Automated CT‐Based Muscle Density Predicts Mortality Regardless of Muscle Area

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Abdominal CT‐based assessments of skeletal muscle may provide important prognostic information for all‐cause mortality in aging adults. We aimed to evaluate whether AI‐segmented muscle area and muscle density predict long‐term survival in a large, retrospective adult population.

Feasibility of Clinically Prioritized Colorectal Cancer Quality Indicators With a New South Wales Population‐Based Linked Dataset

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 270-279, April 2026.
This study identified six clinically relevant quality indicators feasible to measure using NSW population‐based data. However, these indicators were restricted to surgical processes and outcomes. A large gap remains in available data to produce reliable and clinically meaningful quality measurements across the entire patient pathway.

Sex‐ and Age‐Stratified Outcomes of Colonoscopy Versus Faecal Immunochemical Testing: Post‐Analysis of the COLONPREV Study

United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 14, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is effective and cost‐effective in average‐risk individuals. The COLONPREV study recently showed that individuals invited to a faecal immunochemical test (FIT) were more likely to participate in screening than those invited to colonoscopy, and that FIT‐based screening was non‐inferior to colonoscopy
