Purpose: Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder with significant morbidity. To study the evidence on the association of premature mortality and hypopituitarism.
Methods: A comprehensive search of multiple databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus was conducted through August, 2015. Eligible studies that evaluated patients with hypopituitarism and reported mortality estimates were selected following a predefined protocol. Reviewers, independently and in duplicate, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias.
Results: We included 12 studies (published 1996-2015) that reported on 23,515 patients. Compared to the general population, hypopituitarism was associated with an overall excess mortality (weighted SMR of 1.55; 95 % CI 1.14-2.11), I = 97.8 %, P = 0.000. Risk factors for increased mortality included younger age at diagnosis, female gender, diagnosis of craniopharyngioma, radiation therapy, transcranial surgery, diabetes insipidus and hypogonadism.
Conclusion: Hypopituitarism may be associated with premature mortality in adults. Risk is particularly higher in women and those diagnosed at a younger age.

Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables a non-invasive measurement of tissue oxygen saturation (StO) in regions illuminated by near-infrared lights. Vascular occlusion test (VOT) serves as a model to artificially induce forearm ischemia-reperfusion. The combination of StO monitoring and VOT allows for dynamic evaluation of the balance between oxygen delivery and consumption in tissue, as well as the functional reserve of microcirculation.

Background: The effects of acute kidney injury (AKI) on liver-related outcomes in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remain unclear. The study aimed to evaluate the association between AKI with liver-related mortality and complications in patients with HBV infection.
Methods: The multicenter, retrospective cohort study included Chinese adults with HBV infection from 24 regional central hospitals between January 2000 and December 2022.
Cash-Out Puzzle and Long-Term Care Insurance: Welfare of the Elderly.

This study investigates the effects of diverse payment methods within long-term care insurance (LTCI) on the well-being of elderly individuals, encompassing both in-kind and cash payments. Utilizing panel data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), we leverage a generalized difference-in-differences (DID) approach and the LTCI pilots across various Chinese cities to identify the impacts of different LTCI payment methods. Our findings indicate that an in-kind LTCI policy significantly decreases the one-year mortality of older adults, with significant improvements on ADL-related care receipt as well as health status.

The association between the recently updated cardiovascular health (CVH) assessment algorithm, the Life's Essential 8 (LE8), and all-cause mortality among adults with depression remains unknown. From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2005-2018, a cohort of 2,935 individuals diagnosed with depression was identified. Their CVH was evaluated through the LE8 score system.
