Background: Previous studies indicated discrete lifestyle health metrics that benefit cardiovascular health are associated with better prognosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), while evidence regarding the comprehensive impact of cardiovascular health remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between the overall cardiovascular health indicator, Life's Essential 8 (LE8), and the adverse outcomes of IBD.
Materials And Methods: We included 3,232 IBD participants recruited from the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2010. LE8 encompasses 8 metrics, including physical activity, diet, sleep health, nicotine exposure, body mass index, blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure. The adverse outcomes studied in our study included IBD-related surgery and all-cause mortality. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the strength of the associations between LE8 score and IBD-related surgery as well as all-cause mortality were calculated using Cox proportional hazard models.
Results: Over a mean (standard deviation) follow-up of 12.60 (2.74) years and 13.17 (1.89) years, 282 IBD-related surgery and 259 death events were recorded. UC patients with a high LE8 score showed decreased risk of IBD-related surgery (HR 0.47, 95% CI 0.26, 0.87) and all-cause mortality (HR 0.47, 95% CI 0.25, 0.87), in comparison to those with a low LE8 score. No significant associations were observed between LE8 score and the risk of IBD-related surgery and all-cause mortality among CD in the primary analyses.
Conclusion: Participants with a higher LE8 score showed decreased risk of IBD-related surgery and all-cause mortality among UC, but not CD, underscoring the significance of implementing LE8 as a management approach in improving the prognosis of UC.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the deadliest respiratory viruses. There is a need to better identify prognostic factors in RSV-infected patients, particularly those requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, with a focus on immunosuppressed patients.
Methods: Multicenter, retrospective cohort study of RSV-infected adults hospitalized in 17 ICUs in the Great Paris area between 08/01/2017 and 05/01/2023.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) refers to the ratio of afterload (effective arterial elastance) to contractility (end-systolic elastance) as an integrated marker of cardiac performance. We sought to determine whether the echocardiographic VAC ratio, defined using the ratio of LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) to stroke volume (SV), predicted mortality in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU).
Methods: Mayo Clinic CICU patients from 2007 and 2018 were included.

Background: Prior studies of participants with breast and other obesity-associated cancers in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) showed worse mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes for individuals with a higher number of cardiometabolic risk factors at study entry. The purpose of this analysis is to compare the relationship between cardiometabolic abnormalities and mortality among women with and without cancer in the WHI.
Methods: Women with one of five early-stage obesity-associated cancers (breast, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and controls without any new or prior history of cancer were selected from the WHI-Life and Longevity after Cancer ancillary study.

Sleep duration is a crucial factor influencing health outcomes, yet its relationship with mortality remains debated. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the association between short and long sleep duration and all-cause mortality in adults, including sex-specific differences. A systematic search was performed in multiple databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science, up to October 2024.

Introduction: Outcome prediction research in early-onset breast cancer (EoBC) is limited. This study evaluated the predictive performance of NHS PREDICT v2.1 and developed two prediction models for 5-year and 10-year all-cause mortality in a cohort of EoBC patients in Alberta, Canada.
