Abstract	Introduction: Prolonged Length of Stay (LOS) in ED (Emergency Department) has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. Prediction of ED LOS may help optimize resource utilization, clinical management, and benchmarking. This study aims to systematically review models for predicting ED LOS and to assess the reporting and methodological quality about these models. Methods: The online database PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (10 Sep 2023) was searched for English language articles that reported prediction models of LOS in ED. Identified titles and abstracts were independently screened by two reviewers. All original papers describing either development (with or without internal validation) or external validation of a prediction model for LOS in ED were included. Results: Of 12,193 uniquely identified articles, 34 studies were included (29 describe the development of new models and five describe the validation of existing models). Different statistical and machine learning methods were applied to the papers. On the 39-point reporting score and 11-point methodological quality score, the highest reporting scores for development and validation studies were 39 and 8, respectively. Conclusion: Various studies on prediction models for ED LOS were published but they are fairly heterogeneous and suffer from methodological and reporting issues. Model development studies were associated with a poor to a fair level of methodological quality in terms of the predictor selection approach, the sample size, reproducibility of the results, missing imputation technique, and avoiding dichotomizing continuous variables. Moreover, it is recommended that future investigators use the confirmed checklist to improve the quality of reporting.

Abstract	Background: To maximize the likelihood of positive outcome in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survivors, potential benefits of treatment modalities have to be weighed against the possibilities of damage to normal tissues, such as the heart. High-quality data-driven evidence regarding appropriate risk stratification strategies is still scarce. The aim of this review is to summarize and appraise available prediction models for treatment-induced cardiac events in patients with NSCLC. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE was performed using a Boolean combination of appropriate truncation and indexing terms related to "NSCLC", "prediction models", "cardiac toxicity", and "treatment modalities". The following exclusion criteria were applied: sample-size of less than 100, no significant predictors in multivariate analysis, lack of model specifications, and case-mix studies. The generic inverse variance method was used to pool the summary effect estimate for each predictor. The quality of the papers was assessed using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool. Results: Of the 3,056 papers retrieved, 28 prediction models were identified, including seven for (chemo-)radiotherapy, one for immunotherapy, and 20 for surgical resection. Forty-one distinct predictors were entered in the prediction models. The pooled effect estimate of the mean heart dose (HR = 1.06, 95%CI:1.04-1.08) and history of cardiovascular diseases (HR = 3.1, 95%CI:1.8-5.36) were shown to significantly increase the risk of developing late cardiac toxicity after (chemo-)radiotherapy. Summary estimates of age (OR = 1.17, 95%CI:1.06-1.29), male gender (OR = 1.61, 95%CI:1.4-1.85), and advanced stage (OR = 1.34, 95%CI:1.06-1.69) were significantly associated with higher risk of acute cardiac events after surgery. Risk of bias varied across studies, but analysis was the most concerning domain where none of the studies were judged to be low risk. Conclusion: This review highlights the need for a robust prediction model which can inform patients and clinicians about expected treatment-induced heart damage. Identified clues suggest incorporation of detailed cardiac metrics (substructures' volumes and doses).

Abstract	Background: The normal range of kidney size is a controversial issue among different populations given to its impressibility by multiple factors, therefore, this study aimed to provide valid reference ranges for kidney dimensions in the adult population of Mashhad. Also, we assessed the association of kidney size characteristics with some personal predisposing factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 938 healthy individuals. Ultrasound measurement, physical examination, and laboratory analysis were performed. Demographic, dietary, and anthropometric data were obtained. The variables were categorized into 5 groups each, and data analysis were performed using the following statistical tests: Pearson correlation test, variance analysis, t-test, and chi-square test. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Weight had the most association with kidney size followed to a lesser extent by height and age. Even after adjustment for other confounding variables, weight remained as an independent factor, while this effect was resolved for height and age. Also, all values for renal function, body bio-impedance, blood pressure components, and water intake were notably correlated with kidney size. Conclusion: This study determined the normal kidney size in healthy adults. We also declared the normal range of kidney size is a dynamic concept and should be assessed for each individual separately according to their personal determinative factors.

