Background: To investigate the cumulative postnatal risk of pediatric sudden death (SD) for each neonate and the temporal/regional differences which are still unclear.
Methods: We established a birth cohort (2000-2014) from our national database and obtained reference data about the United States (US) from the national website.
Results: Among 3,097,277 live births, we identified 1661 children with SD (56.8% male). The postnatal cumulative risk of SD was 0.35, 0.49, 0.56 and 0.59/1000 by age 0, 5, 11 and 14 years. Coexisting cardiac diagnosis was noted in 347 (20.9%) and non-cardiac diagnosis in 300 (18.1%) patients. Cumulative all-cause mortality was 5.3, 6.78, 7.63 and 8.06/1000 by age 0, 5, 11 and 14 years. Risks of SD and all-cause death decreased over birthyear. SD risk decreased particularly after the 2008 birthyear. Risks of SD and all-cause death were the highest in Eastern Taiwan, but SD/all-cause death ratio was high in Taipei metropolitan and Northern Taiwan. Cumulative risk of SD (0.54/1000 by age 14) and all-cause mortality (9.06/1000 by age 14) in the US decreased over time. African-Americans were at the highest risks of SD and all-cause mortality. However, American-Indians/Alaska-natives exhibited the highest SD/all-cause death ratio.
Conclusion: This study provides the cumulative risk of SD (1 in 1694 newborns) by age 14 years. The time trend underlines the effect of medical advance and education on SD prevention. Distinct regional/ethnic differences in risks of SD and all-cause death in Taiwan and the US indicate the necessity of different strategies to diminish the disparity.

Association between delirium severity and prognosis following Transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
J Cardiol

Department of Cardiology, Kokura Memorial Hospital, Kitakyushu, Japan.
Background: Delirium is associated with patient prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, the prognostic impact of subsyndromal delirium, described as an intermediate stage between delirium and normal cognition, is uncertain. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of delirium severity in patients undergoing TAVI.

Department of Surveillance and Health Services Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Introduction: Several reviews have highlighted that the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is the best diagnostic tool for assessing nutritional status in cancer patients. However, previous meta-analyses summarizing the prevalence of malnutrition and overall survival in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are quite limited. This study aims to determine the overall prevalence and association between malnutrition, as defined by the PG-SGA, and mortality in adults with GI cancer.

Department of Cardiology, Angiology Haemostaseology and Medical Intensive Care University Medical Centre Mannheim Medical Faculty Mannheim at the University of Heidelberg Mannheim Germany.
Background: The study investigates the prognostic impact of sex and sex-related differences in patients hospitalized with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF). More data regarding the characterization of patients and their outcomes in the presence of HFmrEF are needed.
Methods And Results: Consecutive patients hospitalized with HFmrEF (ie, left ventricular ejection fraction 41%-49% and signs or symptoms of HF) were retrospectively included at one institution from 2016 to 2022.
Prognostic Impact of 1-Year Changes in Creatinine- and Cystatin C-Based Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate After Stroke on 5-Year Outcomes: Insights From the Third China National Stroke Registry.

Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital Capital Medical University Beijing China.
Background: The impact of long-term renal function change on stroke outcomes remains unclear. This study used the CNSR-III (Third China National Stroke Registry) cohort to determine whether changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate based on creatinine and cystatin C (eGFR) during the first year post stroke were associated with 5-year stroke outcomes.
Methods And Results: We included 4270 patients with centrally tested serum creatinine and cystatin C at admission and 1 year post admission and evaluated 5-year follow-up data.
Background: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who suffered a previous stroke are at increased risk of recurrent thromboembolic events and other major outcomes. The impact of the number of stroke episodes on the natural history of patients with AF is still unclear.
Methods And Results: Using data from the international, multicenter, and prospective GLORIA-AF (Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation) Registry Phase III, we categorized patients with a recent diagnosis of non-valvular AF according to the number of previous strokes (either 0, 1, or ≥2 episodes).
