Longitudinal changes in health‐related quality of life after a breast cancer diagnosis in sub‐Saharan Africa: Evidence from the prospective ABC‐DO cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Breast cancer is now the most common malignancy among women in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Its impact on survivors’ quality of life and Global Health Status (GHS), however, remains inadequately studied in this setting.

Nonavalent HPV vaccine to prevent recurrent anal or vulvar high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (VIVA trial): A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Anal and vulvar high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) frequently recur following treatment. Additional genital and anal procedures, however, can be distressing for patients and are potentially disfiguring. This trial assessed whether the 9‐valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine reduces HSIL recurrence risk or HPV ...

The Ability of Serum Amyloid A to Discriminate Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) Patients Who Stay Moderately Ill Versus Patients Who Become Severely Ill

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
– The aim of this study was to determine the discriminative ability of SAA, C‐reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, and procalcitonin (PCT) in patients with COVID‐19 to differentiate between those who remain moderately ill from patients who become severely ill within 7 days of hospitalization. – This study shows no differences in concentration of SAA, CRP,

An Evaluation of a Molecular Point‐of‐Care Testing System Designed for Early Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
On the basis of RT‐qPCR results, 549 oropharyngeal swabs were classified into four groups: MP‐positive (n = 109), MP‐negative (n = 160), RSV‐positive (n = 122), and RSV‐negative (n = 158). Using these as the reference standard, we evaluated a molecular point‐of‐care testing (mPOCT) system (EasyNAT) for simultaneous MP and RSV detection.

Pilot implementation and evaluation of a social risk screening tool for hospitalised patients in Singapore

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Routine in‐hospital screening of social risk factors linked with poor health outcomes is not done in Singapore, where an aging population pays for 25% healthcare costs out‐of‐pocket despite universal coverage. Objective We developed and implemented a social risk screening tool for hospitalised patients and reported the association ...
