Abstract
Until recently, coronary revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention has been regarded as the standard choice for stable coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly for patients with a significant burden of ischemia. However, in conjunction with remarkable advances in adjunctive medical therapy and a deeper understanding of its long-term prognosis from recent large-scale clinical trials, including ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches), the approach to stable CAD has changed drastically. Although the updated evidence from recent randomized clinical trials will likely modify the recommendations for future clinical practice guidelines, there are still unresolved and unmet issues in Asia, where prevalence and practice patterns are markedly different from those in Western countries. Herein, the authors discuss perspectives on: 1) assessing the diagnostic probability of patients with stable CAD; 2) application of noninvasive imaging tests; 3) initiation and titration of medical therapy; and 4) evolution of revascularization procedures in the modern era.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the recent practice of design and statistical analysis of ophthalmic randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Design Review of 96 ophthalmic RCTs. Methods Two authors (R.D., G.S.Y.) reviewed primary result papers published from January 2020 through December 2021 in Ophthalmology, JAMA Ophthalmology, American Journal of Ophthalmology, and British Journal of Ophthalmology. Data were extracted and analyzed for the characteristics of design (1-eye design, 2-eye design, paired-eye design, and subject design), sample size and power, and statistical analysis for intereye correlation adjustment, missing data, and correction for multiplicity. Main Outcome Measures Characteristics of trial design and statistical analysis. Results Among 96 RCTs, 50 (52%) used 1-eye design, 21 (22%) 2-eye design, 10 (10%) paired-eye design, and 15 (16%) subject design. In 31 trials of 2-eye design or paired-eye design, 18 (58%) trials had suboptimal analysis of data from both eyes by analyzing data from 1 eye (n = 10), taking the average of 2 eyes (n = 2), analyzing 2 eyes separately (n = 1), ignoring intereye correlation (n = 3), or not specifying how 2-eye data were analyzed (n = 2), and 13 trials (42%) properly adjusted the intereye correlation by using the mixed-effects model (n = 6), paired t test (n = 5), generalized estimating equations (n = 1), or marginal Cox regression model (n = 1). Among 96 trials, 75 (78%) provided both sample size and statistical power estimation, and 16 (17%) trials described statistical test for sample size or power estimation. Missing data in primary outcome occurred in 86 (90%) trials with a median missing data rate of 8%, 32 (37%) trials applied statistical methods for missing data, including last value carried forward (n = 10), multiple imputation (n = 14), or other approaches (n = 8). Among 25 trials with > 2 arms, 16 (64%) corrected for multiplicity using the Bonferroni procedure (n = 8), Hochberg procedure (n = 2), Gatekeeping procedure (n = 2), or hierarchical procedure (n = 4). Among 16 trials with multiple primary outcomes, 4 (25%) corrected for multiplicity by the Bonferroni procedure. Conclusions There are opportunities for improvement in the design and statistical analyses of ophthalmic trials, particularly in the aspects of adjustment for intereye correlation, missing data, and multiplicity. Continuing education in ophthalmology and vision research community may improve the quality of ophthalmic trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the available evidence about the perioperative management of patients who are receiving long-term antiplatelet therapy and require elective surgery/procedures. METHODS This systematic review supports the development of the American College of Chest Physicians guideline on the perioperative management of antiplatelet therapy. A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and Cochrane databases was conducted from each database's inception to July 16, 2020. Meta-analyses were conducted when possible. RESULTS In patients receiving long-term antiplatelet therapy and undergoing elective noncardiac surgery, the available evidence did not show a significant difference in major bleeding between a shorter vs longer antiplatelet interruption, with low certainty of evidence (COE). Compared with patients who received placebo perioperatively, aspirin continuation was associated with increased risk of major bleeding (relative risk [RR], 1.31; 95% CI, 1.15-1.50; high COE) and lower risk of major thromboembolism (RR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.58-0.94; moderate COE). During antiplatelet interruption, bridging with low-molecular-weight heparin was associated with increased risk of major bleeding compared with no bridging (RR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.24-2.79; very low COE). Continuation of antiplatelets during minor dental and ophthalmologic procedures was not associated with a statistically significant difference in the risk of major bleeding (very low COE). CONCLUSION This systematic review summarizes the current evidence about the perioperative management of antiplatelet therapy and highlights the urgent need for further research, particularly with the increasing prevalence of patients taking 1 or more antiplatelet agents.

