“…16 The Annals has published outcomes from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO), 17 the Singapore Mental Health Study, [18][19][20] and several other cohort studies providing vital epidemiological insights into disease dynamics in Singapore. Other notable articles covered the cost of managing chronic diseases, 16 drug utilisation and long-term outcomes of stroke patients, 21,22 prehospital care among patients with cardiac arrests, 23,24 risk factors for obstetric emergencies such as uterine rupture, 25 Southeast Asia's annual affair with trans-boundary haze, 26,27 and the adoption of newer laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgical techniques. 28 To contextualise these reports, we encourage authors to provide bullet-point summaries to explain their key findings and their clinical implications.…”
