An Audit of 829 Paediatric Epidurals in a Tertiary Singapore Hospital: Complications and Conundrums.
CONCLUSION: Epidural analgesia has been shown to be associated with a relatively low risk of complications both in the adult and paediatric populations, albeit with a fourfold increased risk in the latter cohort. Adverse events reported are largely related to catheter problems and have minimal impact upon the patient. PMID: 28821891 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore)

Routine Staging Using Chest Computed Tomography in Workup of Treatment-Na ïve Hepatocellular Carcinoma Prior to Locoregional Therapy: Is There a Need?
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of pulmonary metastasis is low in HCC and our study does not support the routine use of staging chest CT in all treatment-naïve patients. It can, however, be considered in cases with multiple lesions or vascular invasion. PMID: 28821892 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore)

Comparison of the Proportion and Healthcare Utilisation of Adult Patients with Uncontrolled Severe Asthma versus Non-Severe Asthma Seen in a Southeast Asian Hospital-Based Respiratory Specialist Clinic.

An Ecologic Study of Trends in the Prevalence of Myopia in Chinese Adults in Singapore Born from the 1920s to 1980s.
CONCLUSION: During the past few decades, the prevalence of myopia increased rapidly, especially in persons who started elementary school after the 1980s (born after 1970). The education system was expanded after Singapore's independence in 1965, and the new education system was introduced in 1978. These changes, together with increasing intensive schooling, may have contributed to the increase in myopia prevalence.
