The long-term risk reductions associated with use of IMA grafts are not as striking as the 56% to 74% reductions in procedural mortality reported by large clinical databases (23-26), but comparisons of 30-day mortality after CABG may be more susceptible to selection bias.
Sample text:```Trials were considered eligible if they satisfied the following inclusion criteria: (1) RCTs comparing RIC versus no conditioning in patients with AMI; (2) patients were treated by primary PCI or thrombolysis; (3) RIC was induced by intermittent limb ischemia–reperfusion; and (4) trials at least reported one of the following outcome measures, including enzymatic myocardial infarction size as assessed by serum peak creatine```

Sample text:```Eight of the included studies examined the history of changes made to each registry record in order to compare published outcomes with the primary outcome as stated in the registry at either the time of study initiation or prior to completion of enrollment [7, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 31, 36].```

Sample text:```Even though many studies about complications following transpedicular instrumentation have been reported [2, 11, 17, 20], the possibility of adjacent superior facet joint violation that may lead to instability, which can bring about adjacent segmental degeneration, has not been studied in detail.```

Sample text:```The GITT model performs better than an empirical lag-time model [17], however, its predicted profiles tend to underestimate Cmax, which, if consistent, may suggest confounding systematic bias or invalid assumptions.```
