TB and poverty: the effect of rifampicin-resistant TB on household income by A. Ciobanu, V. Plesca, S. Doltu, M. Manea, L. Domente, A. Dadu

“…Social factors leading to poverty were identified for each stage: diagnostic period (history of incarceration: cOR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1–5.2); treatment period (being unemployed or unofficially employed: cOR 6.7, 95% CI 4.3–10.0); and post-treatment (being married or cohabiting: cOR 5.7, 95% CI 2.9–11.0).

Predictors and outcomes of angioplasty and stenting in acute intracranial atherosclerosis-related vertebrobasilar artery occlusion by Seol Bin Park, Byung Hyun Baek, Yun Young Lee, Seul Kee Kim, Chan Park, Byung Chan Lee, Hyoung Ook Kim, Woong Yoon

“…The 90-day mortality rate was 23.9% (11/46). In a multivariate binary logistic analysis, independent predictors of favorable outcome were hyperlipidemia (OR = 7.866, 95% CI: 1.093–56.590, p = 0.040), admission hyperglycemia (OR = 0.144, 95% CI: 0.023–0.914, p = 0.040), basilar artery occlusion (OR = 0.086, 95% CI: 0.008–0.907, p = 0.041), and treatment with angioplasty alone (OR = 9.779, 95% CI: 1.022–93.525, p = 0.048).ConclusionOur findings suggested that emergent angioplasty and/or stenting could yield high rates of successful reperfusion and favorable outcomes in patients with ICAS-related occlusions in vertebrobasilar arteries. …”
