Prognostic assessment after preoperative systemic therapy (PST) plays a vital role in breast cancer patients. The clinical-pathologic staging system incorporating estrogen receptor (ER)-negative disease and nuclear grade 3 tumor pathology (CPS+EG staging system) can effectively predict prognosis after PST. The Neo-Bioscore has been developed by the incorporation of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status into the CPS+EG staging system. But in a real world in China, the both staging systems had limits because of trastuzumab administration varied a lot in China from the United States. This retrospective study will validate CPS+EG and Neo-Bioscore system and explored a modified Neo-Bioscore system in multiple centers.
The investigators will create a frailty index using health administrative data available for older people having surgery. The index will be based on the Canadian Study of Health and Aging Frailty Index and standard recommendations for creation of frailty indices.
Background: Detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is important due to its high prevalence and its medical and economic implications. Purpose: A systematic review of the diagnostic performance of stress echocardiography (Echo), SPECT, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), CT Perfusion (CTP) and PET versus invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or fractional flow reserve (FFR) using hierarchical summary ROC (HSROC) methods. Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCOPUS for literature published in English or Spanish from January 1970 to December 2015. Study Selection: For inclusion, studies had to meet the Cochrane guidelines, had to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity methods, and use ICA and/or FFR. Only those studies with STARD methodology ≥60% were included. Data Extraction: Ten investigators extracted patient and study characteristics and 4 resolved any disagreements.

In this prospective, open cohort study the diagnostic value of tests based on neck anatomy in predicting difficult laryngoscopy was assessed. The anatomic features of the neck measured were head extension, mouth opening, upper lip bite, Mallampati class, thyromental distance, sternomental distance, ratio of height to thyromental, neck circumference, thyrosternal distance, hyomental distance at full head extension (FHE) and at neutral position (NP), ratio of neck circumference to thyromental distance and ratio of hyomental distance FHE to hyomental distance NP.
