Effective Government Strategies to Deal With Climate Change Impacts in the West Papua Region: Budget Optimization for Mitigation and Adaptation
Authors: Wurarah Rully Novie , Mulyanto Mulyanto
Published: December 2024

Climate change is a global challenge that significantly impacts various environmental, economic, and social sectors. In the West Papua region, the effects of climate change are increasingly being felt, especially in the agriculture, fisheries, and local ecosystem sustainability sectors. Local governments play an important role in developing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies to face this challenge. This research aims to analyze the budget optimization strategies used by local governments to address the impacts of climate change in the region. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to examine local government policies on climate change. Data were obtained through focus group discussions with government officials, analysis of policy documents, and analysis of budget data. The Miles and Huberman interactive model was used in the analysis, which involved data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed significant budget allocations for climate change mitigation and adaptation changes between 2023 and 2024. The budget for mitigation decreased by 39.70%, while the budget for adaptation increased by 62.86%. The decrease in the mitigation budget reflects efficiencies that have been achieved or changes in priorities. In contrast, the increase in the adaptation budget indicates an increased focus on community and infrastructure resilience to climate change impacts. Priority action plans identified in this study include strengthening climate-resilient infrastructure, water and waste management, renewable energy development, increasing community capacity and participation, diversifying funding sources, and technology development and application. Recommendations for local governments emphasize the importance of continuous evaluation, inclusive policy development, collaboration with the private sector, and increased public awareness and participation in dealing with climate change.

Samorządy lokalne poddawane są w ostatnich latach szczególnej presji, związanej z koniecznością rewizji gminnej polityki rozwoju oraz aktualizacji strategii rozwoju gminy pod kątem nowych wyzwań i wymagań prawnych. W latach 2020 i 2023 wprowadzono w Polsce ustawy inicjujące reformę, której celem jest integracja systemu planowania strategicznego i systemu planowania przestrzennego m.in. na poziomie lokalnym. W artykule przedstawiono kluczowe zmiany przepisów, odnoszące się do strategii rozwoju gminy, oraz wynikające z tego wyzwania, związane z prowadzeniem gminnej polityki przestrzennej. W tym kontekście, ocenie poddano stan aktualności strategii rozwoju gmin w Miejskim Obszarze Funkcjonalnym Warszawy. Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że integracja wymiaru społeczno-gospodarczego i przestrzennego na poziomie lokalnym przebiega powoli, przez co samorządy mogą nie być odpowiednio przygotowane do uwarunkowań prawnych, obowiązujących od 2026 r.

Sarcastic Utterances in the Novel Series Nevermoor
Authors: Prastiwi Umi Denta , Munandar Aris
Published: December 2024

This study investigates sarcastic utterances used in the novel series Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend. The novels consist of Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow (2017), Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow (2018), and Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow (2020). The data for the research were taken from the characters’ dialogues containing sarcastic utterances in the three novels. By applying the descriptive qualitative method, the research aims to classify sarcastic utterances using the theory proposed by Camp (2011): propositional sarcasm, illocutionary sarcasm, lexical sarcasm, and like-prefixed sarcasm. There are 75 data with the four types of sarcastic utterances, including propositional sarcasm (62.67%), illocutionary sarcasm (26.67%), lexical sarcasm (8%), and like-prefixed sarcasm (2.67%). The research also aims to identify negative emotions as triggers for each type of sarcastic utterance using the theory proposed by Vikan (2017): anger, disgust, contempt, sadness, fear, shame, and guilt. The novels contain these negative emotions, except guilt. The type of sarcastic utterance frequently used in the novels is propositional sarcasm. Meanwhile, like-prefixed sarcasm has the most minor occurrence compared to the others. Even though propositional sarcasm and illocutionary sarcasm contain several negative emotions as triggers, lexical sarcasm and like-prefixed sarcasm only have one each.

Published: December 2024

Resumen:The difficult appendicular stump does not currently have a standard management protocol, there is still no agreed definition for this presentation, among its most frequent complications there is appendicitis of the stump, so the surgeon must know the different types of stump closure including advantages, disadvantages and costs related to the use of the different devices, since it must be easily applicable and cost effective. This leads to decrease the morbidity and mortality of the patient associated with this pathology and increase its availability in centers with limited resources. We present the case of a patient with no significant history, who attended the emergency department with abdominal pain plus clinical and paraclinical signs suggestive of acute appendicitis. Surgical management was performed with an open appendectomy due to the unavailability of laparoscopy with surgical findings of an ultrashort cecal appendix, and finally closure was made with a tobacco bag suture.

