Severe Periodontal Disease Increases Acute Myocardial Infarction and Stroke: A 10-Year Retrospective Follow-up Study

H. J. Cho et al.

Summary: After controlling for various confounders, the study found a significant association between severe periodontal disease (SPD) and the incidence of AMI and stroke in the Korean population, particularly with a higher impact on females and adults aged 40 to 59 years. The data confirmed that SPD was causally associated with the new events of AMI and stroke, increasing total AMI events by 4.3%, total stroke events by 1.4%, and total major adverse cardiovascular events by 1.6% in the total Korean population.

Evidence-based urology: importance of relative vs absolute effect

Lambertus P. W. Witte et al.

Summary: In order to effectively apply research evidence, especially the results of clinical trials, to daily patient care, clinicians need to understand the magnitude of treatment benefits and harms, and the ways authors may express that magnitude. Authors may choose to express outcomes using relative, absolute, or a combination of both measures. Absolute effects are more significant for patients in understanding the risk of outcomes when untreated and how treatment can improve that risk.

Reporting only relative effect measures was potentially misleading: some good practices for improving the soundness of epidemiological results

Marco Novelli et al.

Summary: In medical and epidemiological literature, there is a trend towards reporting excessive decimal digits, which may lead to misleading information especially with small relative occurrence measures. It is suggested to use one or two decimal digits for estimating relative risks close to 1, depending on the background absolute rate. Reporting both relative and absolute risk measures is recommended, with the use of more than two decimal digits justified only for high background rates.

Oral Health and Cardiovascular Disease: Mapping Clinical Heterogeneity and Methodological Gaps

M. Aldossri et al.

Summary: The relationship between poor oral health and cardiovascular disease has been extensively studied over the past 25 years, resulting in a broad and heterogeneous field with significant clinical heterogeneity and methodological gaps. There is a need for a universally accepted conceptual framework to define oral health and cardiovascular disease outcomes consistently, and to utilize emerging research methods to enhance the impact of research in this area.
