Association of hemoglobin glycation index with clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease: a prospective cohort study.

Background: To analyze the association between the hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: HGI represented the difference between laboratory measured Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and predicted HbA1c based on a liner regression between Hb1Ac and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). A total of 10 598 patients who treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were stratified into three groups (low HGI group: HGI<-0.

[Effects of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome in children on multiple systems].

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) may cause serious morbidities, such as systemic hypertension, diabetes, and cor pulmonale. However, currently no many reports on study of OSAHS in children are available. This study aimed to explore the effects of OSAHS on children's multiple systems.
