TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the cardiovascular risk associated with the metabolic syndrome as defined by the 2001 NCEP and 2004 revised National Cholesterol Education Program definitions found the syndrome is associated with a 2-fold increase in cardiovascular outcomes and a 1.5- fold increase in all-cause mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Clinicians should use an integrative approach combining frailty, disability, and risk scores to better characterize elderly patients referred for cardiac surgery and identify those that are at increased risk of dying from cardiac surgery.
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
Isolated Aerobic Exercise and Weight Loss: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Adrian Thorogood,Salvatore Mottillo,Salvatore Mottillo,Salvatore Mottillo,Avi Shimony,Avi Shimony,Kristian B. Filion,Lawrence Joseph,Jacques Genest,Louise Pilote,Paul Poirier,Ernesto L. Schiffrin,Mark J. Eisenberg,Mark J. Eisenberg +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of isolated aerobic exercise programs in overweight and obese populations, and found that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 6-12 months induce a modest reduction in weight and waist circumference in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioural interventions for smoking cessation: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Salvatore Mottillo,Kristian B. Filion,Kristian B. Filion,Kristian B. Filion,Patrick Bélisle,Lawrence Joseph,Lawrence Joseph,André Gervais,Jennifer O'Loughlin,Gilles Paradis,Robert O. Pihl,Louise Pilote,Louise Pilote,Stéphane Rinfret,Michèle Tremblay,Mark J. Eisenberg,Mark J. Eisenberg +16 more
TL;DR: Although minimal clinical intervention may increase smoking abstinence, there is insufficient evidence to draw strong conclusions regarding its efficacy, and intensive behavioural interventions result in substantial increases in smoking abstinence compared with control.
