Effect of sarcopenia and frailty on outcomes among patients with brain metastases.

Purpose: Sarcopenia and frailty have been associated with increased mortality and duration of hospitalization in cancer. However, data investigating these effects in patients with brain metastases remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sarcopenia and frailty on clinical outcomes in patients with surgically treated brain metastases.

Long-term Prognosis in Patients With Concomitant Acute Coronary Syndrome and Aortic Stenosis.

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) share similar cardiovascular risk factors. The incidence of concomitant AS and ACS is increasing with aging population, yet studies investigating the prognosis of these patients remain scarce.

Methods: This retrospective single-centre cohort study examined consecutive patients who presented with ACS and AS from January 1, 2011, to March 31, 2021.
