Studies of large CF populations using registry data are important to identify people at high risk for death. Nkam et al. published a prognostic score developed on French CF registry data to predict death or lung transplantation (LT) over a 3-year period in the adult CF population. The goal of our study was to validate the proposed tool using the Canadian CF registry. Using data between 2011 and 2014, a total of 2043 adult CF patients were included. We found that the French prognostic score was a good predictor of death or LT in the Canadian CF population (OR for each unit increase: 3.12, 95% CI: 2.74-3.55; p value < 0.001). The proposed prognostic score accurately categorizes patients when applied to an external dataset. This score provides an important tool for early identification of patients at high risk for death or LT, in whom specific therapeutic intervention can be proposed.

Background: Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) is a critical medical emergency and is a common cause of illness and death in individuals with liver cirrhosis.
Objective: The point of this study was to check how well the albumin-to-bilirubin ratio (ALBI) and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores could predict how these patients would do in the future.
Methods: The Imam Khomeini Hospital gastroenterology department conducted a retrospective examination.

BackgroundChronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a severe form of peripheral artery disease (PAD), results in significant morbidity and mortality. The Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) is a new tool designed to predict outcomes in CLTI patients undergoing endovascular treatments, yet its relationship with short-term outcomes requires further investigation.ObjectiveThis study evaluates the correlation between GLASS staging and short-term outcomes in CLTI patients treated with endovascular procedures for infrainguinal lesions.

Objective: To develop a novel prognostic scoring system for severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy, aiming to optimize risk mitigation strategies and improve clinical management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 125 B-ALL patients who received anti-CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy from January 2017 to October 2023. These cases were selected from a cohort of over 500 treated patients on the basis of the availability of comprehensive baseline data, documented CRS grading, and at least 3 months of follow-up.

Approximately 30-40% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients will develop relapse/refractory disease, who may benefit from novel therapies, such as CAR-T cell therapy. Thus, accurate identification of individuals at high risk of early chemoimmunotherapy failure (ECF) is crucial. Methods.

Background And Aims: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by acute myocardial inflammation and cardiogenic shock. Evidence on long-term outcomes, mortality risk factors, and targeted treatment options remains limited.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included consecutive adult patients admitted for FM between January 2012 and November 2022 at 26 European tertiary centres.