Teaching with the Window Open: Notes on a Pedagogy between the Mundane and the Catastrophic
Authors: Saleh Elizabeth
Published: December 2024

In this reflexive essay about teaching, I reflect upon the political space anthropology might hold in Lebanon, a country positioned at a continuum between so-called normalcy and catastrophe. What does it mean to teach in a context where there is a jarring disparity between a mundaneness, an almost banality to the everyday, and severe, often life-threatening interruptions? Where do political possibilities go in the process? What is recuperated? What is left to burn? I will use these questions as a starting point from which to reflect on the politics of teaching and learning anthropology during times of catastrophe. The emphasis being on the kinds of meaning ascribed to the learning process at a time when people, in a country such as Lebanon, live almost continuously within and in the aftermath of one catastrophe or another. How then is anthropology, as a discipline, as a way of learning and viewing the world, configured into these webs of significance?

Deluged Fieldsites, Traumatised Selves: Environmental Trauma and Its Implications for Disaster Research in Anthropology
Authors: Kotsira Eleni
Published: December 2024

What can the contribution of anthropologists be when working with communities facing post-disaster trauma? What are the role, responsibilities and – equally important – needs of the anthropologist in a post-disaster site? What are the processes for conducting fieldwork when a disaster hits and the ethics of researching a community struggling with its wellbeing?This paper addresses these questions based on ethnographic material gathered during and in the wake of an unforeseen deluge that hit Samothráki, a remote island in NE Greece, in September 2017. I am employing two quite different types of data, responses to an online survey and (auto)ethnographic observations, to discuss the experience of post-traumatic stress following a disaster, as this was expressed in private and public spaces. Instead of pathologising trauma and treating people as its passive recipients, the concept of ‘environmental trauma’ is introduced as a dynamic, formative process through which disaster survivors resituate themselves and consider their way forward in a future of climate crisis. The paper also raises important ethical issues related to conducting research in a site and/or with people affected by a disaster, and concludes with providing three key recommendations for a trauma- and disaster-informed anthropological research, particularly useful for teaching and training.

Recommendation on OECM assessment: Consider including the level of fragmentation of the larger territorial unit
Authors: Riviere Stephane , Altuna Joseba
Published: December 2024

To meet the objectives of the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) Target 3 to effectively conserve and manage at least 30 per cent of terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine areas by 2030, the number of high-quality sites that are important for biodiversity will need to increase. Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) are increasingly recognised globally and are expected to play a significant role towards meeting GBF Target 3. Following a decision adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2018, the assessment of new OECM candidate sites can be achieved by applying an IUCN site-level tool published in 2023 based on eight criteria. The criteria do not specify a minimum size for OECM candidate sites. Here we suggest that the CBD Parties consider a metric on the fragmentation level of an OECM candidate site's larger territorial unit to help define the minimum size of this site, and we apply the metric to a case study in the EU. We believe this would be a realistic and practical approach and would give incentives for CBD Parties to assess potential new OECM sites even in highly fragmented territorial units.

Published: December 2024

Effective management of protected areas (PAs) is essential for ensuring long-term sustainability and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In this study, we assess the management effectiveness of select PAs in Malaysia using the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT). The METT scores were analysed for sites across different IUCN management categories (Categories I, II and V). The analysis determined the variations in the overall METT scores and element scores within and across each management category. Common strengths and weaknesses in the management of the sites were identified across the PAs as well as the most common and major threats across these sites which were 'biological resource use and harm' and 'natural system modifications', respectively. Based on the findings, strategies are proposed to improve the overall management effectiveness and subsequently, the METT scores, including with enhanced research and monitoring and robust stakeholder engagement. The findings underscore the importance of robust management frameworks and continuous monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of PA management.
Increased COX6A2 promotes pancreatic β-cell apoptosis and is suppressed in diabetic GK rats after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

