Comparison of early postoperative activity-related pain burden after conventional, navigation-assisted, and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study based on 24-72 h pain area under the curve

This retrospective cohort study of 169 patients found that while both navigation-assisted and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty reduced early movement-related pain compared to conventional techniques, robotic-assisted surgery demonstrated the lowest cumulative pain burden from 24 to 72 hours postoperatively.

Influenza-Associated Neurological Complications in Pediatric Patients: Clinical Characteristics, Outcomes, and Risk Stratification Using the Neuroinfluenza Severity Score  from the Multicenter TURK-INF Study

This multicenter study of 397 pediatric patients in Türkiye characterizes the clinical spectrum of influenza-associated neurological complications, finding that seizures are the most common manifestation with high recovery rates, and validates the Neuroinfluenza Severity Score (NISS) as a highly accurate tool for predicting poor outcomes and guiding early risk stratification.

Equity and Efficiency of Healthcare Resource Allocation in Shanghai, China: A Longitudinal Study from 2009 to 2024

This longitudinal study of Shanghai from 2009 to 2024 reveals that while healthcare resource expansion has successfully improved population-based allocation equity, it has simultaneously exacerbated spatial and intra-district inequalities while reducing overall efficiency due to technological regression and urban-suburban structural mismatches, necessitating a strategic shift from scale-driven growth to quality-oriented development.
