Blood Pressure and Hypertension in Adolescents and Young Adults: Results From a Nationwide Screening Program Open
Literature on blood pressure (BP) norms in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population remains sparse compared to adults. This study aims to describe the BP norms, prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension, and associations with demograph…

Predictors of Clinical Stability and Mortality in COPD: A Longitudinal Study Open
Our study identified several predictors of 2-year clinical stability in patients with COPD. However, clinical stability at 2 years did not predict subsequent mortality. These findings suggest that clinical stability and mortality are disti…

Can a Bayesian approach clarify if corticosteroids are beneficial for severe community-acquired pneumonia? Open
Despite advances in the antimicrobial treatment of sepsis and organ support in the intensive care unit (ICU), community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a leading cause of mortality and disability-adjusted life years lost globally.1 Severe…

Outcomes of Investigating T Wave Inversion With Echocardiography in an Unselected Young Male Preparticipation Cohort Open
BACKGROUND Electrocardiography (ECG) may be performed as part of preparticipation sports screening. Recommendations on screening of athletes to identify individuals with previously unrecognized cardiac disease are robust; however, data gui…

Wolff-Parkinson-White Presenting as QRS Alternans and Other Differential Diagnoses in a Large Pre-Participation ECG Screening Cohort Open
Background Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a proarrhythmic condition that may require restriction from strenuous activities and is characterized by ECG signs, including delta waves. We observed cases of intermittent WPW patterns pr…

Prevalence and diagnostic yield of investigating t wave inversion in a large unselected pre-participation cohort of young Asian males Open
Background/Introduction T wave inversion (TWI) is a potentially abnormal finding on pre-participation screening electrocardiography (ECG), as it may suggest an underlying cardiomyopathy that should be risk stratified appropriately to minim…
