Purpose: The current umbrella review aimed to evaluate the effect of metformin on all-cause mortality (ACM), cardiovascular mortality, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence in DM patients.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were searched with special keywords. Related studies were included after screening by two independent investigators based on title and full texts. The AMSTAR2 checklist was used to assess the quality of studies, and Cochran tests were used to assess the heterogeneity between studies. Overall, seventeen systematic reviews and meta-analysis studies were included. The results revealed that the risk of ACM in patients who received metformin was lower than in patients who did not receive metformin. (OR: 0.80, 95% CI:0.744,0.855); also, the risk of CVD mortality in metformin patients was lower than in the other two groups (placebo and other anti-diabetic drugs) (OR: 0.771, 95% CI:0.688,0.853, P:0.001). The risk of CVD in metformin users was also lower than in the other two groups (OR: 0.828, 95% CI:0.781,0.785).
Summary: This comprehensive review showed that the risk of ACM, death due to CVD, and incidents of CVD in DM who use metformin was lower than the patients who received a placebo only or other diabetic drugs, which can guide clinicians in medical decision-making.

Association of frailty with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in community-dwelling older adults: insights from the Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey.

Department of Hypertension, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: Previous studies suggest that frailty increases the risk of mortality, but the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in Chinese community-dwelling older adults remains understudied. Our aim was to explore the effect of frailty on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in older adults based on a large-scale prospective survey of community-dwelling older adults in China.
Methods: We utilized the 2014-2018 cohort of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey and constructed a frailty index (FI) to assess frailty status.
A non-linear association of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among patients with hypertension.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Fengxian District Central Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Background: Although a few studies have examined the correlation between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and mortality, no study has explored these associations in hypertensive populations. This study aims to investigate the relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in adults with hypertension.
Methods: Hypertensive participants aged ≥18 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018 with blood lipid testing data and complete follow-up data until 31 December 2019 were enrolled in the analysis.
Association between SOFA score and risk of acute kidney injury in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis: an analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

Introduction: The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a widely utilized clinical tool for evaluating the severity of organ failure in critically ill patients and assessing their condition and prognosis in the intensive care unit (ICU). Research has demonstrated that higher SOFA scores are associated with poorer outcomes in these patients. However, the predictive value of the SOFA score for acute kidney injury (AKI), a common complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), remains uncertain.

Objective: The deterioration of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is associated with abnormal activation of inflammatory pathways. This study aims to evaluate the impact and predictive value of a novel inflammatory marker, the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), on short-term adverse outcomes in ADHF patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1,448 ADHF patients from Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital between 2019-2022.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DMCM), defined as left ventricular dysfunction in the setting of diabetes mellitus without hypertension, coronary artery disease or valvular heart disease, is a well-recognized entity whose prevalence is certainly predicted to increase alongside the rising incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus. The pathophysiology of DMCM stems from hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, resulting in oxidative stress, inflammation, cardiomyocyte death, and fibrosis. These perturbations lead to left ventricular hypertrophy with associated impaired relaxation early in the course of the disease, and eventually culminating in combined systolic and diastolic heart failure.
