Hong Kong needs a territory-wide registry for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
The outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Hong Kong are poor, causing a significant public health burden, with loss of life and productivity throughout society. Internationally, several countries have successfully established nationwide OHCA registry programmes. Lui and colleagues argue that such a territory-wide OHCA is necessary in Hong Kong, as a first step to understanding and improving survival and outcomes of OHCA.

Faecal microbiota transplantation for treatment of recurrent or refractory Clostridioides difficile infection in Hong Kong
Clostridioides difficile is a leading cause of diarrhoea, with significant morbidity and mortality; recent antibiotic-resistant strains are a particular threat. Clostridioides difficile infection is associated with disruption to the normal gut microbiota. Lui and colleagues share a series of cases of Clostridioides difficile infection treated with faecal microbiota transplantation, and recommend wider adoption of this intervention.

Statins role in preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury: a scoping review
Anjum and colleagues review the literature on statin use for prophylaxis of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in order to reveal any gaps in the literature and to suggest areas for future research. They found that, despite reported benefits of short-term high-dosage statin use in preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury, statin therapy is not yet a standard prophylactic regimen. The authors recommend larger well-designed trials to mitigate the wide variations among previously reported results.
