Purpose: This study aims to construct a contemporaneous symptom network of inpatients with Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (ECOPD) based on the symptom cluster, identify core and bridge symptoms, and patient subgroups with different symptom clusters based on individual differences in the intensity of patient symptom experiences.
Patients And Methods: This study used convenience sampling to collect demographic, symptom, auxiliary examination, and prognosis information of 208 inpatients with ECOPD from April 2022 to October 2023. The data underwent exploratory factor analysis (EFA), symptom network analysis, latent class analysis (LCA), Spearman correlation analysis, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, single-factor regression and multiple-factor stepwise regression.

Background: End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an independent risk factor in outcomes for traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (TRAD-CAB) utilizing aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegic arrest. In order to determine if Beating-Heart CABG (BH-CABG) techniques offer benefit in patients with ESRD, an analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) predicted risk versus the actual outcomes was performed.
Methods: Between March 2017 - October 2023, all ESRD patients underwent BH-CABG by a single surgeon at a single institution.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects breathing, speech production, and coughing. We evaluated a machine learning analysis of speech for classifying the disease severity of COPD.
Methods: In this single centre study, non-consecutive COPD patients were prospectively recruited for comparing their speech characteristics during and after an acute COPD exacerbation.
