Survival from soft tissue tumors (STTs) has been improved because of the successful treatment. One of the late sequelae in STT survivors is the development of a second malignancy. The present study aimed at quantifying risks for second malignancies in patients with STTs, and risks for second STTs after other primary malignancies. Adjusted standardized incidence ratios (SIRs), calculated from the S
Background and purpose — The nonagenarian (those aged 90 years and older) population is expected to double in the next 20 years. This demographic age quake may have a significant impact on the incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), although current literature provides limited data. We examined death and revision rates, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and bias on patient selection of nonagena

METHODS A nationwide multicenter study including 401 ICH patients surgically treated by craniotomy and evacuation of a spontaneous supratentorial ICH was conducted between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2015.
