The Hematological and Social Factors Affecting Length of Stay in Acute Stroke Patients: A Quality Assessment Study From a Single Institute.
Cureus
November 2024
Neurosurgery, Baptist Health Neuroscience Partners Neurosurgery, Baptist Medical Center South, Montgomery, USA.
Introduction: Stroke is one of the common causes of mortality. The length of stay (LOS) for a stroke is a quality indicator and affects mortality. However, there are no large studies evaluating the LOS in an acute inpatient setting for stroke patients, mainly hematological and social parameters.

December 2024
Institute of Biomedical Science, National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Purpose: This study investigates the complex relationship between body mass index (BMI) and bladder cancer outcomes, utilizing Taiwan's national database. Bladder cancer remains a significant health concern, especially in Taiwan, prompting a comprehensive retrospective analysis to explore the impact of obesity on survival outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A meticulous exclusion process, based on Taiwan National Health Insurance System Database, refined the initial dataset of 15,086 bladder cancer patients to 10,352.
Body mass index and waist-to-height ratio effect on mortality in non-alcoholic fatty liver: revisiting the obesity paradox.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: Emerging research indicates that individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) who carry excess weight have similar or even higher survival rates than their normal-weight counterparts. This puzzling "obesity paradox" may be attributed to underlying biases. To explore this phenomenon, we examined data extracted from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III, which spanned from 1988-1994.

Ann Surg Open
December 2024
Division of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between obesity and postoperative mortality in the context of high procedural complexity and comorbidity burden.
Background: The "obesity paradox" suggests better postoperative outcomes in patients with higher body mass index (BMI), despite obesity's associated health risks. Research remains scarce on the influence of procedural complexity and comorbidities on the obesity-postoperative mortality relationship.
Association between body mass index and clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction and reduced systolic function: Analysis of PARADISE-MI trial data.
Eur J Heart Fail
December 2024
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Aims: The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease, including acute heart failure (AHF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), remains debated. This study investigates the association between BMI and clinical outcomes within the PARADISE-MI cohort, while also evaluating the impact of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) versus angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) treatment on this relationship.
Methods And Results: The analysis included 5589 patients from the PARADISE-MI study with available baseline BMI data.
