Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent issue in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in cardiac ICUs, prompting a study to find predictors for AKI in this population.
- The MORCOR-TURK trial involved over 3,100 patients, with 615 CKD patients analyzed; AKI occurred in 46% of these patients during their hospital stay.
- Key predictors for developing AKI included decompensated heart failure, types of coronary interventions, elevated troponin levels, and the need for mechanical ventilation, suggesting the need for personalized treatment strategies to prevent AKI.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the serum glucose-potassium ratio could predict in-hospital mortality among patients in coronary care units.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 3,100 patients, identifying several independent predictors of mortality, including the glucose-potassium ratio, which demonstrated a significant correlation with in-hospital death.
- Findings revealed that incorporating the glucose-potassium ratio into mortality prediction models increased the accuracy of identifying at-risk patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed various immune and inflammatory indices to see how they predict in-hospital mortality in coronary care unit patients in Turkey, involving a large sample size of 3,157.
- Out of these patients, 137 (4.3%) died during their hospital stay, with significant correlations found between mortality and several indices like the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI).
- Notably, when combining these indices, only the CAR significantly improved the predictive model for in-hospital mortality compared to the initial set of risk predictors.
: A deficiency in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels is associated with a number of cardiovascular situations, such as high blood pressure, heart failure, atherosclerotic heart disease, and peripheral artery disease. The frontal QRS-T angle has recently been proposed as a marker of ventricular repolarization. A wider frontal QRS-T angle has been positively correlated with adverse cardiac events.

This report describes the baseline demographic characteristics of patients recruited for the MORCOR-TURK trial.
Methods: The study is a multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective national registry that included 50 centers capable of 24-hour CCU service, selected from all seven geographic regions of Türkiye.
