RTX offered no additional benefit over placebo to our patients with active and moderate to severe GO and carried with it non-negligible adverse effects.
Observational evidence warranting low confidence suggests that compared to transdermal ET, oral ET may be associated with increased risk of VTE and DVT, but not MI.
Key Points
Question
What is the association between low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of sepsis in patients admitted to the hospital with serious infection?
Findings
In this cohort study of deidentified electronic medical records of patients admitted to the hospital with infection, measured levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 3961 patients and a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol genetic risk score in 7804 patients were not associated with increased risk of sepsis after adjusting for comorbidities.
Meaning
Levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are not directly associated with the risk of sepsis or poor outcomes in patients hospitalized with infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
