Article Synopsis
- Mitochondrial dysfunction and low NAD levels are linked to aging and muscle loss (sarcopenia), but it's unclear if these issues come from local or systemic factors.
- Research shows that trigonelline, a natural compound similar to nicotinic acid, positively affects NAD levels and muscle health across different species, including humans.
- Trigonelline enhances mitochondrial function, reduces muscle wasting, and increases strength and lifespan, suggesting that dietary trigonelline could be a helpful strategy against age-related muscle decline.
Purpose: This study evaluated risk factors predicting unplanned 30-day acute service utilization among adults subsequent to hospitalization for a new diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. This study explored the prevalence of medical complications (aligned with OP-35 measure specifications from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS] Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program) and the potential impact of psychosocial factors on unplanned acute care utilization.
Methods: This study included 933 unique patients admitted to three acute care inpatient facilities within a nonprofit community-based health care system in southern California from 2012 to 2017.
