Article Abstract
Background: Anaemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is a major risk factor that contributes to mortality in such patients. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the leading causes of CKD. The association between admission hemoglobin levels and renal damage in patients with T2DM remains unclear.
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between admission hemoglobin levels and prognosis in patients with T2DM.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 265 consecutive patients presenting with T2DM between 2011 and 2015. The composite endpoint was end-stage renal disease or a 50% reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate.
Results: In multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models (adjusting for demographic factors, traditional risk factors, lipids), the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for the highest and middle tertiles compared to the lowest tertile of hemoglobin were 0.82 (95%CI: 0.11-6.26, = 0.8457) and 0.28 (95%CI: 0.09-0.85, = 0.0246), respectively. However, after further adjustment for glycaemia control, hemoglobin was positively related to the risk of the composite endpoint (HR: 1.05, 95%CI: 0.14-8.09, = 0.9602) when the highest tertile was compared to the lowest tertile of hemoglobin. We found a U-shaped relationship between hemoglobin levels and the composite endpoint. The curve tended to reach the lowest level at an optimal hemoglobin level.
Conclusion: Among patients with T2DM, a U-shaped relationship was observed between hemoglobin levels and renal damage. A lower admission hemoglobin level (hemoglobin < 13.3 g/dL) is an independent predictor of renal damage.

Background: This study aims to retrospectively evaluate treatment approaches and clinical outcomes in patients with penetrating abdominal trauma caused by gunshot injuries-one of the most complex and controversial areas in trauma surgery.
Methods: A total of 101 patients diagnosed and treated for penetrating abdominal trauma due to gunshot injuries between 2015 and 2025 were included in the study. Demographic data (age and sex); vital signs at admission to the emergency department (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, body temperature); level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale); hemodynamic status (stability/instability, need for fluid or inotropic support); intra-abdominal (liver, spleen, small intestine, colon, etc.

Purpose: Base deficit (BD) and age shock index have been utilized as an indicator of resuscitation adequacy and a predictor of poor outcomes in trauma cases, respectively. However, evidence regarding their correlation with in-hospital mortality among geriatric major trauma patients remains scarce in the literature.
Methods: This analytical observational study employed a retrospective cohort design involving 82 geriatric major trauma patients treated at our institution between November 2023 and November 2024.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) frequently precipitates stress-induced hyperglycemia, yet the relationship between baseline glycemic control and clinical outcomes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the association between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and clinical outcomes in aSAH patients, with a particular focus on stress-induced hyperglycemia(SIH) patterns.
Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 155 consecutive aSAH patients aged ≥ 18 years.