Abstract
Hispanic/Latinx adult smokers in the United States (US) face barriers to receiving and utilizing evidenced-based cessation treatments compared with other racial/ethnic groups. The lack of efficacious and accessible smoking cessation treatments for this population further contributes to such smoking disparities. In a secondary analysis, we explored the efficacy of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based website (WebQuit.org) versus a US Clinical Practice Guidelines (USCPG)-based website (Smokefree.gov) for smoking cessation in a subset of Hispanic/Latinx adult participants enrolled in the WebQuit trial. Of the 2,637 participants who were randomized in the parent trial, 222 were Hispanic/Latinx (n = 101 in WebQuit, n = 121 in Smokefree). Smoking cessation outcomes were measured at 3, 6, and 12-months. The primary outcome was self-reported complete-case 30-day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) at 12-months. Treatment engagement and satisfaction, change in acceptance of urges to smoke, and commitment to quitting smoking were compared across conditions. Retention rate was 88% at 12-months. WebQuit participants had higher odds of smoking cessation compared to Smokefree participants at 12-months (40% vs. 25%; OR = 1.93 95% CI: 1.04, 3.59). Findings were similar using multiple imputation. WebQuit participants engaged more with the website than Smokefree participants through multiple indicators of engagement, including spending more time using the website (IRR = 2.32; 95% CI: 1.68, 3.20). Although WebQuit participants engaged more with the website than Smokefree participants, there was no evidence that differences in quit rates were mediated by engagement level. This study provides initial empirical evidence that digital interventions may be efficacious for helping Hispanic/Latinx adults quit smoking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to vitamin D in early life has been associated with improved bone mineralization, but no studies have investigated the combined effect of pregnancy supplementation and childhood 25(OH)D concentrations on bone health. METHODS We analyzed the effect of serum 25(OH)D concentrations at age 6 months and 6 years and the combined effect with prenatal high-dose vitamin D (2800 vs. 400 IU/day) on bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC) assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans at age 3 and 6 years and longitudinal risk of fractures in a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial in the Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood 2010 (COPSAC2010) mother-child cohort with enrollment from March 4, 2009, to November 17, 2010, and clinical follow-up until January 31, 2019 (NCT00856947). All participants randomized to intervention and with complete data were included in the analyses. FINDINGS At age 6 months, serum 25(OH)D concentration was measured in 93% (n = 541) of 584 children. Children with sufficient (≥ 75 nmol/l) vs. insufficient (< 75 nmol/l) concentrations did not have lower risk of fractures: incidence rate ratio (95% CI); 0.64 (0.37;1.11), p = 0.11. However, vitamin D sufficient children from mothers receiving high-dose supplementation during pregnancy had a 60% reduced incidence of fractures compared with vitamin D insufficient children from mothers receiving standard-dose: 0.40 (0.19;0.84), p = 0.02.At age 6 years, serum 25(OH)D concentration was measured in 83% (n = 318) of 383 children with available DXA data. Whole-body bone mineralization was higher in vitamin D sufficient children at age 6 years; BMD, adjusted mean difference (aMD) (95% CI): 0.011 g/cm2 (0.001;0.021), p = 0.03, and BMC, aMD: 12.3 g (-0.8;25.4), p = 0.07, with the largest effect in vitamin D sufficient children from mothers receiving high-dose vitamin D supplementation; BMD, aMD: 0.016 g/cm2 (0.002;0.030), p = 0.03, and BMC, aMD: 23.5 g (5.5;41.5), p = 0.01. INTERPRETATION Childhood vitamin D sufficiency improved bone mineralization and in combination with prenatal high-dose vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of fractures. FUNDING The study was supported by The Lundbeck Foundation R16-A1694, The Danish Ministry of Health 903,516, The Danish Council for Strategic Research 0603-00280B and The European Research Council 946,228.

Abstract
Over the last decade, based on evidence from multiple randomized clinical trials, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the established treatment for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Despite the overwhelming expansion of TAVR in Western countries, the initial uptake and widespread adoption of this procedure have been relatively delayed in Asian countries, owing to the high cost of devices; limited local health and reimbursement policies; and lack of specific training/proctoring program, specialized heart team, or dedicated infrastructure. Furthermore, it has not yet been determined whether there are substantial interracial and ethnic differences in the clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and anatomic features, as well as procedural and long-term outcomes, in patients receiving TAVR. In this review, we provide not only a comprehensive look at the current status and outcomes of TAVR in Asian populations compared with those of Western populations but also a perspective on the future of TAVR in Asia.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) has been recognized as a severe complication of diabetes mellitus and a dominant pathogeny of end-stage kidney disease, which causes serious health problems and great financial burden to human society worldwide. Conventional strategies, such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade, blood glucose level control, and bodyweight reduction, may not achieve satisfactory outcomes in many clinical practices for DN management. Notably, due to the multi-target function, Chinese medicine possesses promising clinical benefits as primary or alternative therapies for DN treatment. Increasing studies have emphasized identifying bioactive compounds and molecular mechanisms of reno-protective effects of Chinese medicines. Signaling pathways involved in glucose/lipid metabolism regulation, antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, and podocyte protection have been identified as crucial mechanisms of action. Herein, we summarize the clinical efficacies of Chinese medicines and their bioactive components in treating and managing DN after reviewing the results demonstrated in clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, with a thorough discussion on the relative underlying mechanisms and molecular targets reported in animal and cellular experiments. We aim to provide comprehensive insights into the protective effects of Chinese medicines against DN.

