Causes of severe pneumonia requiring hospital admission in children without HIV infection from Africa and Asia: the PERCH multi-country case-control study

TL;DR: Estimating causes of pneumonia in young African and Asian children, using novel analytical methods applied to clinical and microbiological findings, estimated that viruses accounted for 61·4% (95% credible interval [CrI] 57·3–65·6) of causes, whereas bacteria accounted for 27·3% (23·3-31·6).
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Polygenic Risk Scores for Multiple Cancers in a Phenome-wide Study: Results from The Michigan Genomics Initiative.

TL;DR: Phenome-wide significant associations were observed between PRS and many non-cancer diagnoses, and the idea of "exclusion PRS PheWAS" was introduced to differentiate PRS associations driven by the primary trait from associations arising through shared genetic risk profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of response after initial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: does it predict failure of subsequent treatment?

TL;DR: Patients who underwent chemoembolization for HCC showed a response (with both EASL criteria and mRECIST) and improved survival after the second chemoEmbolization treatment, and posttreatment survival of initial nonresponders versus that of initial responders was compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Density of Upper Respiratory Colonization With Streptococcus pneumoniae and Its Role in the Diagnosis of Pneumococcal Pneumonia Among Children Aged <5 Years in the PERCH Study

Henry C. Baggett, +88 more
TL;DR: Upper airway pneumococcal colonization density among children hospitalized with World Health Organization–defined pneumonia was associated with microbiologically confirmed pneumococCal pneumonia (MCPP) and the optimal colonization density threshold was ≥7 log10 copies/mL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of C-Reactive Protein With Bacterial and Respiratory Syncytial Virus–Associated Pneumonia Among Children Aged <5 Years in the PERCH Study

Melissa M. Higdon, +96 more
TL;DR: Elevated CRP was positively associated with confirmed bacterial pneumonia and negatively associated with RSV pneumonia in PERCH, suggesting CRP may be useful for distinguishing bacterial from RSV-associated pneumonia, although its role in discriminating against other respiratory viral- associated pneumonia needs further study.