Abstract	Purpose: The study was aimed to assess the prognostic power The Pediatric Risk of Mortality-3 (PRISM-3) and the Pediatric Index of Mortality-3 (PIM-3) to predict in-hospital mortality in a sample of patients admitted to the PICUs. Design and methods: The study was performed to include all children younger than 18 years of age admitted to receive critical care in two hospitals, Mashhad, northeast of Iran from December 2017 to November 2018. The predictive performance was quantified in terms of the overall performance by measuring the Brier Score (BS) and standardized mortality ratio (SMR), discrimination by assessing the AUC, and calibration by applying the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. Results: A total of 2446 patients with the median age of 4.2 months (56% male) were included in the study. The PICU and in-hospital mortality were 12.4 and 16.14%, respectively. The BS of the PRISM-3 and PIM-3 was 0.088 and 0.093 for PICU mortality and 0.108 and 0.113 for in-hospital mortality. For the entire sample, the SMR of the PRISM-3 and PIM-3 were 1.34 and 1.37 for PICU mortality and 1.73 and 1.78 for in-hospital mortality, respectively. The PRISM-3 demonstrated significantly higher discrimination power in comparison with the PIM-3 (AUC = 0.829 vs 0.745) for in-hospital mortality. (AUC = 0.779 vs 0.739) for in-hospital mortality. The HL test revealed poor calibration for both models in both outcomes. Conclusions: The performance measures of PRISM-3 were better than PIM-3 in both PICU and in-hospital mortality. However, further recalibration and modification studies are required to improve the predictive power to a clinically acceptable level before daily clinical use. Practice implications: The calibration of the PRISM-3 model is more satisfactory than PIM-3, however both models have fair discrimination power.

Abstract	Background: Deterioration of neurocognitive function in adult patients with a primary brain tumor is the most concerning side effect of radiotherapy. This study was aimed to develop and evaluate Normal-Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) models using clinical and dose-volume measures for 6-month, 1-year and 2-year Neurocognitive Decline (ND) post-radiotherapy. Methods: A total of 219 patients with a primary brain tumor treated with radical photon and/or proton radiotherapy (RT) between 2019 and 2022 were included. Controlled Oral Word Association (COWA) test, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLTR) and Trail Making Test (TMT) were used to objectively measure ND. A comprehensive set of potential clinical and dose-volume measures on several brain structures were considered for statistical modelling. Clinical, dose-volume and combined models were constructed and internally tested in terms of discrimination (Area Under the Curve, AUC), calibration (Mean Absolute Error, MAE) and net benefit. Results: 50%, 44.5% and 42.7% of the patients developed ND at 6-month, 1-year and 2-year timepoints, respectively. Following predictors were included in the combined model for 6-month ND: age at radiotherapy>56 years (OR=5.71), overweight (OR=0.49), obesity (OR=0.35), chemotherapy (OR=2.23), brain V20Gy≥20% (OR=3.53), brainstem volume≥26cc (OR=0.39) and hypothalamus volume≥0.5cc (OR=0.4). Decision curve analysis showed that the combined models had the highest net benefits at 6-month (AUC=0.79, MAE=0.021), 1-year (AUC=0.72, MAE=0.027) and 2-year (AUC=0.69, MAE=0.038) timepoints. Conclusion: The proposed NTCP models use easy-to-obtain predictors to identify patients at high-risk of ND after brain RT. These models can potentially provide a base for RT-related decisions and post-therapy neurocognitive rehabilitation interventions.

