Interpretation: Population-level improvements in OS for dnMBC have not been consistently observed in rMBC cohorts nor older women. These findings have implications for counselling patients about prognosis, planning cancer services and trial stratification.

Methods: All available brain imaging were analysed centrally by expert readers. Log-linear regression was used to determine the effects of intensive blood pressure lowering on the size of cerebral infarction, with adjustment for potential confounders. The primary analysis pertained to follow-up computerised tomography (CT) scans done between 24 and 36 h. Sensitivity analysis were undertaken in patients with only a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and either MRI or CT at 24–36 h, and in patients with any brain imaging done at any time during follow-up. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01422616. Findings: There were 1477 (67.3%) patients (mean age 67.7 [12.1] y; male 60%, Asian 65%) with available follow-up brain imaging for analysis, including 635 patients with a CT done at 24–36 h. Mean achieved systolic blood pressures over 1–24 h were 141 mm Hg and 149 mm Hg in the intensive group and guideline group, respectively. There was no effect of intensive blood pressure lowering on the median size (ml) of cerebral infarction on follow-up CT at 24–36 h (0.3 [IQR 0.0–16.6] in the intensive group and 0.9 [0.0–12.5] in the guideline group; log Δmean −0.17, 95% CI −0.78 to 0.43). The results were consistent in sensitivity and subgroup analyses. Interpretation: Intensive blood pressure lowering treatment to a systolic target <140 mm Hg within several hours after the onset of symptoms may not increase the size of cerebral infarction in patients who receive thrombolysis treatment for acute ischaemic stroke of mild to moderate neurological severity.

More recent studies were associated with a small increase in the proportion of presentations (events) that were referred to, and received, psychiatric outpatient treatment. No macro-level factor explained between-study heterogeneity. Interpretation: There is considerable scope for improvement in the allocation and provision of both in- and out-patient psychiatric care following hospital-presenting self-harm, particularly considering that the period after discharge from general hospitals represents the peak risk period for repeat self-harm and suicide. Given the marked between-study heterogeneity, the basis for allocation of aftercare treatment is therefore not yet known and should be further studied. Funding: There was no specific funding for this review.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 13:33:54 AEDT ]]> Coeliac disease is a strong risk factor for Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease while a gluten free diet is protective: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55689 Mon 17 Jun 2024 10:25:59 AEST ]]> Anti-stigma interventions in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55292 Mon 13 May 2024 16:17:58 AEST ]]> Examining health-related quality of life in pediatric cancer patients with febrile neutropenia: Factors predicting poor recovery in children and their parents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48462 Fri 17 Mar 2023 12:14:40 AEDT ]]> Association between concurrence of multiple risk factors and under-5 mortality: a pooled analysis of data from Demographic and Health Survey in 61 low-and-middle-income countries https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55264 Fri 03 May 2024 15:29:37 AEST ]]> Are custodial-based mothers and children's units evaluated, effective and aligned with a human rights-based approach? – A systematic review of the evidence https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55252 Fri 03 May 2024 15:24:23 AEST ]]>
