Objective: To evaluate the trend of alcohol use disorder (AUD) mortality as a percentage of all-cause mortality in Canada and the United States (US) between 2000 and 2019, by age group.
Results: Joinpoint regression showed that AUD mortality as a percentage of all-cause mortality significantly increased between 2000 and 2019 in both countries, and across all age groups (i.e., young adults (20-34 years), middle-aged adults (35-49 years), and older adults (50 + years)). The trend has been levelling off, and even reversing in some cases, in recent years. The average annual percentage change differed across countries and between age groups, with a greater increase among Canadian adults aged 35-49 years and among adults aged 50 + years in the US. Over the past two decades, AUD mortality as a percentage of all-cause mortality has been increasing among all adults in both Canada and the US.

Aims: Currently, there is a lack of evidence regarding time in tight range (TITR) and long-term adverse outcomes. We aimed to investigate the association between TITR and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 6061 patients with type 2 diabetes were prospectively recruited in a single centre.

Background: Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has been linked with higher risk of mortality. This multi-centre study investigated associations between food intake by degree of processing, using the Nova classification, and all-cause and cause-specific mortality.
Methods: This study analyzed data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a life-threatening disease that was declared a pandemic in March 2020. Organ transplant recipients are vulnerable to infection and complications from COVID-19. The objective of this study was to investigate the rates of infection, mortality, and case-fatality ratios (CFR) in solid organ transplant recipients and patients on the waiting list for organ allocation in the period prior to the availability of specific vaccines.

Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a novel inflammatory biomarker and correlated with the progression and clinical outcomes of many diseases. This investigation aimed to clarified the association between NPAR and mortality risk among hypertension patients. The database of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey provided the patient data for hypertension.
