AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to investigate how in-hospital declines in hemoglobin levels affect long-term mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • Researchers categorized patients based on hemoglobin decline into low (<3 g/dl or no decline) and high (≥3 g/dl) groups, analyzing their mortality and MACCE rates.
  • Findings revealed that patients with high hemoglobin decline experienced significantly higher mortality (65%) and MACCE rates (71%) compared to those with low decline, suggesting a concerning link between hemoglobin decline and adverse outcomes in STEMI patients after PCI.

Article Abstract

Objective: To explore the association between in-hospital haemoglobin decline and long-term mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) among ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: This retrospective analysis included adult patients who underwent primary PCI for STEMI. Haemoglobin levels were recorded at admission and 48-72 h later. Patients were divided into two groups based on the extent of haemoglobin decline: low (<3 g/dl or no decline) and high (≥3 g/dl). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at long-term follow-up. The secondary endpoint was MACCE.

Results: Patients were divided into two groups: low group ( = 665) and high group ( = 111). The mortality rate was significantly higher in the high group (72 of 111 patients; 65%) than in the low group (185 of 655 patients; 28%). Propensity score matching confirmed this association, with higher mortality (41 of 79 patients [52%] versus 25 of 79 patients [32%]) and MACCE rates (56 of 79 patients [71%] versus 41 of 79 patients [52%]) in the high group compared with the low group, respectively.

Conclusion: There was a significant association between in-hospital haemoglobin decline, even without visible bleeding, and increased long-term mortality and MACCE in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.

Introduction: Recently, efforts to eliminate malaria have shifted focus from symptomatic cases alone to include asymptomatic carriers, who are now recognized as significant contributors to the disease's transmission and control. This study examines the relationship between asymptomatic malaria infection and hemoglobin levels in Benin.

Methods: A cohort in Benin was enrolled and categorized into three age groups (under 5 years, 5-15 years, and over 15 years) for follow-up from August to November 2021.

Division of Clinical Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan.

Introduction: After Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is the second most common form of early-onset dementia. Despite the heavy burden of care for FTLD, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments with sufficient efficacy remain scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a multimodal exercise program for FTLD and to examine preliminary changes in the clinical outcomes of the program in FTLD.

Preservation of residual kidney function (RKF) is important in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). We aimed to examine the association between anemia management and residual urine output using data from a nationwide survey of dialysis patients. After excluding patients with anuria at baseline from the Total cohort of 2,712, 659 of 1,640 patients developed anuria during a median follow-up of 2.
