“…Mean and SD caries increments did not need such adjustment. 13 Inverse-generic meta-analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.2.064 (Biostat, Inglewood, NJ, USA). Our outcome parameter was the standardized difference in means (SDM), which accounts for the number of different scales used to assess caries-preventive effect.…”

“…Metaregression, using a random effects model, was performed with respect to the impact of corticosteroid dose on postoperative day 1 IL-6, following conversion to hydrocortisone equivalents using a freely Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark). Data was assessed for heterogeneity using the I 2 statistic and χ 2 test interpreted using the guidance from the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions [27]. Assessment of potential publication bias was carried out by visual inspection of funnel plots.…”

This meta-analysis examined the impact of preoperative corticosteroids on interleukin 6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and complications following surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Methods:A systematic review was performed using appropriate keywords. Random-effects metaanalysis was performed.Results:11 RCTs with 474 patients, were included. Corticosteroids were significantly associated with lower IL-6 on postoperative day 1 (mean difference -148 pg/mL, 95% CI -205 to -92, p<0.001), 2 (-33 pg/mL, 95% CI -58 to -8, p=0.01), and 3 (-31 pg/mL, 95% CI -52 to -11, p=0.002), lower CRP on day 3 (-45 mg/L, 95% CI -68 to -21, p<0.001), and 7 (-14 mg/L, 95% CI -27 to -1, p=0.04), and fewer postoperative infective complications (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.83, p=0.01).2 Conclusion:Corticosteroids were associated with reduction in the postoperative systemic inflammatory response and complications following surgery for gastrointestinal cancer.

Background-Coronary artery disease (CAD) is highly prevalent in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.In the overall CAD population, complete revascularization or reasonable incomplete revascularization (ICR) is associated with improved outcomes; whether the same applies for the transcatheter aortic valve replacement population is still a matter of debate. Methods and Results-We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that examined the prognostic effect of revascularization completeness in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement using the residual SYNTAX score (Synergy Between PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) to separate between reasonable ICR and ICR (using the individual threshold used by each study). Six studies with a total of 3107 patients were included. The duration of follow-up ranged from 0.7 to 3 years. Overall, ICR was associated with an increased risk for mortality. This was true when comparing ICR patients to those with no CAD (odds ratio,
