Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) During Pregnancy: Prevalence of Seroconversion, Effect on Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes and Risk of Vertical Transmission (COVID-MAP)
The objectives of this proposal are to: 1) determine the rate of SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in unselected pregnant women in Hong Kong; 2) determine the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection in women presenting with miscarriage and stillbirth; 3) follow the pregnancy course and perinatal outcome of confirmed COVID-19-infected pregnant cases; 4) determine …
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. …
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 …
Observational Study of Patients Suffering From Endometriosis and Adenomyosis
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are chronic difficult diseases affecting a significant proportion of reproductive age women. it is hoped that the investigators can collect the health profile of these participants using structured questionnaires on their quality of life, reproductive health, collect the sonographic characteristics, identify the risks factors of participants suffering …
Prospective Study on Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Hong Kong (PrOSA)
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder with prevalence rates of at least 4% among the middle-aged male Caucasians and Hong Kong (HK) Chinese populations. It is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction, causing intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, disabling daytime sleepiness, impaired cognitive function and poor …
Prospective Multicenter Evaluation of a New Predictive Model for the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity affecting the orientation and position of the spine. Locally, the shape of the vertebra is also affected. The most common form is adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with a prevalence of 1-3% affecting primarily young adolescent females. AIS can either be treated using a brace and …

To Identify Potential New Urine Marker Panel for Cancer Screening
Polyamines are naturally produced metabolites in our cells. There were some reports suggested the urinary levels of polyamines were altered in patients with different cancers. This study is to explore the use of urinary polyamine for the diagnosis of common cancers.
Thumb Ossification Composite Index (TOCI) to Predict Skeletal Maturity and Curve Progression in AIS
Accurate skeletal maturity assessment is important for prediction of curve progression and clinical management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) including bracing decision and counseling for prognosis. Determination of the timing of peak growth height velocity and growth remaining are paramount important.1,2 Commonly used clinical or radiological methods are still inadequate …
Diagnostic Accuracy of a Panel of Bacterial Gene Markers (M3) for Colorectal Advanced Neoplasia
The investigators aim to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of FIT and the novel panel of bacterial gene markers (Fn, m3, Ch and Bc) collectively named as M3, in detecting colorectal advanced neoplasia.
