Background: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), a simple and comprehensive predictor of nutritional and immunological health, is connected to cancer and cardiovascular disease. The effects of PNI on myocardial infarction (MI) in individuals with diabetes remain unclear. Thus, we aim to investigate the correlation of PNI with predictive outcomes in this specific population group to inform therapeutic decision-making.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 417 diabetic patients with MI who underwent coronary angiography intervention at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from May 2017 to May 2020. We collected follow-up and prognostic data from these patients at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post-procedure via outpatient visits or phone interviews. The main focus of the study was on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the two years after surgery. Based on the median PNI, patients were categorized into two groups: high PNI (H-PNI) and low PNI (L-PNI). Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 25.0. Kalpan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were utilized to examine the associations between preoperative PNI and the prognosis of diabetic patients with MI.
Results: In the study, 417 participants were observed for two years. Of these patients, 159 (38.1%) had MACE. According to the Kaplan-Meier curves, patients in the L-PNI group had more MACE than those in the H-PNI group (log-rank p < 0.001) and had a heightened susceptibility to all categories of MACE. After adjusting for confounding variables, the corrected hazard ratio for developing unstable angina in the L-PNI group was 2.55 (95% CI 1.57-4.14, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Low PNI levels are associated with MACE after coronary angiography intervention in diabetic patients with myocardial infarction. This highlights the prognostic value of PNI and broadens its potential use in larger populations.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality; patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at particularly high risk, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification. We investigated whether combining the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) improves CHD detection in T2DM. In this retrospective cohort of 943 T2DM patients undergoing coronary angiography, associations of SHR and SIRI with CHD were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines; robustness was examined with subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect up to 10% of pregnancies and can have adverse short and long-term implications for women and their babies. eHealth interventions include any health service or treatment delivered using the internet and related technology that aims to facilitate, capture, or exchange knowledge. eHealth interventions are increasingly used across many health care settings with improved outcomes.

Aim: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its associated risk factors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent treatment for IBD at Jordan University Hospital between January 2013 and 2022. Case finding methods and clinical chart reviews were used to evaluate the clinical profile of patients with IBD.

Background: Prior studies have implicated diabetes as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, yet the impact of diabetes progression on pancreatic cancer incidence remains unclear. We aim to assess pancreatic cancer risk across different stages of diabetes.
Methods: Employing a predefined search strategy, we conducted a literature review of electronic databases up to 29 February 2024.
