Article Synopsis
- Research on endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute limb ischemia (ALI) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is limited.
- A study analyzed hospitalizations from 2015 to 2017, revealing that patients with advanced CKD (stages III-V) faced significantly higher in-hospital mortality and complications compared to those without CKD.
- The findings highlight that patients with severe CKD and ESRD have worse health outcomes and increased healthcare costs after EVT for ALI, indicating the need for better treatment guidelines for these patients.
Background infection (CDI) is one of the rising public health threats in the United States. It has imposed significant morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. However, the burden of the disease in the young population is unclear.

Methods We derived data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) for the years 2008-2017 for adult hospitalizations due to sepsis. The primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and discharge to facility.

Objective: We used the National database to delineate the trends and predictors of VAP from 2009 to 2017.
Background: () plays an important role in causing peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in the general population. However, the role of in cirrhotic patients for causing PUD is obscure. There are various studies evaluating association with PUD in cirrhotic patients, but the results have been controversial.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) are most important interventions for patients with severe CAP associated with respiratory failure. We analysed utilization trends and predictors of non-invasive and invasive ventilation in patients hospitalized with CAP.
