| population | Saudi Arabia | “Clinical Discovery and Molecular Analysis of Two Novel MSH2 Gene Mutations (p.Ala771Gly and p.Val797Gly) in Saudi Colorectal Cancer Patients: Potential Implications for Tumorigenesis. METHODS: Tumor tissues were obtained from 84 Saudi CRC patients, and their disease data and tumor characteristics were recorded.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Effect of autism on parental quality of life in Arar city, Saudi Arabia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 84 parents of autistic children attending developmental abnormalities clinic in Arar city during January 1 to March 31, 2019.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Psychometric analysis of the Arabic (Saudi) Tilburg Frailty Indicator among Saudi community-dwelling older adults. Despite its widespread use, the TFI is not commonly used in Arabic-speaking countries, and there is an overall lack of Arabic-translated questionnaires to adequately detect and measure frailty for older adults in Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVES: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) specifically for use with the Saudi population, and to examine reliability and construct validity among adults in senior-living facilities in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: A total of 84 community-dwelling older adults were enrolled (mean age = 72 ± 4.7 years). CONCLUSION: This study found that the translated Arabic (Saudi) TFI is a valid and reliable instrument in assessing the frailty among Saudi community-dwelling older adults.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Spectrum of mutations underlying Propionic acidemia and further insight into a genotype-phenotype correlation for the common mutation in Saudi Arabia. To determine the frequency of pathogenic variants in PA in our population, 84 Saudi Arabian patients affected with PA were sequenced for both the PCCA and PCCB genes. The p.Gly142Asp missense variant is likely to be a founder pathogenic variant in patients of Saudi Arabian tribal origin and is associated with a severe phenotype.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Markers of endothelial dysfunction and leucocyte activation in Saudi and non-Saudi haplotypes of sickle cell disease. We compared soluble E-selectin and P-selectin levels in 84 SCD patients, in steady state and during VOC to 84 healthy controls. Further, we compared E-selectin and P-selectin levels in patients of Saudi ethnicity to non-Saudi patients, in all three groups. There was no significant difference in all three study groups between Saudi and non-Saudi patients. Despite the distinct phenotype of Saudi patients with SCD, there was no significant difference in levels of soluble E-selectin and soluble P-selectin between Saudi and non-Saudi patients in all three groups.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Sickle cell anemia morbidity in Northern Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVE: Documentation of the morbidity in sickle cell patients presenting at the Northern Area Armed Forces Hospital, Hafr Al Batin, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the burden of delivering care to these patients. METHODS: The record charts of all Saudi patients with Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) admitted between June 1994 through to July 2001 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The study embraced a total of 84 patients (53 males and 31 females) giving a male to female ratio of 1.7:1.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Angiotensin-converting enzyme polymorphism and the risk of coronary heart disease in the Saudi male population. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relevance of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism for coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Saudi population. METHODS AND RESULTS: DNA of 84 male Saudi patients with established CAD, 36 male controls who underwent angiography, and 327 healthy Saudi male blood donors was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, using oligonucleotide primers flanking the insertion (I)/deletion (D) sites in the polymorphic region of intron 16 of the ACE gene. CONCLUSIONS: The results show no increased risk of CAD in association with either the II or DD genotypes in the Saudi population.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “SETTING: King Fahd Hospital of the University at Al-Khobar and College of Medicine and Medical Sciences, King Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The most common infecting organism was salmonella species in 84 patients (41.7%) and 71/84 patients were below the age of 12 years.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
| population | Saudi Arabia | “Benign sickle cell disease in Saudi Arabia: survival estimate and population dynamics. A survey of 8,084 adult Saudi male employment applicants yielded 872 with the sickle cell trait (AS) and 51 with sickle cell disease. Based on the known distribution of hemoglobin S genes between oasis and non-oasis populations in Saudi Arabia, and on calculation of the expected number of abnormal homozygotes within the non-oasis and oasis subgroups as well as the entire employment applicant group, it appears that virtually 100% of Saudis with SS disease survive to adult life. Saudi Arabs and other Caucasian populations in the Middle East exhibit a benign type of SS disease as compared with Blacks in Africa and the Americas.” | 0.95 | saudi_context_rules_v1 |
