Article Abstract
Objectives: The REporting of studies Conducted using Observational Routinely Collected Data (RECORD) tool was developed to address gaps around reporting routinely collected health data. The objective of this study was to assess adherence to RECORD in general medical journals and to evaluate its correlation with study quality.
Methods: We searched PubMed using a filter to identify studies using routinely collected health data published in 8 high impact medical journals between 2016 and 2023. Four journals endorsed RECORD, while 4 did not. For each journal, 24 articles were randomly selected, with 3 studies per year. Study characteristics, RECORD and quality assessments were completed in duplicate and described using proportions and means with SDs. Linear regression was used to estimate the association between journal and study characteristics with adherence to RECORD items.
Results: Studies reported a mean of 70.7% (SD 1.8%) of RECORD items. There was no substantial difference in adherence in RECORD-endorsing journals compared to non-RECORD-endorsing journals (1.8% lower adherence; 95% CI: -5.8, 2.2). Adherence of >80% was reported for RECORD items 1.1, 1.2, 6.1, 7.1, 19.1 and 22.1.
Conclusion: Studies in general medical journals had moderate adherence to RECORD, with no association between journals' endorsement of RECORD and reporting completeness. Other measures to improve adherence to RECORD should be explored, including refinements to the checklist itself. Authors and journals should be aware of and adhere to items required for RECORD reporting to improve the reproducibility of research using routinely collected health data.

Background: To compare surgical and long-term patient-reported outcomes (PRO) between excisional (Nesbit) and incisional (Yachia) corporoplasty for correction of uncomplicated Peyronie's-related penile curvature in a large, single-surgeon cohort. A retrospective audit identified men who underwent Nesbit or Yachia corporoplasty (2015-2021). Operative data was extracted from records.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diabetic eye disease screening continuum at two academic centers and identify its barriers.
Research Design And Methods: We analyzed health records from the University of California, San Francisco and University of California, Irvine to identify primary care patients needing diabetic eye screening. We tracked referrals, screenings, diagnoses, and treatments to evaluate predictors and the impact of an automated referral system.

Foodborne diseases pose a significant public health challenge worldwide. The increasing availability of edible oils in the market, combined with Ethiopia's lack of stringent quality control and regulatory oversight, raises concerns about their safety. This inadequacy in regulation may contribute to microbial contamination, leading to potential public health risks.

Despite periods of permanent darkness and extensive ice coverage in polar environments, photosynthetic ice diatoms display a remarkable capability of living inside the ice matrix. How these organisms navigate such hostile conditions with limited light and extreme cold remains unknown. Using a custom subzero temperature microscope during an Arctic expedition, we present the finding of motility at record-low temperatures in a Eukaryotic cell.

Purpose: In 5-10% of cases, renal cancer extends into the venous system, particularly the inferior vena cava (IVC), which worsens prognosis. This study aims to assess morbidity, mortality, and oncological outcomes of patients treated surgically for renal cancer with IVC extension over a 30-year period, in two experienced centers.
Materials And Methods: This bicentric, retrospective study analyzed patients treated between 1988 and 2020 for renal cancer involving the IVC.
