Article Abstract
This study was performed to assess the probability of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after treatment of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT). Patients with LEDVT undergoing their first treatments in Nanjing First Hospital from January 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled in this study (156 patients were enrolled in the training cohort, and 135 patients were enrolled in the validation cohort). 51 and 45 patients developed PTS in the two cohorts, respectively. Independent risk factors for PTS were investigated in the training cohort, and these independent risk factors were employed to develop the APTSD scoring system with which to predict the probability of PTS. Four independent risk factors for PTS were identified: iliac vein compression syndrome, residual iliac-femoral vein thrombosis, residual femoral-popliteal vein thrombosis and insufficient anticoagulation. Patients in the training cohort were divided into 2 groups according to the APTSD score of ≤7.0 and >7.0 points regarding the probability of PTS (median PTS-free time, 21.82 vs. 18.84 months; P < 0.001). The accuracy of this score system was 81.7% for the training cohort and 82.5% for the validation cohort. Patients with an APTSD score of >7.0 points may have an increased probability of developing PTS.

Where we Live matters: Varied Disease Burden and Treatment Patterns in Psoriatic Arthritis in the United States.
Arthritis Rheumatol
September 2025
Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, social deprivation, insurance coverage, and medication use across regional subsets of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the US.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of PsA patients in the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) registry between January 2020 and March2023 was conducted. Distribution of high disease activity (HDA - RAPID3>12), high comorbidity (RxRisk ≥90 percentile), high Area Deprivation Index (ADI ≥80), insurance coverage, prednisone ≥10mg daily, and all DMARD therapies across geographic regions were evaluated.
Eliminating Disparities in Otolaryngology Resident Application Selection.

Objective: To develop, implement, and evaluate a novel process used for residency application review that deemphasizes metrics known to create bias with the goal of interviewing and matching a more diverse resident cohort.
Methods: Between 2020 and 2023, a novel standardized rubric and application review process were developed and implemented at the authors' academic training program. The rubric deemphasized USMLE scores, honor society membership, and number of publications while utilizing an AI-driven pre-sort of applications, facilitating holistic review.
Buprenorphine Adherence Trajectories and Their Impact on Opioid Overdose and Healthcare Costs.

The Prescription Drug Misuse Education and Research (PREMIER) Center, University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA.
Introduction: Buprenorphine is effective for opioid use disorder (OUD), yet adherence remains suboptimal. This study aimed to identify adherence trajectories, explore their predictors, and assess their association with opioid overdose risk and healthcare costs.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Merative MarketScan Commercial Database, which includes a nationally representative sample of individuals with private, employer-sponsored health insurance in the United States.
Large-Scale Proteomics-Based Risk Score for the Prediction of Incident Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic Disease Risk.

Background: Cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) disease represents a significant public health challenge. While proteomics-based risk scores (ProtRS) enhance cardiovascular risk prediction, their utility in improving risk prediction for a composite CKM outcome beyond traditional risk factors remains unknown.
Methods: We analyzed 23 815 UK Biobank participants without baseline CKM disease, defined by -Tenth Revision codes as cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, atrial fibrillation/flutter), kidney disease (chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease), or metabolic disease (type 2 diabetes or obesity).
Short-Course Antibiotic Agent Therapy for Early Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Patients with Trauma.

Patients with traumatic injuries who develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incur a higher risk of developing multi-drug resistance. Shorter duration of antibiotic agents for early VAP at five days may reduce antibiotic agent exposure without worsening patient outcomes. This retrospective cohort study performed at a Level I Trauma Center included adult (≥16 years old) patients with trauma diagnosed with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)-proven early (within four days of intubation) bacterial VAP.
