Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from electronic medical documentation of 54 976 inpatients hospitalized in an urban university hospital during 3 consecutive years (2014-2017).

Results: TLC was available for 12 651 (23.

Blood albumin as a prognostic factor among unselected medically treated inpatients.

The "cholesterol paradox" among inpatients - retrospective analysis of medical documentation.

Introduction: There is evidence of positive relationships between cholesterol concentration and risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, higher mortality in patients with a low cholesterol level has been reported (the "cholesterol paradox").

Material And Methods: Medical records of 34 191 inpatients between 2014 and 2016 were reviewed and the relationships between total (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) cholesterol and triglyceride blood concentrations and all-cause in-hospital death and readmission within 14 and 30 days and 1 year were determined in univariate and multivariate analyses.

Body mass index as a biomarker for the evaluation of the "Obesity Paradox" among inpatients.

Background: Overweight and obesity are, on the one hand, recognized as risk factors for many health-related disorders, and, on the other, as favorable prognostic factors in various patients treated for several different conditions; what is called the "obesity paradox". Until now, the existence of this phenomenon among a general population of consecutive inpatients has not been evaluated. We decided, therefore, to perform an evaluation.

[Score method evaluation of the sanitary condition of the University Hospital in Bydgoszcz and personnel education in 2007 - 2010].
