Introduction
Dyslipidaemia, affecting approximately 39% of adults worldwide, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Individuals with dyslipidaemia are often prescribed statins, which effectively lower plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Although statins lower LDL-C, emerging evidence suggests that they may counteract the beneficial adaptations to exercise in skeletal muscle mitochondria and whole-body aerobic capacity. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and there is a need for studies investigating how statins influence molecular adaptations to exercise. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the combined effects of statin therapy and focused exercise training on mitochondrial function and whole-body aerobic capacity in people with dyslipidaemia. The untargeted proteomic analysis will be incorporated to provide detailed insights into how statins may affect mitochondrial proteins and other muscle metabolic traits, offering molecular explanations for altered functional readouts at both the muscle and whole-body levels.

Methods and analysis
A total of 100 women and men (aged 40–65 years) diagnosed with dyslipidaemia without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease will be enrolled in this 12-week, double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Participants will be randomised into one of four groups using a block randomisation approach to ensure an allocation ratio of 60:40 for exercise and non-exercise conditions, respectively. The four groups will be: (1) exercise+placebo, (2) exercise+atorvastatin (80 mg/day), (3) atorvastatin (80 mg/day) and (4) placebo. The primary outcome is mitochondrial function, measured by changes in skeletal muscle citrate synthase activity from baseline to post-intervention. Secondary outcomes include whole-body aerobic capacity (VO2peak) and proteomic analyses. Genetic analysis will be conducted to assess the role of genetic polymorphisms in individual responses to statins and exercise.

Ethics and dissemination
The trial has received ethical approval from the Faroe Islands Ethical Committee (2024-10) and adheres to the Declaration of Helsinki and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Results will be published in peer-reviewed international journals.

Trial registration number

Introduction
The first 3 months post partum is a critical transition period for women and families, which is characterised by physical, psychological and social adaptation. The first year post partum is also a critical phase for women’s health, given their physical recovery and adjustment to motherhood. The WHO 2023 recommendations highlight the importance of a postnatal care focus, including maternal health assessment, mental health support, nutritional interventions, postpartum contraceptive use and home care visits. This scoping review aims to map the evidence of the effectiveness of postpartum care on women’s health and quality of life in the Southeast Asia region.

Methods and analysis
This scoping review will be guided by the methodological principles developed by Arksey and O’Malley. This review will also consider observational studies, including cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional studies. For inclusion, studies should be selected for eligibility based on the following criteria: articles investigating the uptake of postpartum women (women who have had childbirth up to 42 days after delivery) in Southeast Asian countries. The search will comprise peer-reviewed articles from 2013 to 2023 from the following electronic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, ProQuest, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. We use both keywords in the title and/or abstract and subject headings as appropriate. We will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Protocols to develop the protocol and use the PRISMA flow diagram to present the results for scoping reviews.

Ethics and dissemination
A scoping review is a novel approach for examining the breadth of literature regarding the connection between the effectiveness of postpartum care and women’s health and quality of life and, as a secondary analysis, does not require ethics approval. The results of this review will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant conferences.

Introduction
Striking the balance in 24-hour movement behaviour (sedentary behaviour, physical activity and sleep) is expected to reduce the risk of a new major cardiovascular event or death (MACE). We aim to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the RISE (Reduce and Interrupt sedentary behaviour using a blended behavioural intervention to Empower people at risk towards sustainable 24-hour movement behaviour change) intervention by improving 24-hour movement behaviour for prevention of MACE and gaining quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in community-dwelling people at risk with a first-ever stroke.

Methods and analysis
This assessor-blinded multicentre randomised controlled trial includes about 1000 participants with a first-ever stroke, of which 752 participants require secondary prevention based on their 24-hour movement behaviour. Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental group (RISE intervention + usual care) or control (usual care) group. RISE is a 15-week blended care intervention: primary care physiotherapists coach people in their home setting using behaviour change techniques and the RISE eCoaching system. This system consists of: (1) an activity monitor, (2) a smartphone application that provides real-time feedback and contains e-learning modules and (3) a monitoring dashboard for the physiotherapist. A close relative of the participant is involved during the intervention to provide social support. The primary outcome is the effectiveness of the RISE intervention regarding the prevention of MACE measured at one year post randomisation using survival analysis comparing the experimental and control groups. Secondary outcomes include cost-effectiveness for MACE prevention and QALYs and changes in 24-hour movement behaviour over time using compositional data analysis.

Ethics and dissemination
Ethical approval is obtained from Medical Ethics Review Committee Utrecht, NedMec NL83940.000.23. Findings will be disseminated through international peer-reviewed journals and conferences. A sustainable 24-hour movement behaviour change is needed to gain long-term benefits of lowering MACE in patients with stroke. The RISE intervention offers this foundation by integrating behaviour change techniques, the RISE eCoaching system, involvement of participatory support and extensively trained RISE physiotherapists. Consequently, the RISE intervention is expected to be (cost-)effective compared with usual care, and hence, this study will offer a foundation for implementing the RISE intervention in standard poststroke care.

