Paul R. Fortin,Ann E. Clarke,Lawrence Joseph,Matthew H. Liang,Michael Tanzer,Diane Ferland,Charlotte B. Phillips,Alison J. Partridge,Patrick Bélisle,Anne H. Fossel,Nizar N. Mahomed,Clement B. Sledge,Jeffrey N. Katz +12 more
TL;DR: In patients with lower preoperative physical function, function and pain were not improved postoperatively to the level achieved by those with higher preoperative function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hierarchical Bayesian meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials of drug-eluting stents.
TL;DR: Sirolimus-Eluting and polymeric paclitaxel-eluting stents are effective at decreasing rates of angiographic restenosis and major adverse cardiac events compared with BMS, however, there is no evidence that they affect mortality or myocardial-infarction rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of total joint replacement affects clinical outcomes among patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee
Paul R. Fortin,John R. Penrod,Ann E. Clarke,Yvan St-Pierre,Lawrence Joseph,Patrick Bélisle,Matthew H. Liang,Diane Ferland,Charlotte B. Phillips,Nizar N. Mahomed,Michael Tanzer,Clement B. Sledge,Anne H. Fossel,Jeffrey N. Katz +13 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that timing of surgery may be more important than previously realized and, specifically, that performing surgery earlier in the course of functional decline may be associated with better outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmacotherapies for smoking cessation: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Mark J. Eisenberg,Kristian B. Filion,Daniel Yavin,Patrick Bélisle,Salvatore Mottillo,Lawrence Joseph,André Gervais,Jennifer O'Loughlin,Gilles Paradis,Stéphane Rinfret,Louise Pilote +10 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis to compare the treatment effects of 7 approved pharmacologic interventions for smoking cessation found that varenicline was superior to bupropion and all were more efficacious than placebo at promoting smoking abstinence at 6 and 12 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of transradial and femoral approaches for percutaneous coronary interventions: A systematic review and hierarchical Bayesian meta-analysis
Olivier F. Bertrand,Patrick Bélisle,Dominique Joyal,Olivier Costerousse,Sunil V. Rao,Sanjit S. Jolly,David Meerkin,Lawrence Joseph +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that PCI performed by TRA is associated with substantially less risks of bleeding and transfusions compared with TFA, and this finding was consistent in both randomized and observational studies.
