This work was designed to investigate the relationship between cardiac outcomes and Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) among heart failure (HF) patients. This retrospective observational study enrolled 298 consecutive individuals hospitalized for New York Heart Association class 3-4 HF. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were rehospitalization and in-hospital death. The high NPS group had a statistically greater rate of all-cause mortality (p < 0.001). In Cox regression analysis, integrating NPS considerably improved the performance of the full model over the baseline model (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.28; p = 0.004). Based on time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the NPS model outperformed the baseline and CONUT score models in discriminatory power in predicting the probability of survival. NPS was associated with short- and midterm mortality as well as rehospitalization.

Introduction: Mortality and morbidity in persons with haemophilia (PWH) have decreased due to improved diagnosis and treatment along with comprehensive population outreach efforts, but the impact is not uniform in different countries.
Aim: The study aims to assess all-cause and intracranial haemorrhage (ICH)-specific mortality of PWH in India.
Methods: This is a retrospective, observational, multi-centric cohort study of 1020 haemophilia patients from three centres in India.

Background: The role of Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) is still unclear in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI in the current second-generation DES era.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the trends and outcomes of IVUS-guided PCI in patients with STEMI.
Methods: We used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016 to 2021.

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are significant global health issues with a well-established association between the two. This study aims to assess the risk of developing CKD in patients with COPD through systematic review and meta-analysis, and to explore the impact of CKD on the prognosis of COPD patients.
Methods: A total of 23 studies were included in the analysis, comprising 11 studies on the risk of CKD in patients with COPD, 6 studies on the impact of CKD on the short-term all-cause mortality risk of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), and 6 studies on the impact of CKD on the long-term all-cause mortality risk of COPD patients.

Background: The impact of steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents (SSIAs) for immune-related adverse events (irAEs) on tumor outcome is not well-known. This systematic review evaluates tumor outcomes for corticosteroid (CS) monotherapy versus CS with SSIA (CS-SSIA) for irAE treatment with a focus on melanoma.
Methods: Search was conducted through 1/5/23 using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that the Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) provides strategic direction in the prognosis of malignant illness. Nevertheless, its relationship with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains underexplored. Therefore, additional research specifically focusing on the relationship between the Naples Prognostic Score and COPD is necessary to determine its widespread applicability.
