Clinical similarity, economic divergence: cost-effectiveness and population health implications of dietary, pharmacological, and exercise interventions in older adults with type 2 diabetes: a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Interventions with similar short-term clinical outcomes may differ substantially in their economic and population health value. Within the short-term trial horizon, lifestyle-based strategies were associated with more favorable cost-utility profiles. These findings should be interpreted as exploratory and should not be extrapolated to long-term comparative effectiveness, particularly given the established long-term cardiovascular and renal… →

A multifaceted intervention to increase bystander CPR rates after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in France: a stepped-wedge, cluster-randomised, controlled trial
BACKGROUND: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a key determinant of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but rates remain suboptimal worldwide. We evaluated whether a multifaceted intervention targeting emergency dispatch systems and community response could increase bystander-initiated CPR before emergency medical service (EMS) arrival. →

Efficacy and tolerability of co-administration of clozapine with atypical antipsychotics in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, comorbid with chemical addictions
CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive treatment strategy for therapeutically resistant schizophrenia, irrespective of concomitant addictions, is the combination of clozapine with cariprazine; lurasidone serves as an alternative option. The selection of an effective adjunctive therapy should consider the specific type of addiction: lurasidone or aripiprazole is recommended for cannabinoid, psychostimulant, and alcohol dependencies; risperidone or olanzapine is… →

Optimization of Anticoagulation Strategy During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Neonates with Congenital Heart Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: An initial heparin dose of 600 U/kg in neonatal CPB was associated with a smaller F1+2 increase and greater initial ACT response. Larger studies are needed to establish clinical benefit and safety. →
