Background: To investigate the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and survival in Chinese patients with chronic liver disease (CLD).
Methods: HRQOL was measured with the Chinese version of Short Form 36 (SF-36). SF-36 scores, demographic and clinical data were collected at baseline and after 18 months follow-up. Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazard Regression survival analyses were used for interpretation of data. Surviving patients were censored in the analyses.
Results: A total of 415 Chinese patients with CLD and 86 healthy controls were enrolled. During the follow-up period 50 patients died. SF-36 scores in healthy controls and surviving patients were higher compared with those in deceased patients. Scores of physical component summary (PCS) in healthy controls, surviving and deceased patients were 54.1 ± 5.2, 48.9 ± 7.7 and 33.5 ± 8.2 respectively (p < 0.001). Scores of mental component summary (MCS) in healthy controls, surviving and deceased patients were 56.6 ± 8.2, 53.0 ± 5.6 and 37.1 ± 12.1 (p < 0.001) respectively. Survival was significantly associated with PCS and MCS scores, and the presence of ascites.
Conclusions: HRQOL was associated with survival in patients with CLD. PCS and MCS scores were predictors of survival.

Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors plus chemotherapy have been the standard of care in the first-line treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma; however, the survival benefits are modest in patients with low programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Here we investigated the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab (PD-1/cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) bispecific antibody) plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment in G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. The prespecified interim analysis is reported here.

Malnutrition substantially contributes to adverse clinical outcomes. However, no national survey has been conducted to characterize its epidemiology in hospital settings in China. We conducted the China Nutrition Fundamental Data 2020 project among a multistage stratified cluster sample of adult inpatients from 291 study sites across 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities (except for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan Province, and the Xizang Autonomous Region, please see MATERIALS AND METHODS for details of the causes) of China to generate reliable data on the prevalence of malnutrition and explore the associated risk factors.

Introduction: As a prevalent and severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) has garnered increasing attention. Reports suggested that CAN may be related to the disease activity of SLE. This study aims to explore whether Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) is associated with CAN and to evaluate its diagnostic value for CAN.

Background: Family history (FH) of psoriasis has been implicated as a risk factor for developing psoriasis. However, whether FH also carries information on clinical presentation and treatment response to biological agents in patients with psoriasis remains unclear.
Objective: This prospective, multicenter observational study aimed to analyze the clinical presentation and efficacy differences between patients with psoriasis with and without a FH.

Fever has long been recognized as one of the earliest clinical indicators of illness and remains a leading reason for seeking medical care worldwide. It is typically classified based on its duration and underlying etiology. In clinical settings, intractable fever is as common as acute fever, particularly in patients with brain injuries.
