.Methods:A cohort of patients who have undergone R0 esophagectomy without neoadjuvant therapy for ESCC was identified at the tertiary hospital in China between 2013 and 2020. Patients...
Conclusions n this propensity score-matched cohort, 3-year survival was comparable for patients with ≥ 15 LNs, although increasing nodal yield was associated with more accurate staging. In node-negative patients, 3-year survival was higher for patients with ≥ 15 LNs....
Comparison between biological and mechanical aortic valve prostheses in middle-aged patients matched through propensity score analysis: long-term results. Choice of prosthesis type in middle-aged patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) is still debated. The aim of this study is to compare ...

Results: In both multivariable-adjusted and propensity score-matched analyses, M1a-Effusion tumors were associated with worse overall survival than M1a-Pleural and M1a-Contralateral tumors, while no significant differences were ...
Compared with propensity score matched controls, the care process of frail multi-morbid elderly who received the PACT intervention had a reduced risk of high-level emergency care, increased use of low-level planned care, and substantially reduced mortality risk. ...
Investigators have previously hypothesized that statin antioxidant effects may slow the natural aging process of the lens.OBJECTIVE To compare the risks for development of cataracts between statin users and nonusers.DESIGN A propensity score-matched cohort analysis using retrospective data from October 1,...
Propensity score matching was used to examine the association between frequency of spanking and child behavioral problems, adjusting for parental socioeconomic status, child temperament and parenting behaviors. Compared to children who were never spanked, occasional spanking ("sometimes") showed a higher ...
