Development and validation of a multifactorial nomogram to predict 48 month mortality in decompensated heart failure.

Background And Aims: As the incidence of heart failure (HF) increases, the need for practical tools to evaluate the long-term prognosis in these patients remains critical. Our study aimed to develop a 48 month prediction model for all-cause mortality in decompensated HF patients using available clinical indicators.

Methods: HF patients (n = 503), 60 years or older, were divided into a training cohort (n = 402) and a validation cohort (n = 101).

The correlation between the main and minor lesions of synchronous multiple gastric neoplasms assessed gastroscopically and microscopically.

Background: Patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) are at high risk of developing synchronous multiple gastric neoplasms (SMGNs) after undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, most previous studies have had small sample sizes, and few have focused on association studies.

Aims: This study aimed to analyze the associations between SMGN lesion data from patients with EGC treated with ESD and their correlation coefficients.

Correlation between the prognostic nutritional index and outcomes in older patients aged ≥ 60 years with chronic heart failure.

Background: Nutritional status is related to clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a simple tool to assess nutrition.

Aim: To evaluate the association between the PNI score and clinical outcomes in patients (60 years and older) hospitalized due to an acute exacerbation of CHF.
