Background: The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of infective endocarditis (IE) in mainland China, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, remain insufficiently understood. This study aims to examine temporal trends, clinical features, and factors influencing in-hospital mortality of IE in northern China from 2019 to 2023.
Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included 961 patients diagnosed with IE between 2019 and 2023 across hospitals in Henan, Shandong, and Tianjin.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) on mortality rates in ICU patients who experienced their first-ever strokes.
- It utilizes data from a large database and local ICUs, employing statistical models to analyze the relationship between TyG levels and both ICU and hospital mortality as well as length of stay.
- Findings indicate that higher TyG levels significantly correlate with increased mortality risk, and machine learning models based on TyG demonstrate promising predictive capabilities for ICU outcomes.
Background: Diastolic heart failure (DHF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often coexist, causing increased mortality rates. Glycaemic variability (GV) exacerbates cardiovascular complications, but its impact on outcomes in patients with DHF and T2DM remains unclear. This study examined the relationships between GV with mortality outcomes, and developed a machine learning (ML) model for long-term mortality in these patients.

However, there is still a lack of relevant studies exploring the influence of midazolam and propofol on the prognosis of patients with Sepsis-associated Acute Kidney Injury (S-AKI).
Patients And Methods: A statistical analysis was conducted on 3,745 patients with S-AKI in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database.
