MORTALITY

Impact of Annual Dry Weight Changes on Mortality and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Haemodialysis.

BACKGROUND

While obesity confers a survival advantage, weight loss adversely affects the survival of patients undergoing haemodialysis. However, given the limited information regarding its long-term effects on mortality and cardiovascular events, the health benefits of weight gain remain uncertain, particularly in...

Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Radiation Attenuation Is Associated With Increased 1-Year Mortality in Polytrauma Patients.

BACKGROUND

Polytrauma patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16 have a high mortality rate. Early identification of patients at risk of mortality is key. Different risk stratification models are available; however, body composition on third lumbar computed tomography (L3 CT) is...

The Prognostic Role of Frailty and Its Recognition With Simple FRAIL and Fried Frailty Questionnaires in Advanced Cancer Patients.

BACKGROUND

Patients with advanced cancer frequently suffer from frailty associated with vulnerability and adverse outcomes. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of frailty and elucidate the utility of two commonly used frailty questionnaires in an advanced cancer population.

METHODS

The Fried Frailty...

Sarcopenia and Its Individual Traits Independently Predict Mortality in Patients on Dialysis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND

Loss of muscle mass, muscle weakness and the combination of the two are commonly observed in patients on dialysis and may have a negative impact on their survival. In this systematic review and meta-analysis (MA), we evaluated the consistency and...

High "sarcopenia index" reduce all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUNDThe product of serum creatinine and cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (hereinafter referred to as "Cr × eGFRcys"), serving as the formula for the Sarcopenia Index (SI), could be regarded as a representative marker for sarcopenia. However, no studies...

The Combination of Fat Distribution and BMI Redefines Obesity: Result From NHANES.

Body mass index (BMI) has well-recognized limitations, particularly in the context of the 'obesity paradox', where higher BMI does not consistently evaluate adverse outcomes. These limitations underscore the need for alternative approaches. This study aimed to redefine obesity using anthropometric...

TAVI Success Is More Than Just the Valve: CT-Derived Sarcopenia as a Major Determinant of Long-Term Survival.

Sarcopenia, characterized by progressive skeletal muscle loss, is a silent yet powerful marker associated with survival, yet its impact on long-term outcomes in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains underestimated. While frailty has been recognized as a main factor of...

Interactions between bone density and muscle mass in predicting all-cause mortality: a 10-year prospective cohort study of 1388 older men (aged 77-101 years).

Low bone density and low muscle mass are both independent risk factors for mortality in older men. However, it is unknown if these tissues interact to increase mortality risk. Elucidating this information is important as bone and muscle are modifiable...
