The Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Registry
The human intestinal microbiota is composed of complex community of 1013 to 1014 commensal microorganisms[1]. Human intestine provides a nutrient-rich habitat for intestinal microorganism which allows a diverse ecosystem to enhance their host's immune system and facilitate digestive activities. Numerous researches are investigating the role of gut microbiota in human …
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.

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 …
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. …
