Background: Few studies have investigated the effects of both dietary inflammatory index (DII) and composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) on mortality in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Our research aimed to explore the associations between the two indicators with all-cause mortality in COPD patients.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort analysis based on data from the six cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset from 2007 to 2018.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 4,908 patients were analyzed, with factors like peripheral artery disease, the length of diabetes, smoking, and HbA1c levels identified as key risk factors for developing PDPN.
  • * The developed prediction model showed good accuracy with an AUC of 0.872 for the training dataset and 0.843 for validation, indicating it effectively predicts the likelihood of PDPN among patients.

Background: Anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Several studies have demonstrated that anthocyanins are associated with many chronic diseases, but few studies have focused on the relationship between anthocyanins and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Objectives: This survey aimed to explore the relationship between dietary anthocyanin intake and COPD in US adults over the age of 40.

Background: Several studies have shown that dietary isoflavones are negatively correlated with total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, few studies have investigated the link between dietary isoflavones and remnant cholesterol (RC).

Objectives: We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database to explore the association between dietary isoflavone intake and RC.

Hyperactive delirium may lead to accidental removal of medical equipment, while hypoactive delirium may inhibit patients from participating in nursing interventions, medical treatment, and physical therapy.
