Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Two-year outcomes after conventional or endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Two randomized trials have shown better outcomes with elective endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms than with conventional open repair in the first month after the procedure. We investigated whether this advantage is sustained beyond the perioperative period. ⋯ The perioperative survival advantage with endovascular repair as compared with open repair is not sustained after the first postoperative year.

A vaccine to prevent herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia in older adults.
The incidence and severity of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia increase with age in association with a progressive decline in cell-mediated immunity to varicella-zoster virus (VZV). We tested the hypothesis that vaccination against VZV would decrease the incidence, severity, or both of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia among older adults. ⋯ The zoster vaccine markedly reduced morbidity from herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia among older adults.