Published: December 2024

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been shown to inhibit β-cell apoptosis, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A2 (COX6A2) is expressed in β-cells. Here, we sought to investigate the role of COX6A2 in β-cell apoptosis, especially following RYGB. We found that RYGB significantly reduced β-cell apoptosis, accompanied by decreased COX6A2 expression in islets from diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. It is noteworthy that overexpression of COX6A2 promoted β-cell apoptosis, whereas COX6A2 deficiency suppressed it, suggesting the pro-apoptotic role of COX6A2 in β-cells. Mechanistically, increased COX6A2 interacted with and upregulated the expression of cyclophilin D (CypD), facilitating the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to the cytoplasm, thereby promoting β-cell apoptosis. Furthermore, high-glucose-activated ChREBP epigenetically regulated COX6A2 expression by recruiting histone acetyltransferase p300 to augment histone H3 acetylation at the Cox6a2 promoter, a process inhibited by GLP-1 signaling. Given that RYGB enhances GLP-1 signaling, RYGB is likely to deactivate ChREBP by boosting GLP-1/PKA signaling, thereby reducing COX6A2 expression in islets from GK rats. These findings highlight the crucial role of the GLP-1/PKA/ChREBP axis-controlled COX6A2 in β-cell apoptosis, revealing a previously unrecognized mechanism underlying the reduction in β-cell apoptosis induced by RYGB.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To compare the vascular effects of pursuing more versus less glucose lowering in patients with younger or older age at diabetes diagnosis, and with shorter or longer diabetes duration.

Research Design and Methods: We studied 11,138 participants from the ADVANCE trial, classified into subgroups defined by age at diabetes diagnosis (≤50, >50-60, >60 years) and diabetes duration (≤5, >5-10, >10 years).

Results: Intensive glucose lowering significantly lowered the risk of the primary composite outcome of major macrovascular and microvascular events (hazard ratio 0.90, 95% CI 0.82-0.98) with no evidence of heterogeneity in the proportional effects across subgroups defined by age at diagnosis or diabetes duration (p for heterogeneity=0.86 and 0.47, respectively). Similar consistent treatment effects were also observed for all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and the components of major vascular events.

Conclusions: Intensive glucose lowering may be recommended irrespective of age at diagnosis or diabetes duration.

Alien plant invasions have been systematically studied for more than half a century and we already have extensive scientific evidence of their negative role in the current biodiversity decline. Here we aim to draw attention to expansive plants, i.e. native plant species that exhibit similar ecological behaviour to invasive alien plants, being promoted by recent environmental changes. Some of them can also have various negative impacts on native plant communities and ecosystems. However, they have been much less studied than alien species. Our goal was to create an up-to-date catalogue of expansive species (including aggregates or subspecies where needed) in the Czech Republic, compare their functional traits and ecological strategies with non-expansive native species and provide a list of regions and habitats where they spread. We conducted a questionnaire survey, asking local experts to evaluate the expansive character of preselected species in 17 regions and 27 broadly defined habitat types (66 regional assessments). We critically revised these data and verified the distribution patterns. In total, we identified 126 expansive taxa (116 species, eight species aggregates and two subspecies, for simplicity referred to as species) from 43 families. The most represented were Poaceae (27 species, i.e. 21%, while only 7% in the native flora), Asteraceae (10 species; 8%) and Rosaceae (10; 8%). Our list comprises a heterogeneous group of plants, which tend to be taller and are more frequently polycarpic perennials than the non-expansive native species of the Czech flora. The highest numbers of expansive species were reported at middle elevations. Thirteen species were considered expansive in all regions: Aegopodium podagraria, Alopecurus pratensis, Anthriscus sylvestris, Artemisia vulgaris, Betula pendula, Calamagrostis epigejos, Dactylis glomerata, Elymus repens, Phalaris arundinacea, Poa trivialis, Rumex obtusifolius, Trifolium pratense and Urtica dioica. Expansive species were most frequently found in anthropogenic habitats, both non-forest (99 species) and woodlands (including plantations and clearings; 73), as well as in mesophilic meadows and pastures (64) and wet meadows (60). We hope that the presented list of expansive plants will trigger further research on them and their potential impacts on plant communities and other biota.

