Risk factors for hospital-based surgical site infections
AbstractSurgical site infections (SSIs) contribute to morbidity and are costly to the healthcare system. To identify factors associated with SSIs. Case –control study analyzing the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD). We identified 45,445 SSIs. Infection rates were higher in those who were obese (BMI ≥ 30) (OR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.28–1.51), tobacco users (OR: 1.08, 95% CI 1.02–1.15), diagnosed with diabetes (OR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.10–1.22), with Elixhauser Comorbidity Index ≥ 2 (OR: 1.14, 95% CI 1.09–1.20), admitted to hospital for 4–6 days (OR: 1.35, 95% CI 1.29–1.42), in medium-size hospital (OR: 1.15...

The bidirectional causal association between psoriasis and psychological illnesses: a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study
The objective of this study was to evaluate the causality of psoriasis and psychological illnesses. All summary-level data from genome-wide association studies for psoriasis and psychological illnesses were collected from Neale Lab and MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit. Bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis was performed to determine the random orientation with an independent genetic variation. The main estimated effects are derived using Inverse-Variance Weighted, weighted median, and MR Egger methods. Multiple data sets were validated against each other, and a series of sensitivity studies were conducted to ensu...
