| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Gene Mutations Associated With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Among Saudi CLL Patients and Treatment Outcomes: A Single-Center Experience. Due to the lack of patients' disease characteristics, gene mutations, and treatment outcomes data among Saudi patients, this study aimed to identify the relation between the gene mutations of CLL and the treatment in King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh. The study included all patients diagnosed with CLL and confirmed by flow cytometry in KAMC, Riyadh, between January 2010 and October 2020. Results The study included 100 CLL patients. Conclusion CLL patients in KAMC, Riyadh, displayed trisomy 12, which is characterized by the worst prognosis of disease status, as the most frequently detected cytogenetic aberration followed by 13q deletion.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Characteristics and one-year outcomes of patients with advanced atrioventricular block in Saudi Arabia: A single-center retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES: To report and describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients with advanced atrioventricular block (AVB) in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: We included consecutive patients who underwent pacemaker implantation at King Khaled University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for advanced AVB, which was defined as second degree type 2 AVB, third degree AVB, and symptomatic atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response. RESULTS: Among 100 patients (median age: 71 males, 51%), 29 (29%) were young patients. Future studies should define the yield of CS evaluation in the Saudi population when international consensus documents are followed.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Development and cultural adaptation of the Saudi pediatric speech intelligibility test. OBJECTIVES: To report the development and administration of the Saudi pediatric speech intelligibility (SPSI) test. METHODS: This study was carried out at King Abdullah Ear Specialist Center, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 2021 and 2023. A pilot study was carried out in 5 regions of Saudi Arabia including 100 normal hearing children aged 7-11 years old, with 20 children from each region. The final test materials were voice-recorded by a native Saudi radio announcer, and a software-based application for administering the SPSI was developed. CONCLUSION: The SPSI test has been developed in an android-based software using the Saudi local dialects.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Characterization of the 12S rRNA Gene Sequences of the Harvester Termite Anacanthotermes ochraceus (Blattodea: Hodotermitidae) and Its Role as A Bioindicator of Heavy Metal Accumulation Risks in Saudi Arabia. In the present study, 100 termite individuals of Anacanthotermes ochraceus were collected from two Saudi Arabian localities with different geoclimatic conditions (Riyadh and Taif). Generally, most measured metals had a significantly high concentration in soil and termites at Taif, except for Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mg, and Ni showing significantly high concentrations at Riyadh.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Association between salivary amylase enzyme activity and obesity in Saudi Arabia. The aimed of the study to assess the relationship between salivary amylase (AMY1) activity and body mass index (BMI) in Saudi male and female adults in Riyadh. This study included a total of 200 (100 individuals who were overweight and obese and 100 who had normal body weight [control individuals]) Saudi participants aged 20 to 50 years old. They were recruited from physical fitness clubs and were school employees in Riyadh City. In conclusion, the Saudi overweight and obese population seems to be at risk of low AMY1, which correlates with their obesity.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Genetic variants of glutathione S-transferase and the risk of acute myeloid leukemia in a Saudi population. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the genetic association of acute myeloid leukemia and glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene polymorphisms in a Saudi population. METHOD: 100 AML cases and 100 healthy controls were recruited from the Riyadh regional hospital. Our findings suggest that the GST gene has no role in the pathogenesis of AML in patients from Saudi Arabia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Epilepsy monitoring units in Saudi Arabia: Where do we stand compared to developed countries? OBJECTIVE: To descriptively assess Epilepsy Monitoring Units (EMUs) and the provided services in Saudi Arabia and compare them based on the geographic region. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, an electronic questionnaire was emailed to all directors of EMUs in Saudi Arabia from July 2013 to January 2016, with constant updates being made by all respondents throughout the period of data collection. There were 11 EMUs in KSA operating in 8 hospitals; 8 (54.5%) EMUs in Riyadh, 2 (18.2%) in Dammam, 2 (18.2%) in Makkah and 1 (9.1%) in Jeddah. Less than 100 patients were monitored annually in 54.5% of the EMUs. CONCLUSION: There are 11 EMUs in Saudi Arabia fully equipped to serve epileptic patients.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia, Riyadh | “Q192R polymorphism in the PON1 gene and familial hypercholesterolemia in a Saudi population. The relationship between the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease has not been studied in Saudi patients. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genetic associations of the Q192R polymorphism in the PON1 gene with FH in Saudi patients. SETTING: Tertiary care center, Riyadh. METHODS: Two hundred Saudi patients were enrolled in this study, including 100 patients with FH and 100 healthy controls, during the period from January 2012 to March 2013. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The strength of association between the Q192R polymorphism and FH in the Saudi population. RESULTS: We confirmed that QR versus QQ (odds ratio [OR]: 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-3.43; P=.03), QR+RR versus QQ (OR: 1.98; 95% CI: 1.13-3.49; P=.01), and R versus Q (OR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.09- 2.59; P=.01) in the Q192R polymorphism were associated with FH in the Saudi population. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the Q192R polymorphism in the PON1 gene is associated with FH in the Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
