Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the role of inflammation-related biomarkers (SII, SIRI, NLR, PLR) in predicting mid-term mortality and restenosis in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
- During an average follow-up of about 21 months, researchers found that higher levels of these biomarkers correlated with increased mortality rates, particularly highlighting NLR as a significant independent risk factor.
- However, no significant links were established between these biomarkers and the occurrence of restenosis in the study participants.
Purpose: Hip fractures in elderly individuals are associated with high mortality rates, even with advanced treatment options. Identifying factors correlated with mortality could guide potential preventive strategies. Elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, as well as the AST/ALT ratio (AAR), have been associated with mortality in various diseases, but their association with hip fracture mortality remains underexplored.

Materials And Methods: We included all patients from the Turkish population who received a first diagnosis of HF between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2022, using ICD-10 codes from the National Electronic Healthcare Database.
Background/aim: Final diagnosis of heart failure (HF) relies on a combination clinical findings, laboratory and imaging tests. The aim of this study was to review the diagnostic approach to HF in Türkiye.
Materials And Methods: This study is a subanalysis of the nationwide TRends-HF study, based on anonymized data from National Electronic Database between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2022.
Background/aim: Effective management of heart failure involves evidence-based use of multiple medications and their combinations. Furthermore, dosage escalation of the recommended medications is advised. In cases of advanced heart failure, long-term mechanical assistance devices or heart transplantation surgery may be necessary.
