Abstract Objectives: The Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde−SUS) is the universal public healthcare system of Brazil that maintains a nationwide database of its patients. Our primary objective was to analyze regional and temporal trends, while our secondary goal was to establish correlations between states’ health economy status and their prostate cancer (PCa) epidemiology. Methods: We analyzed Brazil’s nationwide data on prostate cancer (PCa) incidence, mortality, and care gathered between 2013 and 2021 by the Information Technology Department of SUS (DATA-SUS), updated monthly using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) code. Results: In the period,… More >

Abstract The research volume increases at the study rate, causing massive text corpora. Due to these enormous text corpora, we are drowning in data and starving for information. Therefore, recent research employed different text mining approaches to extract information from this text corpus. These proposed approaches extract meaningful and precise phrases that effectively describe the text's information. These extracted phrases are commonly termed keyphrases. Further, these key phrases are employed to determine the different fields of study trends. Moreover, these key phrases can also be used to determine the spatiotemporal trends in the various research fields.… More >

Abstract Objectives: There is limited data on congenital heart disease (CHD) from the lower‐ and middle‐income country. We aim to study the epidemiology of CHD with the specific objective to estimate the birth prevalence, severity, and its trend over time.
Design: A population‐based study with data retrieved from the Pediatric Cardiology Clinical Information System, a clinical registry of acquired and congenital heart dis‐ ease for children.
Setting: State of Johor, Malaysia.
Patients: All children (0‐12 years of age) born in the state of Johor between January 2006 and December 2015.
Intervention: None.
Outcome measure: The birth prevalence, severity, and temporal trend over time.