Problema: Este estudio aborda la importante cuestión de si los niveles de vitamina D tienen un impacto significativo en la infección y mortalidad por COVID-19, especialmente desde una perspectiva de enfermería. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sistemática, centrada en estudios clínicos y de investigación clínica publicados entre 2021 y 2023 en revistas de enfermería. Se utilizaron dos bases de datos: Scopus y PubMed, en castellano e inglés, aplicando criterios de inclusión como "ensayo clínico" y "investigación clínica" y exclusión para seleccionar artículos relevantes. Resultados: Se identificaron inicialmente 182 artículos, de los cuales se retuvieron 111 tras aplicar criterios de inclusión. Estos estudios se categorizaron en cuatro grupos: un 24% de los estudios no encontraron asociación significativa, un 19% relacionó el COVID-19 con bajos niveles de vitamina D, un 28% sugirió un efecto beneficioso de la vitamina D en la reducción de la infección y/o mortalidad, y un 29% afirmó que existe tal efecto beneficioso, pero enfatizó la necesidad de más investigaciones. Un análisis estadístico mediante una prueba de chi-cuadrado no reveló diferencias significativas entre estas categorías, lo que sugiere que no se puede establecer que unas conclusiones estén más marcadas que otras. Sin embargo, si es que se agrupa sugieren un efecto beneficioso y la necesidad de más investigaciones, se obtiene un significativo 57% favorable al empleo de vitamina D en el cuidado de pacientes con COVID-19. Conclusión: Este estudio destaca la complejidad de la relación entre la vitamina D y el COVID-19, subrayando la necesidad de investigaciones adicionales para obtener conclusiones más definitivas. Los hallazgos tienen implicaciones significativas para el campo de la enfermería, ya que una mejor comprensión de esta relación podría influir en la prevención y tratamiento del COVID-19.
Associations Between Teachers’ Attitudes Toward the Final Exam in the Norwegian Language Arts Subject and Washback: A Survey Among Norwegian Secondary Teachers
Authors: Eriksen Harald , Gourvennec Aslaug Fodstad , Rønneberg Vibeke , Blikstad-Balas Marte
Published: December 2024

The issue of washback effects from tests on instruction has been extensively investigated. The nature and extent of washback depend on many factors, some of which are related to teachers and exams. Work to redesign the national written exams in Norwegian Language Arts (NLA) for secondary school began in 2020, placing the issue of washback effects from exams on teachers’ instruction and assessment on the agenda. However, there is no systematic knowledge about the extent and nature of washback from the current exams. The present study reports on a survey of NLA teachers in lower- and upper-secondary school (N = 508) by investigating the washback effects they perceive and their attitudes toward the existing exams, as well as exploring how perceived washback and attitudes are related using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that, as regards instruction, teachers believe there is a washback effect from the NLA exams. This effect on instruction is strongly associated with teachers’ attitudes toward the exams. In contrast, the association between the teachers’ attitudes and the washback they perceive on their own formal assessment practices is rather weak in numerical terms.

Published: December 2024

This research aims at using appropriate learning models to help students avoid misconceptions and help students construct new knowledge through appropriate learning models. The method used is a systematic literature review taken from national journals and international journals. Search for library sources in this article via Google, SagePub, Science Direct, Emerald Insight, Hindawi, Springer, Taylor and Francis, and Wiley databases for 2013-2024. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the concept learning model is a learning model that has the view that students are not only required to be able to form concepts through classifying data, but they must also be able to form concepts using their own abilities. By using the concept learning model in the learning process, it is hoped that students' understanding of concepts will increase. The concept learning model is designed to teach concepts and help students more effectively learn the concepts of the material they are studying so that it can significantly help them in the process of improving their learning outcomes. This model is an efficient method of presenting structured and planned information from a wide range of topics for students at every level of development.

A work desk is a piece of furniture used in the daily life of an employee in an office. Work desks require a large enough space for computers, laptops, and writing, offices located in large buildings have no problem in the size of the room for a special work desk but offices located at home cannot provide enough space for work desks because of the narrow space, therefore home offices use small minimalist desks to save space. To answer the lack of a narrow home office workspace, a multifunctional work desk product was designed that can save space. The making of this multifunctional table is intended to help in work, especially in home offices because of its simple design and smaller dimensions that save space and are easy to move.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the complex relationship between unemployment and violence in Ecuador for 2019–2022, using HJ Biplot analysis to uncover the underlying socio-economic and criminological dynamics. The study reveals a nuanced relationship between unemployment and different types of violence. While unemployment is significantly associated with homicides and murders, the association with femicides and hired assassinations is much weaker. Significant regional and temporal patterns and changes like violence are also observed, highlighting the need for dynamic and adaptive strategies. Exceptions in certain provinces, where patterns of violence and unemployment differ from the rest, highlight the importance of local approaches to policymaking.

The aim of this study was to analyze scientific production on accounting strategies for the management of sporting events over the last 20 years. The methodology used was mixed, combining the quantitative perspective of bibliometric analysis and the qualitative perspective of the case study, to deepen the analysis of the data set. Using bibliometrics, the number of scientific papers on this topic was quantified. For the study, 853 papers from Scopus and Google Scholar were considered that met the inclusion criteria in terms of relevance and keywords in English (accounting strategies, financial strategies and sporting events). Between 2021 and 2024, scientific production increased significantly (n = 376; 44.1%), with the United States being the largest contributor, with 21.7%. In addition, Plos One was the most important source, with 22 publications. The most cited author was Crawford (333 citations). Most of the publications (81%) were scientific articles, with 37% focused on medicine and 12% focused on social sciences. It is concluded that the literature on accounting strategies for sport event management has been the subject of research, with a wide variety of authors, topics, countries, and resources in general. Thus, financial planning, cost control, proper revenue recognition, tax compliance, all these strategies enable the organization of a sporting event to be profitable, efficient and sustainable. As a result, there is a complete picture of the global influence, perception and importance of research on this topic, which lays the groundwork for future research in this field. The value of the research lies in its ability to provide evidence-based solutions to improve the financial efficiency and sustainability of sporting events.

Authors: Zanella Giovanni , Schmidt Jandir Ademar
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar as dimensões da responsabilidade civil e criminal do doxxing, compreendendo suas ramificações legais e sociais. Os objetivos específicos incluem analisar os fundamentos legais da responsabilidade civil do doxxing, avaliar as implicações criminais desta prática sob a legislação brasileira, identificar os principais impactos psicossociais nas vítimas, e identificar medidas preventivas e estratégias legais para mitigar o doxxing. Metodologicamente a pesquisa classifica como dedutiva, descritiva e bibliográfica. Conclui-se que o doxxing viola a privacidade e tem consequências graves para as vítimas, exigindo uma abordagem multidisciplinar para prevenção e combate. Apesar da escassez de estudos, percebe-se a urgência de debates doutrinários, jurisprudenciais e legislativos para enfrentar esse problema, garantindo a proteção dos direitos fundamentais no ambiente digital. A ausência de diretrizes claras pode enfraquecer os mecanismos de prevenção e combate ao abuso digital, expondo os usuários a riscos cada vez maiores de violação da privacidade e danos emocionais. Portanto, é essencial promover um diálogo interdisciplinar para desenvolver políticas e estratégias adequadas para proteger os cidadãos online.
PULMONARY HYPERTENSION SEVERITY IS NOT A LIMIT FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE MITRAL VALVE SURGERY: RESULTS OF A MULTICENTRIC OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

Published: December 2024

Background and Aim:

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is diagnosed in 40-70% of patients undergoing mitral valve (MV) surgery. Little is known regarding the outcomes of MV patients with PH receiving minimally invasive surgery. This study compares characteristics and in- hospital outcomes of patients undergoing minimally invasive MV surgery, stratified by systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAPs).

Methods:

This multi-centre retrospective-prospective observational study included adults undergoing MV operations through right mini-thoracotomy with/without tricuspid valve (TV) surgery and atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation between 2020 and 2024. Comparison were performed between patients with PAPs< 31 mmHg, PAPs 31-55 mmHg, and PAPs>55mmHg based on EuroSCORE II cut-offs for PAPs categories.