Trial registration number
NCT06124248.

Objective
To evaluate the association between the timing of invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) initiation and clinical outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Design
Retrospective analysis of a multicentre registry.

Setting
Data were obtained from the Gulf-Cardiogenic Shock registry, which includes hospitals across six countries in the Middle East.

Participants
1117 patients diagnosed with STEMI and CS. Of these, 672 (60%) required MV and were included in this analysis.

Primary and secondary outcome measures
The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included comparisons of baseline characteristics, Society of Coronary Angiogram and Intervention (SCAI) shock stage, and clinical parameters among groups based on time to MV.

Results
Participants were categorised by time from shock diagnosis to MV: early (≤15 min), intermediate (30 min) and late (≥60 min). Median times were 15 min (IQR 10–20), 30 min (IQR 25–35) and 60 min (IQR 45–70), respectively. Baseline characteristics were comparable across groups. Increased delay in MV was associated with a higher mortality risk during the first 60 min post-diagnosis, beyond which the risk plateaued. Delayed MV was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.36 to 3.38, p

Introduction
Cervical cancer is a major global health issue. The standard treatment for locally advanced disease involves radiochemotherapy followed by uterovaginal brachytherapy (UBT). UBT requires several days of hospitalisation and strict bed rest. UBT often induces pain, anxiety, stress, distress and a decline in physical capacity during and after treatment. Previous research suggests that non-pharmacological interventions, such as yoga, may help alleviate these issues. However, few studies have specifically evaluated their effectiveness in reducing stress during UBT. Furthermore, patient education has been shown to facilitate autonomous practice and to improve patient empowerment. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the KYOCOL protocol, which integrates both a physiotherapy-yoga intervention and an educational programme, on perceived stress and its correlates in patients undergoing UBT.

Methods and analysis
KYOCOL is an ongoing randomised, prospective trial carried out in three French comprehensive cancer centres, using a quantitative approach complemented by a qualitative component. Eighty patients are planned to be randomised (1:1) into a control arm (standard care) or an intervention arm. In the intervention arm, patients will be educated and supervised by a trained physiotherapist in a physiotherapy-yoga programme and will then perform daily autonomous sessions during UBT and for up to 15 days post-treatment. The primary objective is to assess the impact of the KYOCOL intervention compared with standard care during UBT, on perceived stress 15 days post-UBT, using the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale. Secondary objectives include evaluating the safety of the intervention, its effects on stress, pain and fatigue during UBT, and patient adherence to the programme. Qualitative analyses based on semistructured interview surveys will be conducted to gather valuable information and analyse in depth patients’ experiences with the intervention and UBT.

Ethics and dissemination
This study was approved by the French ethics committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes Ouest V, reference number 2023-A01491-44) on 22 February 2024 and will be carried out in accordance with the good clinical practice guidelines and the Declaration of Helsinki. The results will be shared with patients and healthcare professionals and published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Introduction
Molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is a qualitative developmental defect of the enamel with a complex, multifactorial nature and a significant genetic component. Individuals with MIH have a compromised stomatognathic system manifested by muscle hyperactivity under postural and dynamic conditions. However, there is a gap in knowledge on the specific functional abnormalities that these individuals experience. Early identification and intervention, with a focus on the prevention of orofacial dysfunctions and deviations in facial growth and development, are aspects of the utmost importance. Therefore, the aim of the proposed study is to perform a comparative analysis of orofacial functions with an emphasis on breathing and chewing patterns in individuals with and without MIH. The secondary objective is to assess whether dentin hypersensitivity and the severity of MIH lesions are associated with alterations in orofacial functions.

Methods and analysis
Assessments will be performed using the Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (NOT-S). Descriptive analyses will characterise the sample. The Shapiro-Wilk test will assess normality. For normally distributed data, analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc test will be used. For non-normal data, the Mann-Whitney U test will be applied. The 2 test will analyse categorical variables and compare NOT-S domains between groups. Potential confounders (eg, age, sex, socioeconomic status) will be controlled through stratification or as covariates. Logistic and Poisson regressions will model associations for categorical and count-based outcomes, respectively. Statistical significance will be set at p

Objective
Surgical site infections (SSI) after hysterectomy constitute significant postoperative complications, affecting patient recovery and healthcare costs. We conducted a systematic review of risk factors for SSI in patients undergoing hysterectomy.

Design
The current study conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to identify and summarise risk factors for SSI following hysterectomy.

Data sources
PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched through 1 November 2023.

Eligibility criteria
The inclusion criteria were (1) population: female participants who had post-hysterectomy SSI; (2) intervention: hysterectomy surgeries; (3) comparators: the number of participants who had or had not post-hysterectomy SSI; (4) outcomes: the number of participants exposed and not exposed to the risk factors of SSI. The exclusion criteria were (1) non-English studies and (2) studies that provided insufficient data.

