The impact from postoperative subclinical changes in plasma concentration of creatinine (p-creatinine) on postoperative mortality has received less attention. In this study, the association between the postoperative change of p-creatinine and all-cause mortality was investigated.

Unlabelled: Some antihyperglycemic medications have been found to affect bone metabolism. We assessed the long-term effects of metformin compared with placebo on bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Metformin had no significant effect on BMD in the spine and hip or TBS compared with a placebo.