Abstract	Radiomics objectively quantifies image information through numerical metrics known as features. In this study, we investigated the stability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics features in rectal cancer using both anatomical MRI and quantitative MRI (qMRI), when different methods to define the tumor volume were used. Second, we evaluated the prognostic value of stable features associated to 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). On a 1.5 T MRI scanner, 81 patients underwent diagnostic MRI, an extended diffusion-weighted sequence with calculation of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and a multiecho dynamic contrast sequence generating both dynamic contrast-enhanced and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR, allowing quantification of K

Abstract	Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the retinal and choroidal changes in the macular region of patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) using structural spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) analysis. Methods: This cross-sectional observational case-control study included patients recovered from COVID-19. The COVID-19 in all participants was confirmed using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique. The participants had mild to moderate degree of disease without a history of hospitalization, steroid usage, or blood saturation below 92%. Macular SD-OCT was performed at least two weeks and up to one month after recovery from systemic COVID-19. Quantitative and qualitative changes detected by macular SD-OCT imaging were evaluated in COVID-19 recovered patients and compared with the results of age-matched normal controls. Results: Participants in this study included 30 cases (60 eyes) and 60 healthy controls (120 eyes). In total, 17 (28.3%) eyes in patient group showed at least one abnormal finding indicated by macular SD-OCT imaging included hyperreflective lesions in different retinal layers. In addition, dilated choroidal vessels and retinal pigment epitheliopathy were evident in 41 (68.3.6%) and 4 (6.6%) eyes in patient group, respectively, and their OCT findings resembled those with pachychoroid spectrum. No statistically significant differences were observed in retinal layers or retinal volume between the two groups. The mean ± SD subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) was determined at 380.3 ± 12.40 μm, which was significantly thicker than that in control group (310.7 ± 57.5 μm) (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Regarding retinal thickness, no significant change was observed in different retina layers of patients with COVID-19; however, there were striking qualitative changes, such as hyperreflective lesions in different retinal layers. The evaluation of choroidal structure and thickness demonstrated remarkable abnormal pachyvessels and significant thickening of the SFCT but the clinical significance of these findings is unknown.

Abstract	Purpose: Rectal toxicity remains a major threat to quality of life of patients, who receive brachytherapy to the abdominal pelvic area. Estimating the risk of toxicity development is essential to maximize therapeutic benefit without impairing rectal function. This study aimed to abstract and evaluate studies, which have developed prediction models for rectal toxicity after brachytherapy (BT) in patients with pelvic cancers. Material and methods: To identify relevant studies since 1995, MEDLINE database was searched on August 31, 2021, using terms related to "pelvic cancers", "brachytherapy", "prediction models", and "rectal toxicity". Papers were excluded if model specifications were not reported. Risk of bias was assessed using prediction model risk of bias assessment tool. Results: Thirty models ( Conclusions: Existing models have limited clinical application due to poor quality of methodology. The following key issues should be considered in future studies: 1) Measuring patient-reported outcomes to address underestimation of true frequencies of rectal toxicity events; 2) Giving higher priority to reliable dose-volume parameters; 3) Avoiding overfitting by considering an event per candidate predictor rate ≥ 20; 4) Calculating detailed performance measures.

Abstract	Introduction: Due to the high nonadherence rate to posttransplant regimen and medical indications among liver transplant recipients, systematic patient-centered interventions are needed to improve the medium- and long-term graft and patient survival outcomes. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and test the psychometric properties of Liver Transplant Therapeutic Adherence Questionnaire. Design: A mixed-method instrument design was conducted in 3 phases: (1) initial item collection was generated by inductive content analysis on internationally available resources, (2) item screening was carried out by a 3-member committee and 25 domain experts including nurses and physicians aiming to establish content validity, and (3) data were collected from 247 liver transplant recipients in May 2016 for psychometric testing. Results: A total of 221 knowledge statements were extracted as potential adherence assessment items. The qualitative screening phase resulted in top 35 important items. The second screening phase was performed quantitatively by 25 experts (n = 14 nurses, n = 7 gastroenterologists and hepatologists, and n = 4 transplant surgeons). A total of 16 items were associated with statistically significant content validity ratio values (≥0.37) to be included in the final questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a distinct 4-factor structure that was labeled as: daily activities (α = .93), immunization (α = .93), nutrition (α = .92), and major complications (α = .79). Discussion: Our results reveal evidence of acceptable reliability and validity for Liver Transplant Therapeutic Adherence Questionnaire. This instrument makes it possible to measure recipients' therapeutic adherence in both domains of research and practice.
