The association between nutrition risk status assessment and hospital mortality in Chinese older inpatients: a retrospective study.
J Health Popul Nutr
December 2024
Department of Nursing, Changde Hospital, Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University（The first people's hospital of Changde city), Changde, Hunan Province, China.
Purpose: The association between nutritional risk status assessment and hospital mortality in older patients remains controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between nutritional risk on admission and in-hospital mortality, and explore the best Nutritional Risk Status Screening 2002 (NRS2002) threshold for predicting in-hospital mortality of older inpatients in China.
Method: The elderly inpatients were recruited from a hospital in Hunan Province, China.
Prognostic value of interim PET/CT in GCB and non-GCB DLBCL: comparison of the Deauville five-point scale and the ΔSUVmax method.
BMC Cancer
December 2024
Department of Nuclear Medicine, School of Medicine, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University, Shanghai, 200080, China.
Background: This study aimed to identify the prognostic value of interim F-FDG PET/CT (I-PET) for germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) and non-GCB diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), respectively.
Methods: Baseline F-FDG PET/CT (B-PET) and I-PET scans were performed in 112 patients with DLBCL. The prognostic value of I-PET using the Deauville five-point scale (D-5PS) criteria or percentage decrease in SUVmax (∆SUVmax) for GCB and non-GCB DLBCL were evaluated.
Prognostic value of lymph node metrics in lung squamous cell carcinoma: an analysis of the SEER database.
World J Surg Oncol
December 2024
Department of Hospital Infection Management and Preventive Health Care, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital Bijie Hospital, Bijie, 551799, China.
Introduction: Although the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) staging system is widely used for staging lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), the TNM system primarily emphasizes tumor size and metastasis, without adequately considering lymph node involvement. Consequently, incorporating lymph node metastasis as an additional prognostic factor is essential for predicting outcomes in LSCC patients.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with LSCC between 2004 and 2018 and was based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of the National Cancer Institute.
Association between cardiometabolic index and all-cause and cause-specific mortality among the general population: NHANES 1999-2018.
Lipids Health Dis
December 2024
Department of Oncology, Liyuan Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, P.R. China.
Background: Cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a comprehensive clinical parameter which integrates overweight and abnormal lipid metabolism. However, its relationship with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality is still obscure. Thus, a large-scale cohort study was conducted to illustrate the causal relation between CMI and CVD, cancer, and all-cause mortality among the common American population.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Rui Jin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, 200025, People's Republic of China.
Backgrounds: Due to the high mortality and hospitalization rate in chronic heart failure (HF), it is of great significance to study myocardial nutrition conditions. Amino acids (AAs) are essential nutrient metabolites for cell development and survival. This study aims to investigate the associations and prognostic value of plasma branched-chain amino acid/aromatic amino acid ratio (Fischer's ratio, FR) in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 50%.
