Research topics from publications: Multimorbidity in the elderly in China based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study; A systematic review and meta-analysis of risk prediction models for post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with deep vein thrombosis. Representative work: This study aimed to investigate the spatial distribution and patterns of multimorbidity among the elderly in China. Data on the occurrence of 14 chronic diseases were collected for 9710 elderly participants in the 2015 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Web graph, Apriori algorithm, age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (AAC), and Spatial autocorrelation were used to perform the multimorbidity analysis. The multimorbidity prevalence rate was estimated as 49.64% in the elderly in China. Three major multimorbidity patterns were identified: [Asthma/Chronic lungs diseases]: (Support (S) = 6.17%, Confidence (C) = 63.77%, Lift (L) = 5.15); [Asthma, Arthritis, o Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the prediction models for the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) patients. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA). A systematic search on the following electronic database: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, and Chinese databases such as WANFANG and CNKI was conducted to look for relevant articles based on the research question. The risk of bias for each studies included was carried out based on Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST). Results:
