| population | Saudi Arabia | “Factors Associated with Healthcare Utilization in Children with Sickle Cell Disease in Saudi Arabia. (1) Background: In Saudi Arabia, a high-income country with a publicly funded healthcare system, sickle cell disease (SCD) remains a major pediatric health challenge. This study aimed to identify factors associated with healthcare utilization, specifically inpatient (IP), outpatient (OP), and emergency department (ED) visits, among children with SCD in Saudi Arabia. (2) Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted using data from the KAIMRC registry (2015-2023), including 450 children under 12 years old diagnosed with SCD.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “This study examines for the first time the metabolic differences across obesity phenotypes in Saudi adults, addressing a literature gap in understudied populations with high obesity prevalence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 450 Saudi adults classified as MHO, MUO, or metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) based on BMI (≥ 30 kg/m²) and the presence of ≥ 3 metabolic abnormalities per National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) criteria.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “The association of toll-like receptor 4 polymorphism with hepatitis C virus infection in Saudi Arabian patients. This study aims to investigate the implication of genetic polymorphisms of TLR4 gene on the HCV infection in Saudi Arabian patients. Two SNPs in the TLR4 gene, rs4986790 (A/G) and rs4986791 (C/T), were genotyped in 450 HCV patients and 600 uninfected controls. Both TLR4 SNPs under investigation were found to be significantly implicated with HCV-infection among Saudi Arabian population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
