PROBLEM: Question: Are longer durations of antitumour necrosis factor treatment associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular events in patients with rheumatoid arthritis?

PROBLEM: Question: Are perioperative complications after hemiarthroplasty and total shoulder arthroplasty equivalent?
Answer: Multivariate analysis of patients undergoing TSA or HA in the NSQIP database suggests that patient factors-not the procedure being performed-are significant predictors of major complications. Controlling for patient comorbidities, we found no increased risk of perioperative major complications in patients undergoing TSA compared with HA.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Does collagen-to-smooth muscle ratio help prediction of prognosis after pyeloplasty?
