Article Abstract
Background: A decrease in the activities of daily living (ADL) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is known to prevent early mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the relationship between ADL prior to myocardial infarction (MI), PCI implementation, and mortality in patients with AMI remains unknown. We investigated the impact of prehospital ADL on PCI implementation and on short- and long-term mortality in patients with AMI.
Methods: We investigated the prehospital ADL in 1479 patients with AMI using data from the Yamagata AMI registry (period: 2015-2017). The patients were divided into three groups (preserved ADL, mildly impaired ADL, and severely impaired ADL) and their clinical characteristics were compared. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to elucidate the association of ADL prior to MI with the PCI implementation and mortality in patients with AMI.
Results: Patients with impaired ADL were older, more likely to be female, less likely to have undergone PCI, and presented with higher acute mortality compared to those with preserved ADL. The proportion of patients with impaired ADL increased with age. Multivariate regression analysis showed that the lack of PCI implementation and prehospital ADL impairment were independent risk factors for acute death in patients with AMI after adjusting for confounding factors. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that impaired ADL was associated with the PCI implementation. Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that prehospital ADL impairment was an independent risk factor for long-term mortality in patients with AMI.
Conclusions: Decreased levels of prehospital ADL were associated with lower PCI implementation and higher mortality in patients-especially older patients-with AMI.

Purpose Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the dominant subtype of renal malignancy, has a rising global incidence and mortality. While surgery is the standard of care for localized cases, adjuvant therapy aims to improve outcomes in high-risk postoperative patients. To quantify the clinical value of adjuvant pharmacotherapy, this systematic review and meta-analysis assesses its effect on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with ccRCC.

Background: Early diagnosis of malnutrition is essential for rapid decision-making regarding nutrition care to improve patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and to assess the association of GLIM with 1-year mortality and length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients admitted to an emergency department (ED).
Methods: Prospective cohort study conducted in the ED of a university hospital.

Background: Intravenous lipid emulsions are a key component of parenteral nutrition, and their fatty acid compositions may influence immune responses and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 compared clinical outcomes of hospitalized non-critical care patients receiving parenteral nutrition with either mixed oil or soybean oil lipid emulsions for at least 48 h. The primary outcome was a composite of the presence of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, or an intra-abdominal collection diagnosed within 14 days of initiating parenteral nutrition.

Background: Inflammation impacts the prognosis of numerous types of tumors. Inflammatory indicators such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, and neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (NER) have emerged as potential prognostic markers and are closely correlated with the outcomes of cancer patients. However, the connection between NER and cancer prognosis remains incompletely understood.

A major cause of cancer death, colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger people. The comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) as surgical interventions for mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains uncertain. To systematically evaluate oncological, perioperative, and survival outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid-low rectal cancer following nCRT.
