Background: The problem issue of coronaviruses is one of the most serious problems in the world. The present study aimed to investigate and describe the clinical characteristics, risk factors of fatality rate, and length of hospital stay in patients with COVID-19 in Mazandaran province.
Materials And Methods: In this epidemiological study, data from COVID-19 patients admitted to hospitals in Mazandaran province from July 22 to August 21, 2020, were reported. Multivariate logistic regression methods and the Cox proportional hazards model were used to determine the risk factors of fatality.
Results: Out of the 6759 hospitalized patients, 3111(46.03%) patients had comorbidity; 19.77% of them had diabetes, 19.97% had hypertension, and 15.28% had heart failure. Cox regression model on COVID-19 patient data showed that risk factors for fatality including having age over 60 years (HR: 1.93; P< 0.001), intubation (HR: 4.22; P<0.001), SpO≤ 93% (HR: 2.57; P=0.006), comorbidities of cancer (HR: 1.87; P=0.006), chronic blood diseases (HR: 1.83; P=0.049), heart failure (HR: 1.63; P<0.001), and chronic kidney disease (HR: 1.98; P<0.001).
Conclusion: Paying much attention to risk factors for fatality can help identify patients with a poor prognosis in the early stages. More assessments should also be performed to examine the underlying mechanisms of these risk factors. Highlighting death-relate d risk factors is crucial to increase preparedness through appropriate medical care and prevention regulations.

Aim: To explore the holistic impact of socioeconomic and mental health inequalities on the global burden of type 2 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study used data on the incidence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and mortality of type 2 diabetes as well as DALYs attributable to risk factors during 1990-2021 from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was applied to assess the temporal trends from 1990 to 2021.

Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) is a critical determinant influencing the short-term prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and is associated with increased mortality rates among hospitalized individuals. AIS frequently coexists with coronary heart disease (CHD), complicating treatment and leading to more severe symptoms and worse outcomes. Shared risk factors between CHD and AIS, especially elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), contribute to atherosclerosis and inflammation, which worsen brain tissue damage.

Aims: Previous studies have shown that eGDR and TyG, as indicators of insulin resistance (IR), were key risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study further explored the relationship between eGDR change and new-onset CVD, and compared the predictive value of eGDR change, eGDR and TyG.
Materials And Methods: A total of 2895 participants without CVD at baseline from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included, using K-means clustering and cumulative eGDR to measure eGDR change between 2012 and 2015.
Development of an online psychological intervention to prevent depression in patients with atrial fibrillation: lessons learned in a user-centered design study.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Approximately 30% of patients with atrial fibrillation suffer from depression. Depression in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with poor health outcomes, reduced health-related quality of life, and elevated societal costs. Preventing depression in this population may therefore lead to better health outcomes for the individual patient and reduced burden on society.

Background: Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause more rapid progression to cirrhosis than HCV-monoinfection. In this study, incident HCV case (IHCV)s were investigated in a HIV clinic in Korea.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective HIV cohort was constructed who visited National Medical Center in Korea from 2013 to 2022 and performed ≥ 1 anti-HCV antibody tests (anti-HCV) during the study period.
