A recent Singapore study aimed to describe the incidence, risk factors and impact on mortality of CVEs in these patients. It found that patients with sepsis had significantly more CVEs compared to those without. Factors associated with an increased risk of CVEs included age, ethnicity and comorbidity of ischaemic heart disease
Awareness of the association between sepsis and CVEs allows earlier recognition of CVEs and initiation of therapies to improve the outcomes of patients.

The rapidly ageing population and enlarging burden of chronic diseases require a proportionate emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention. A health system that is more data-driven and patient-centric, which leverages the innovative use of technology and digital solutions, will be areas warranting research attention and coverage. The Annals invites submission of manuscripts that advance the scientific basis of clinical knowledge, and the practice of medicine in Singapore and internationally. We welcome submissions that address challenges in the management of chronic diseases (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, ageing, diabetes mellitus and neurological diseases), and use of technology and digital medicine to improve patient care.
Papers of sufficient merits will be published. Authors will also be notified if their manuscripts are deemed not suitable for publication.
