The prevalence of OSA is well studied in children and adults. However, adolescence - an interface between childhood and adulthood, and a period of developmental changes known to affect sleep is largely …
GWA Study in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The aim of this study is to identify new genes in Chinese patients that help investigators to understand the biological pathway and functions in a population in whom the incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is increasing. And to explore the genetic variations in Chinese patients with IBD.
Multiomics Biomarkers for Urolithiasis
This is a prospective case series study. To compare urine sample of recurrent stone-formers and non-stone former by multiomics approach to identify potential markers for stone recurrence.
Patients on Antithrombotics for Colonoscopy
The use of antithrombotics (antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants) is increasing with an aging global population.Management of antithrombotics in patients undergoing invasive procedures including gastrointestinal endoscopy remains a challenge. Management approach includes taking a precarious balance between the risk of thromboembolism after interruption of antithrombotics and risk of bleeding with the …
Prospective Evaluation of Patients With Pleural Effusion
Having a pleural effusion is a common reason for being hospitalized, as it usually requires in-patient care for invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Specific subtypes of pleural effusion may warrant recurrent admissions, a longer hospital stay and consume more healthcare resources. Despite the recent advancement of pleural medicine, better research …

Accuracy of an AI-clinical Knowledge-based Hybrid System for Detecting Periodontitis in OPG Images
Periodontitis is highly prevalent and rarely detected and treated in the earlier stages of the disease. Orthopantomography (OPG) is the most frequently taken dental radiograph around the world, and its systematic screening may contribute to early detection of periodontitis and access to the needed level of care. The investigators' recent …
HEARTWISE - P-CARDIAC for Chinese: Population-based Study
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the prominent diseases that affect many people. One cost-effective solution is to identify people at higher risk of CVD by CVD risk prediction model. China-PAR, TRS-2P, and SMART2 are common risk prediction models for prevention. However, these risk scores were mostly based on the …
Perceive and Calculated CV Risk
Cardiovascular prevention guidelines use estimated 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk to guide treatment decisions and engage patients in shared decision-making. Research has focused on refining the accuracy of these CV risk calculators for different populations, relatively little has been done to understand how patients perceive their own ASCVD risk. …