Results:

This analysis included 1121 patients (females: 47.5%; median age: 69 years, interquartile range, IQR [59-77]). The median PAPs was 38 mmHg (IQR [30-50]; PAPs<31: n=307, 27.4%; PAPs 31-55: n=152, 55.3%; PAPs>55: n=194, 17.3%). Patients with higher PAPs were older, mainly female, and characterized by more comorbidities including atrial fibrillation and renal disease. A critical perioperative state was diagnosed in 12% of patients with PAPs > 55 mmHg (p<0.001). Patients with higher PAPs underwent more frequently mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty and experienced more postoperative dialysis and pacemaker implantation but comparable rates of respiratory and bleeding complications, and in-hospital mortality (PAPs<31: n=3, 1%; PAPs 31-55: n=6, 1%; PAPs>55: n=5, 2.6%; p=0.222) compared to patients with lower PAPs.

Conclusions:

Despite a higher pre-operative complexity, patients with PH could be considered for minimally invasive MV surgery with no increased risks of major intra- or post-operative complications regardless of their PAPs values.

Authors: Lodo V. , Barbero C. , Weltert L. , Onorati F. , Stefano P. , De Paulis R. , Centofanti P. , Rinaldi M.
Published: December 2024

Background and Aim:

underweight and obese patients represent an unquestionable challenge for cardiac surgeons. To date only few reports analyze the relationship between patient BMI and minimally invasive mitral valve (MIMV) surgery outcomes. Aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of BMI on patients undergoing MIMV surgery

Methods:

data of consecutive patients undergoing MIMV surgery at 7 high-volume cardiac surgery centers experienced in MIMV surgery were collected. Both MIMV repair or replacement were considered as well as combined procedure. 30-day mortality was defined as the primary end-point. To make a meaningful comparison a propensity score matching was performed

Results:

1692 patients were enrolled. 1463 (86%) were normal weight, 153 (9%) patients were obese and 76 (5%) patients were underweight. Before matching, both underweight and obese patients showed a higher risk profile at surgery when compared to normal weight patients (higher rate of CKD, COPD, previous cardiac surgery and lower EF). Underweight patients showed a higher rate of re-intubation and blood transfusion, while obese patients showed a higher ICU and in-hospital LOS and a higher 30-day mortality. After matching no significant differences were reported in terms of 30-day mortality and post-procedural complications.

Conclusion:

MIMV surgery seems to be a safe and feasible approach in underweight and obese patients too. A high expertise in MIMV surgery and optimal pre-operative planning are mandatory to achieve these results
COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF SUBVALVULAR PROCEDURE VERSUS ISOLATED ANNULOPLASTY IN MITRAL VALVE REPAIR: A META- ANALYSIS ON MORTALITY AND MITRAL REGURGITATION RECURRENCE
Authors: Giambuzzi I. , Messi P. , Maccarana A. , Di Mauro M. , Bonalumi G.
Published: December 2024

Introduction:

The aim of this meta-analysis is to identify if adding subvalvular procedure (SVP) in mitral valve repair in functional mitral regurgitation (MR) improves the result in contrast to isolated annuloplasty (AN).

Methods:

A literature search in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov covered January 2010 to August 2024, focusing on ischemic and functional mitral disease, mitral valve repair, and surgical techniques. Inclusion criteria followed PRISMA guidelines with the primary objective to compare early and late mortality and MR recurrence. Screening involved independent assessments with a PRISMA flowchart. Bias was evaluated with ROBINS-E, quality with the modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale, and heterogeneity with I2 statistics, controlling for high-quality studies only as sensitivity analysis.

Results:

A total of 1904 papers were found with a traditional research and 164 with the Umbrella research. After screening, 14 studies were included, for a total of 999 patients, of which 519 (51.95%) underwent AN and 480 (48.05%) underwent adjunctive SVP. There was no difference in early mortality (OR 0.91, CI95% 0.46-1.8, p=0.87, I2=0), in late mortality (OR 1.24, CI95% -0.17-0.60, p=0.28, I2=0) nor post operative complications (OR 0.7, CI95% 0.35- 1.39, p=0.3035, I2= 70.63) but in the SVP group there was a significant reduction in MR recurrence with OR 0.48, CI95% 0.33-0.71, p = 0.0002, I2=0. No publication bias was found, even if 9 studies (64.29%) showed high risk of bias with ROBINS-E tool.

Conclusions:

SVP are associated with lower rates of MR recurrence, without modifying mortality nor immediate post-operative complications.