Abstract
Approximately 45% of young cancer survivors (18-40 years) are cigarette smokers. Continued smoking after cancer diagnosis leads to lower survival rates. A major logistical problem with smoking cessation efforts in this group is their geographic dispersion which makes them hard to reach. In addition, depression is a major predictor of smoking relapse and its rates are roughly twice as high in cancer survivors as the general population. Smartphone applications (apps) show promise in terms of efficacy, dissemination, and improving access to treatment. Mindfulness training (defined as maintaining attention on one's immediate experience and cultivating an attitude of acceptance toward this experience) is effective in improving smoking cessation outcomes by reducing psychological stress and controlling craving. Given that smartphone apps can address the issues of mobility and remote access, and mindfulness can address the high depression rate among cancer survivors, validating the feasibility and efficacy of a mindfulness-based smoking cessation intervention app in young cancer survivors is a high priority. Thus, the aims of the current study are: (1) test the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of the mindfulness-based smoking cessation app versus in-person mindfulness or usual care in a 3-arm pilot randomized clinical trial among young cancer survivors (n = 60; 18-40 years); and 2) conduct semi-structured exit interviews with participants in the two mindfulness groups to fine-tune the two active interventions based on feedback from participants. Findings will have implications for the development and dissemination of innovative and highly scalable tobacco cessation interventions designed for young cancer survivors.

Abstract
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is highly prevalent among veterans. Although there are effective treatment approaches for PTSD, such as Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy, many providers trained in these approaches do not use them, or use them without sufficient fidelity, and veterans drop out of these treatments at very high rates. The time intensive nature of these treatments is frequently cited as a barrier to receiving the treatment among veterans and delivering the treatment among providers. According, there is an urgent need to establish more efficient and effective PTSD treatment approaches in order to meet the needs of veterans seeking care. Written exposure therapy (WET) is an efficient, exposure-based treatment, and may represent a plausible alternative treatment option to address PTSD in veterans. Although WET has been found to be effective and non-inferior to more time intensive trauma-focused treatment, it has not yet been investigated with a veteran sample. In an ongoing randomized controlled trial (RCT) we are investigating whether WET is non-inferior in treating PTSD compared with the more time intensive PE. The study sample will include 150 men and women veterans diagnosed with PTSD who are randomly assigned to either WET (n = 75) or PE (n = 75). Participants are assessed prior to treatment and 10-, 20-, and 30-weeks after the first treatment session. The primary outcome is PTSD symptom severity assessed with the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5. Establishing that PTSD can be treated effectively with fewer treatment sessions would represent a significant advance in improving access to evidence-based care for veterans with PTSD.

Abstract
Tumor recurrence rate after surgery or ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is as high as 70%. However, there are no widely accepted adjuvant therapies; therefore, no treatment has been recommended by guidelines from the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease or the European Association for the Study of the Liver. All the registered trials failed to find any treatment to prolong recurrence-free survival, which is the primary outcome in most studies, including sorafenib. Some investigator-initiated studies revealed that anti-hepatitis B virus agents, interferon-α, transcatheter chemoembolization, chemokine-induced killer cells, and other treatments prolonged patient recurrence-free survival or overall survival after curative therapies. In this review, we summarize the current status of adjuvant treatments for HCC and explain the challenges associated with designing a clinical trial for adjuvant therapy. Promising new treatments being used as adjuvant therapy, especially anti-PD-1 antibodies, are also discussed.

