Background: Quality improvement initiatives in the acute care setting often target reduction of mortality and length of stay (LOS). Unplanned care escalations are associated with increased mortality risk and prolonged LOS, but may be precipitated by different factors, including appropriate triage, bed availability, and post-admission deterioration.
Objectives: This work evaluates different transfer timeframes to quantify the impact of deterioration-associated unplanned transfers to intensive care (ICU) on mortality and LOS, informing evidence-based interventions to improve patient care.

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high risk of developing microvascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy (DN), and diabetic retinopathy (DR), leading to significant morbidity.

Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) show promise as cost-effective and accessible biomarkers for the early detection of microvascular complications in T2DM.
