Eligible patients were aged 70 years or older and assessed as not frail (fit) using the ELAN Geriatric Evaluation (EGE) and had recurrent or metastatic HNSCC in the first-line setting that was not eligible for local therapy (surgery or radiotherapy), and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0–1. The adapted EXTREME regimen consisted of six cycles of fluorouracil 4000 mg/m<sup>2</sup> on days 1–4, carboplatin with an area under the curve of 5 on day 1, and cetuximab on days 1, 8, and 15 (400 mg/m<sup>2</sup> on cycle 1–day 1, and 250 mg/m<sup>2</sup> subsequently), all intravenously, with cycles starting every 21 days. In patients with disease control after two to six cycles, cetuximab 500 mg/m<sup>2</sup> was continued once every 2 weeks as maintenance therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was systematically administered and erythropoietin was recommended during chemotherapy. The study was based on the two-stage Bryant and Day design, combining efficacy and toxicity endpoints. The primary efficacy endpoint was objective response rate at week 12 after the start of treatment, assessed by central review (with an unacceptable rate of ≤15%). The primary toxicity endpoint was morbidity, defined as grade 4–5 adverse events, or cutaneous rash (grade ≥3) that required cetuximab to be discontinued, during the chemotherapy phase, or a decrease in functional autonomy (Activities of Daily Living score decrease ≥2 points from baseline) at 1 month after the end of chemotherapy (with an unacceptable morbidity rate of >40%). Analysis of the coprimary endpoints, and of safety in the chemotherapy phase, was based on the per-protocol population, defined as eligible patients who received at least one cycle of the adapted EXTREME regimen.

Evidence indicates a change in dementia prevalence and incidence in high-income countries, which is likely to be due to improved life-course population health.

We therefore aimed to estimate the population attributable fraction (PAF) for dementia associated with modifiable risk factors.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched Embase, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO, via Ovid, from database inception up to June 29, 2023, for population-derived or community-based studies and reviews reporting a PAF value for one or more modifiable risk factor for later-life dementia (prevalent or incident dementia in people aged ≥60 years), with no restrictions on dementia subtype, the sex or baseline age of participants, or the period of study. Articles were independently screened for inclusion by four authors, with disagreements resolved through consensus. Data including unweighted and weighted PAF values (weighted to account for communality or overlap in risk) were independently extracted into a predefined template by two authors and checked by two other authors. When five or more unique studies investigated a given risk factor or combination of the same factors, random-effects meta-analyses were used to calculate a pooled PAF percentage estimate for the factor or combination of factors.

Overall, PAFs were reported for 61 modifiable risk factors, with sufficient data available for meta-analysis of 12 factors (n=48 studies). In meta-analyses, the highest pooled unweighted PAF values were estimated for low education (17·2% [95% CI 14·4–20·0], p<0·0001), hypertension (15·8% [14·7–17·1], p<0·0001), hearing loss (15·6% [10·3–20·9], p<0·0001), physical inactivity (15·2% [12·8–17·7], p<0·0001), and obesity (9·4% [7·3–11·7], p<0·0001). According to weighted PAF values, low education (9·3% [6·9–11·7], p<0·0001), physical inactivity (7·3% [3·9–11·2], p=0·0021), hearing loss (7·2% [5·2–9·7], p<0·0001), hypertension (7·1% [5·4–8·8], p<0·0001), and obesity (5·3% [3·2–7·4], p=0·0001) had the highest pooled estimates. When low education, midlife hypertension, midlife obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, depression, and diabetes were combined (Barnes and Yaffe seven-factor model; n=9 studies), the pooled unweighted and weighted PAF values were 55·0% (46·5–63·5; p<0·0001) and 32·0% (26·6–37·5; p<0·0001), respectively.
