Article Abstract
Scarce data exist on the prognostic impact of type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with AF. The Nationwide Readmission Database 2018 was queried for primary AF hospitalizations with and without type 2 MI. Complex samples multivariable logistic and linear regression models were used to determine the association between type 2 MI and outcomes (in-hospital mortality, index length of stay [LOS], hospital costs, discharge to nursing facility, and 30-day all-cause readmissions). Of 382,896 weighted primary AF hospitalizations included in this study, 7,375 (1.9%) had type 2 MI. AF with type 2 MI is associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR [aOR] 1.76; 95% CI 1.30 to 2.38), LOS (adjusted parameter estimate [aPE] 0.48; 95% CI 0.35 to 0.62), hospital costs (aPE 1307.75; 95% CI 986.05 to 1647.44), discharges to nursing facility (aOR 1.38; 95% CI 1.24 to 1.54), and 30-day all-cause readmissions (adjusted hazard ratio 1.17; 95% CI 1.07 to 1.27) compared to AF without type 2 MI. Heart failure, chronic kidney disease, neurologic disorders, and age (per year) were identified as independent predictors of mortality among AF patients with type 2 MI. In conclusion, type 2 MI in the setting of AF hospitalization is associated with high in-hospital mortality and increased resource utilization.

Implementation of a midwifery preceptor program in Sierra Leone: a qualitative evaluation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

Background: Sierra Leone has the world's third highest incidence of maternal mortality, with 443 deaths per 100,000 live births. Strengthening the country's midwifery workforce is essential to providing adequate maternal healthcare and reducing preventable perinatal mortality. In support of this goal, we developed and implemented a midwifery preceptor program (MPP) to train experienced midwives to effectively mentor new and student midwives.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between body roundness index (BRI) and deaths from all causes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Materials And Methods: The data was sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018. Cox proportional hazards regression along with restricted cubic splines were applied to assess the associations of BRI with deaths from all causes and CVD in individuals with CKD.

The Grams model, designed to predict adverse event risks in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, was evaluated in a Chinese cohort of 1,333 patients with eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73 m. The model demonstrated moderate to good discrimination across outcomes, performing well in predicting kidney replacement therapy (KRT) but overestimating the risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality.

Intestinal perforation occurring in extremely low gestational age neonates is a devastating complication, associated with high mortality and morbidity. Multiple phenotypes of bowel perforation in premature infants have been described, with the most common being spontaneous, or isolated, intestinal perforation and perforated necrotizing enterocolitis. The purpose of this article is to summarize literature describing "meconium obstruction of prematurity", increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical phenotype in the smallest and most immature neonates.