Data extraction and synthesis
Two reviewers conducted the screening process independently. Articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded. For those that met the criteria, full-text papers were procured. Any discrepancies between the reviewers were resolved through discussion. The meta-analysis synthesised risk factors reported in ≥4 datasets via random-effects models, assessing heterogeneity, sensitivity (leave-one-out), publication bias (Egger’s test/funnel plots) and subgroup analyses (incision types).

Results
Blood transfusion emerged as the largest risk factor (OR=2.55, 95% CI (1.84, 3.56)), followed by tumour presence (OR=2.23, 95% CI (1.86, 2.66)), obesity (OR=1.79, 95% CI (1.43, 2.23)), diabetes (OR=1.70, 95% CI (1.26, 2.29)) and tobacco use (OR=1.43, 95% CI (1.26, 1.63)). The ORs varied by incision type.

Conclusions
The study establishes blood transfusion, tumour presence, obesity, diabetes and tobacco use as significant risk factors for SSI after hysterectomy, with variations in risk evident across different incision types. The findings also suggest vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomies as preferable alternatives to abdominal hysterectomy in mitigating SSI risk. Future research should aim for more granular data to untangle the interplay between comorbidities and further elucidate the differential risk across SSI types.

Introduction
Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) can be a useful treatment for restoring vein patency quickly, especially for extensive acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, previous evidence failed to validate the effectiveness of PMT in reducing the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). To address this controversy, the reformation study aims to improve rheolytic thrombectomy for acute DVT of the lower limb through primary popliteal vein thrombosis clearance.

Method and analysis
Reformation is a prospective randomised multicentre trial. It has 160 patients in two groups: the modified access group (80 patients) and the traditional access group (80 patients). The purpose of this study is to assess whether the modified access approach for removing inflow thrombus in a one-stage procedure is more effective in enhancing the success rate of the procedure and reducing the incidence of PTS during a 24-month follow-up period, for patients with acute whole limb DVT.

Ethics and dissemination
The reformation study has been registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov. The study protocol has been approved by the Institutional Review Board and Human Research Ethics Committee of Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (approved number: KY2021-067-A). The results will be disseminated by publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

To the Editor We read with interest the study by Bond et al. The CAIRO5 randomized clinical trial has important implications for the post hoc analysis of initially unresectable colorectal cancer metastases (CRLM). It provides valuable treatment effectiveness data that can guide clinicians to optimize strategies to achieve better patient outcomes. After carefully reading, we wish to put forth the following suggestions.

Hospital-based recommendations for opioid use disorder (OUD) include offering evidence-based medications for OUD (MOUD) with post–hospital OUD treatment linkage. Hospitalization presents an ideal opportunity to initiate MOUD among out-of-treatment adults with OUD, yet only 5% of patients with an OUD-related hospitalization receive MOUD despite their increasing numbers. Innovative care models, including addiction consultation services and hospital-to-community treatment engagement strategies, optimize hospital-based OUD treatment provision and OUD treatment linkage. Clinical benefits of an addiction consultation service include greater likelihood of MOUD treatment initiation and post–hospital discharge OUD treatment linkage and a reduced risk of 30-day rehospitalization. There are also operational and educational benefits for hospitals and staff.

This cross-sectional study assesses the prevalence of incomplete team staffing in the post–COVID-19 pandemic health care landscape and its association with burnout and work intentions among US physicians.

Objective
To assess the appropriateness, acceptability and feasibility of implementing the Test-it PrCr Urinalysis Dipstick Test (LifeAssay Diagnostics, South Africa) in referral hospitals in Ghana.

Participants
96 healthcare professionals were trained on the protein-to-creatinine (PrCr) test, which was integrated into protocols alongside standard-of-care tests between November 2021 and April 2022. Test users completed questionnaires post training. Three focus group discussions (FGDs) and seven key informant interviews were conducted to evaluate test procedure comprehension, insights into training effectiveness, usability/user confidence, perceptions, attitudes towards the test and barriers and facilitators of use.

Results
High product usability, user confidence and satisfaction were reported. Staff perceived the test as easy to use and similar to current products. Misinterpretations of test results were less likely for strong results. Facilitators of use included effective trainings, sensitisation of the product and key stakeholder endorsement. Challenges impacting implementation feasibility included the short shelf life of test strips (3 months) after opening cannisters, the added complexity of the ratiometric result interpretation and the test’s lack of other parameters that are included in current products (eg, glucose, nitrate), limiting its broader clinical utility for antenatal care screening. All FGD participants agreed that the use of the PrCr test would not change current practices/protocols for dipstick use.

Conclusion
Although the Test-It PrCr test is easy to use and well accepted, key product attributes limit its implementation feasibility in this setting. It may be more appropriate for monitoring high-risk women in this context.
