| population | Saudi Arabia | “Camp-based entertainment rehabilitation for young people with down syndrome in Saudi Arabia. This study examined cultural appropriateness, and impact of a camp-based entertainment rehabilitation programme for young people with DS in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: This study was implemented with 11 participants (aged 17-23 years) attending an 11-day residential camp in Al-Baha. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study demonstrate that entertainment-based rehabilitation can be effective in enhancing QoL among young people with DS within a culturally grounded Saudi context. This pilot study highlights the potential of leisure-focused rehabilitation to promote inclusion, family well-being, and social participation, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030's Quality of Life goals.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Composition of the gut microbiota in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in Saudi Arabia: A pilot study.

METHODS: After obtaining an informed consent, fecal samples were collected from 11 participants with IBD (patients) and 10 healthy individuals (controls). The aim of the study was to investigate the composition of the gut microbiome of Saudi patients with IBD.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Identification and Characterization of Novel Mutations in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) in Saudi Subjects by Whole-Exome Sequencing. Objectives: This study investigated the genetic basis and the undiscovered genes that are involved in ADPKD development among the Saudi population. Materials and Methods: In this study, 11 patients with chronic kidney disease were enrolled. Results: Of the 11 Saudi patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ADPKD, the most common heterozygote nonsynonymous variant in the PKD1 gene was exon15: (c.4264G > A). The median age of end-stage renal disease for ADPK patients in Saudi Arabia was 30 years. Conclusion: This study reported a common variant in the PKD1 gene in Saudi patients with typical ADPKD. This study establishes that the reported mutations in the affected genes resulted in ADPKD development in the Saudi population by a median age of 30.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

| population | Saudi Arabia | “BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Clinical, laboratory and outcome data were reviewed for pediatric patients who were diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and managed at two tertiary care hospitals in Saudi Arabia, between January 2011 and December 2017 to assess the response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) focusing on the monitoring of BCR-ABL fusion gene transcript levels and to look at the overall outcome. Response rate to imatinib in terms of achieving MMR as first-line therapy was achieved in five out of 11 patients (45.5%) and only three of them continued to maintain their MMR.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is quite common in eastern Saudi Arabia and Avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH) occurs in 30% of the young patients leading to early joint arthroplasty.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Molecular genetics report from Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to determine congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with the pattern of CYP21A2 gene-mutations in Saudi children. METHODS: Between January 2011 and March 2014 at King Fahad Military Complex, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, we thoroughly examined 11 patients with CAH and 2 asymptomatic individuals with a history of affected siblings.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “We are reporting a case of MNGIE from Saudi Arabia, who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. No MNGIE case has been previously reported from Saudi Arabia or the Gulf Arab countries. From the available literature, so far only 11 patients with MNGIE have undergone stem cell transplantation.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

This is the first study reporting the barcodes of Houbara Bustard and would be helpful in future molecular studies, particularly for the conservation of this threatened bird in Saudi Arabia.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |

| population | Saudi Arabia | “Twelve Saudi children are presented, all of whom satisfied the international criteria for the classification of Behçet's disease and whose initial manifestations appeared at or before the age of 16 years. Oral ulcers were present in all patients (100%), genital ulcers in 11 patients (91%), ocular involvement in the form of anterior and/or posterior uveitis in 6 patients (50%), skin manifestations in 10 patients (83%), musculoskeletal symptoms in 9 patients (75%), and central nervous system involvement in 6 patients (50%). This report of juvenile Behçet's disease in Saudi children suggests that this multisystem disease has an aggressive nature and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of childhood vasculitis in endemic areas.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
