The metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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.

Addition of Frailty and Disability to Cardiac Surgery Risk Scores Identifies Elderly Patients at High Risk of Mortality or Major Morbidity

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

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

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.

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.
