Predictive value of nutritional scores in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients: Insights from the AFTER-2 study.
Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis
November 2024
Background And Aim: Many scoring systems are used to evaluate malnutrition, but there is no consensus on which scoring system would be more appropriate. We aimed to investigate the effect of malnutrition in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and to compare three scoring systems.
Methods And Results: A total of 2592 patients with non-valvular AF from 35 different centers in Turkey were included in this prospective study.

- The ARTEMIS registry investigates Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a serious condition occurring during late pregnancy or shortly after childbirth, focusing on clinical characteristics and outcomes in Turkish patients.
- The study observed 293 women primarily aged 25-35 diagnosed with PPCM, mostly presenting symptoms like shortness of breath, and found a low usage of advanced imaging techniques, relying mainly on echocardiography.
- Results indicated a 5.1% mortality rate among patients, emphasizing the need for better education for healthcare practitioners and the critical role of national registries in managing rare diseases like PPCM.
Aim: This study focused on the simultaneous detection of amphetamine, 3,4-methyl enedioxy methamphetamine, morphine, benzoylecgonine, and 11-nor-9-carboxy- tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC-COOH) in whole blood and DBS. It is aimed to select a solvent mixture for liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) technique employing LC-MS/MS. The obtained DBS results were compared with the whole blood samples results.
