Objective: To establish a simple risk stratification system for patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) based on postnatal information within 24 h after birth.
Study Design: A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study was conducted including 348 neonates who had isolated CDH born between 2006 and 2010. Based on the two most powerful variables for 90-day survival selected by multivariate analyses, a risk stratification system was established.
Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis identified two adverse prognostic factors: an Apgar score at 1 min (Ap1) of 0-4 (odds ratio (OR) 3.3, P=0.004), and a best oxygenation index (OI) ⩾8.0 (OR 11.4, P<0.001). Based on a combinations of these two factors, patients were classified into three risk categories. The 90-day survival rates in categories 1-3 were 100, 88 and 52%, respectively (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Our simple risk stratification system based on Ap1 and best OI was capable of predicting mortality well.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in developing countries, and China bears the largest global burden of stroke. This study aims to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of physical activity levels and stroke risk using a nationally representative database. We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2020.

While a broad consensus about the first successful migration modern humans out of Africa seems established, the peopling of Arabia remains somewhat enigmatic. Identifying the ancestral populations that contributed to the gene pool of the current populations inhabiting Arabia and the impact of their contributions remains a challenging task. We investigate the genetic makeup of the current Yemeni population using 46 whole genomes and 169 genotype arrays derived from Yemeni individuals from all geographic regions across Yemen and 351 genotype arrays derived from neighboring populations providing regional context.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease with a high relapse rate. In this study, we map the metabolic profile of CD34(CD38) AML cells and the extracellular vesicle signatures in circulation from AML patients at diagnosis. CD34 AML cells display high antioxidant glutathione levels and enhanced mitochondrial functionality, both associated with poor clinical outcomes.

There is a pressing need to improve risk stratification and treatment selection for HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) due to the adverse side effects of treatment. One of the most important prognostic features is lymph nodes involvement. Previously, we demonstrated that tumor formation in patient-derived xenografts (i.

Adverse aortic remodeling increases the risk of aorta-related adverse events (AAEs) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and affects the overall prognosis of aortic dissection (AD). It is imperative to delve into the exploration of prognostic indicators to streamline the identification of individuals at elevated risk for postoperative AAEs, and therapeutic targets to optimize the efficacy of TEVAR for patients with AD. Here, we perform proteomic and single-cell transcriptomic analyses of peripheral blood and aortic lesions, respectively, from patients with AD and healthy subjects.
