Increasing educational attainment and mortality reduction: a systematic review and taxonomy

Abstract Background Understanding the relationship between increasing educational attainment and mortality reduction has important policy and public health implications. This systematic review of the literature establishes a taxonomy to facilitate evaluation of the association between educational attainment and early mortality. Methods Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched Ovid Medline, Embase, PubMed and hand searches of references for English-language primary data analyses using education as an independent variable and mortality as a dependent variable. Initial searches were undertaken in February 2015 and updated in April 2016. Results One thousand, seven hundred and eleven unique articles were identified, 418 manuscripts were screened and 262 eligible studies were included in the review. After an iterative review process, the literature was divided into four study domains: (1) all-cause mortality (n = 68, 26.0%), (2) outcome-specific mortality (n = 89, 34.0%), (3) explanatory pathways (n = 51, 19.5%), and (4) trends over time (n = 54, 20.6%). These four domains comprise a novel taxonomy that can be implemented to better quantify the relationship between education and mortality. Conclusions We propose an organizational taxonomy for the education-mortality literature based upon study characteristics that will allow for a more in-depth understanding of this association. Our review suggests that studies that include mediators or subgroups can explain part, but not all, of the relationship between education and early mortality.

Rethinking cardiac risk reduction after noncardiac surgery: The postoperative Carpe diem

Patients undergoing noncardiac surgery frequently experience major adverse cardiac events. As a significant proportion of these patients develop cardiac complications despite optimal use of preoperative clinical risk‐prediction algorithms, physicians have long searched for better methods of forecasting and ameliorating cardiac risk in this population. Recently, postoperative troponin levels have been found to be powerful and independent predictors of cardiovascular mortality in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Importantly, the predictive properties of these markers outperform preoperative clinical risk‐prediction algorithms. We thus posit that the assessment of postoperative troponin represents an as yet untapped “golden opportunity” for cardiac risk reduction. As cardiac troponin isolates an unusually high‐risk subgroup, we outline a strategy that utilizes this marker to improve cardiac outcomes. Where pertinent, strengths and limitations of this approach are discussed and areas of uncertainty identified. As with all hypotheses, this proposition fuels many questions and calls for a research agenda dedicated to quantifying risk or benefit, and defining best practices.

Integration of emerging PCMs and nano-enhanced PCMs with different solar water heating systems for sustainable energy future: A systematic review

Solar water heaters (SWHs) are primarily used to generate hot water to meet daily needs in domestic and industrial applications. Due to its technical and economic practicality, solar water heating has been widely exploited for use of solar energy. However, the inconsistent availability of solar radiation and lack of energy storage facilities restrict its utilization. Thermal energy storage materials (Phase change materials and nano-enhanced phase change materials) are key solutions for effectively harvesting thermal energy from solar radiation. Integrating phase-change materials (PCMs) and nano-enhanced phase-change materials (NE-PCMs) with SWHs overcome the constraint of only being used during the daytime and making them more efficient. The main aim of this systematic review article is to summarize and highlights the key results of recent studies on SWHs integrated with PCMs and NE-PCMs for domestic and industrial water heating applications. This study also highlights the technical issues associated with SWH systems. In addition, the perspectives, recommendations, and future improvements of the SWH systems integrated with PCMs and NE-PCMs are explored to overcome the technical barriers to their practical use. In conclusion, the thermal performance of SWHs with the help of PCMs and NE-PCMs increased significantly, and the cost of the system was reduced, resulting in a shorter payback period compared to conventional SWHs. Also, there is a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions from an environmental perspective. It is intended that this study will provide new insights to the researchers to design and develop highly efficient SWH systems
