The well-known revised cardiac risk index (RCRI) has recently been modified based on factors and outcomes specific to thoracic surgery patients (ThRCRI). We explored the accuracy of this modified scoring system in predicting cardiovascular morbidity after major lung resection.We analyzed outcomes from...
The 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) score has shown to be effective in the prediction of surgical outcomes in other medical scenarios. PURPOSE. this study aimed to assess the role of the mFI-5 in the prediction of surgical outcomes in patients with left-sided IE undergoing cardiac ...

Nifedipine retard significantly reduced the risk of major clinical events compared with placebo in elderly hypertensive patients (STONE), and had similar efficacy to ACE-inhibitor therapy in terms of reducing major cardiac events in patients with both hypertension and coronary artery disease (JMIC-B)....

This single-arm phase II study investigated the EGFR monoclonal antibody necitumumab plus modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) in first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients received 800-mg intravenous necitumumab (da
We also assumed that body mass reduction is not so important as a decrease of the AIP index for CVD diagnosis. In these ways, the calculation of the new AIP is unique in the literature. The aim of the study was to investigate whether weight loss correlates with CVD risk, and whether ...
