Non-invasive Assessment for Outcome Prediction in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma
This is a single-centre, prospective cohort study. Consecutive patients with compensated liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for curative-intent treatment will be invited to this study. The study follow-up duration will be five years. The primary outcome is the composite of incident high-risk varices, hepatic decompensation and liver-related mortality. The …
Non-invasive Monitoring of Miscarriage
cfDNA is extremely useful to ascertain chromosomal causes of miscarriages at the point of miscarriage diagnosis by a simple blood test. This study aims to determine the level of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in early pregnancy and compare the results with those of product of conception (POC) testing, in concordance with …
A Study on COPD Phenotypes, Endotypes and Treatable Traits
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous and multisystemic disease with progressive increasing morbidity and mortality. COPD is now widely accepted as a heterogeneous condition with multiple phenotypes and endotypes.The recognition of COPD phenotypes and endotypes has significantly impacted the management of the disease. Furthermore, treatable traits (TTs) are …
Use of Biologics for Severe Asthma in Hong Kong
The landscape of biologics therapy used in Hong Kong is currently unknown. The purpose of this study is to conduct a retrospective analysis of the use of biologics treatment for severe asthma in Hong Kong. The study aims to assess the landscape of biologics usage, evaluate the characteristics and conditions …
Chronic Endometritis and Benefits of Antibiotics in Women With Recurrent Miscarriage
The aim of the study is to estimate the incidence of CE, evaluate the endometrial microorganism of CE, and investigate the therapeutic benefits of antibiotics for women with unexplained recurrent miscarriage and CE.
Natural History of Advanced Chronic Liver Diseases
This is a retrospective-prospective registry cohort study. Patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) will be prospectively invited to this study. The study follow-up duration will be 10 years. The primary outcome is incident hepatic events and liver-related mortality. Participants will undergo annual transient elastography examination.
Application of Comprehensive Non-invasive Assessment To Phenotype Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an increasingly recognized valvular heart disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. With the availability of various novel transcatheter tricuspid interventions, it is no longer considered a "forgotten valve." Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent condition also characterized by high morbidity and …
Smartwatch Paroxysmal Arrhythmia Detection Compared with Holter
The lifetime risk for development of atrial fibrillation, the commonest sustained arrhythmia in adults, is estimated to be 24%-27% for individuals of 40 years or older. Previous work showed that annual new diagnosis of AF is 11000-26000 in Hong Kong. Other arrhythmia such as supraventricular arrhythmia or premature beats were …
Angiolite Registry Study
Left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a major branch of coronary artery and supplies a large bulk of myocardium. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using contemporary drug eluting stent (DES) is one of the treatment options for patients with significant LMCA disease and suitable anatomy as multiple randomized controlled trials and …
Cardiovascular Physiological Signal Recording Project
Vital sign monitoring is important for patients, especially those with underlying cardiovascular diseases. Traditional monitoring including SaO2, blood pressure, pulse, rhythm monitoring can be cumbersome, with wires and cuff attached to a patient. This can lead to reduced compliance, especially in uncooperative patients or young kids. The use of photoplethysmography …