Abstract
To date, 3 clinical trials have shown symptomatic benefit from the use of intravenous (IV) iron in patients with heart failure (HF) with low serum iron. This has led to recommendations in support of the use of IV iron in this population. However, the systemic and cellular mechanisms of iron homeostasis in cardiomyocyte health and disease are distinct, complex, and poorly understood. Iron metabolism in HF appears dysregulated, but it is still unclear whether the changes are maladaptive and pathologic or compensatory and protective for the cardiomyocytes. The serum markers of iron deficiency in HF do not accurately reflect cellular and mitochondrial iron levels, and the current definition based on the ferritin and transferrin saturation values is broad and inclusive of patients who do not need IV iron. This is particularly relevant in view of the potential risks that are associated with the use of IV iron. Reliable markers of cellular iron status may differentiate subgroups of HF patients who would benefit from cellular and mitochondrial iron chelation rather than IV iron.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are commonly used in patients with metastatic bone disease to prevent skeletal related events. Atypical femur fracture is a known complication of long-term bisphosphonate use but the incidence in cancer patients and pathogenesis are not well known. Several mechanisms of pathogenesis have been proposed including altered angiogenesis, altered bone mechanical properties, micro damage and bone remodeling suppression. Atypical femur fractures are atraumatic or minimally traumatic fractures in the sub trochanteric region or the femoral shaft. Awareness of atypical femur fractures is critical to diagnose and treat them in a timely manner. There is a paucity of data regarding the management of atypical femur fracture in patients with malignancy. Management options of atypical femur fractures include stopping bisphosphonates, initiating calcium/vitamin D supplementation and either surgery with internal fixation or conservative management. In the future, it will be important to explore the effect of continuous vs. intermittent exposure, cumulative dose and length of exposure on the incidence of this complication. Herein, we review the epidemiology, risk factors, management options and proposed mechanisms of pathogenesis of atypical femur fractures.

Abstract
The practice of evidence-based nutrition involves using the best available nutrition evidence, together with clinical experience, to conscientiously work with patients’ values and preferences to help them prevent (sometimes), resolve (sometimes), or cope with (often) problems related to their physical, mental, and social health. This article outlines the 3 fundamental principles of evidence-based practice as applied to the field of clinical nutrition. First, optimal clinical decision making requires awareness of the best available evidence, which ideally will come from unbiased systematic summaries of that evidence. Second, evidence-based nutrition provides guidance on how to decide which evidence is more or less trustworthy—that is, how certain can we be of our patients’ prognosis, diagnosis, or of our therapeutic options? Third, evidence alone is never sufficient to make a clinical decision. Decision makers must always trade off the benefits with the risks, burden, and costs associated with alternative management strategies, and, in so doing, consider their patients’ unique predicament, including their values and preferences.

Abstract
Current methods for subgroup analyses of data collected from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) may lead to false-positives from multiple testing, lack power to detect moderate but clinically meaningful differences, or be too simplistic in characterizing patients who may benefit from treatment. Herein, we present a general procedure based on a set of newly developed statistical methods for the identification and evaluation of complex multivariate predictors of treatment effect. Furthermore, we implemented this procedure to identify a subgroup of patients who may receive the largest benefit from bevacizumab treatment using a panel of 10 biomarkers measured at baseline in patients enrolled on two RCTs investigating bevacizumab in metastatic breast cancer. Data were collected from patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (AVADO) and HER2-positive (AVEREL) metastatic breast cancer. We first developed a classification rule based on an estimated individual scoring system, using data from the AVADO study only. The classification rule takes into consideration a panel of biomarkers, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A. We then classified the patients in the independent AVEREL study into patient groups according to “promising” or “not-promising” treatment benefit based on this rule and conducted a statistical analysis within these subgroups to compute point estimates, confidence intervals, and p-values for treatment effect and its interaction. In the group with promising treatment benefit in the AVEREL study, the estimated hazard ratio of bevacizumab versus placebo for progression-free survival was 0.687 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.462–1.024, p = 0.065), while in the not-promising group the hazard ratio (HR) was 1.152 (95% CI: 0.526–2.524, p = 0.723). Using the median level of VEGF-A from the AVEREL study to divide the study population, then the HR becomes 0.711 (95% CI: 0.435–1.163, p = 0.174) in the promising group and 0.828 (95% CI: 0.496–1.380, p = 0.468) in the not-promising group. Similar results were obtained with the median VEGF-A levels from the AVADO study (“promising” group: HR = 0.709, 95%CI: 0.444–1.133, p = 0.151; “not-promising” group: HR = 0.851, 95% CI: 0.497–1.458, p = 0.556). Our analysis shows it is feasible to employ statistical methods for empirically constructing and validating a scoring system based on a panel of biomarkers. This scoring system can be used to estimate the treatment effect for individual patients and identify a subgroup of patients who may benefit from treatment. The proposed procedure can provide a general framework to organize many statistical methods (existing or to be developed) into a coherent set of analyses for the development of personalized medicines and has the potential of broad applications.
