Background: The impact of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on the prognosis of patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (AAAD) remains unclear. This study sought to explore the predictive value of GNRI for in-hospital mortality in patients with AAAD.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgery for AAAD from January 2014 to December 2022. Based on the median GNRI score, patients were stratified into high GNRI (> 103.7) and low GNRI (≤ 103.7) groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between GNRI and in-hospital mortality.
Results: A total of 936 patients were included, with a mean age of 52.7 ± 11.6 years. The mean GNRI was 103.8 ± 11.3, and patients were stratified into low GNRI (n = 472, 50.4%) and high GNRI (n = 464, 49.6%) groups. The low GNRI group had a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate than the high GNRI group (23.1% vs. 17.5%, P = 0.032). Multivariate logistic regression identified GNRI ≤ 103.7 as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality (OR = 2.037, 95%CI:1.110-3.740, P = 0.022). CPB time (OR = 1.005, 95%CI: 1.001-1.009, P = 0.022), and lactate levels (OR = 1.221, 95%CI: 1.144-1.302, P < 0.001) were also independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality. The AUC of the logistic model was 0.811.
Conclusion: The GNRI is a validated nutritional assessment tool, and AAAD patients with a GNRI ≤ 103.7 havesignificantly higher in-hospital mortality rate. These findings highlight the importance of preoperative nutritional assessment and optimization to improve outcomes for AAAD patients.

To analyze in-hospital mortality in children undergoing congenital heart interventions in the only public referral center in Amazonas, North Brazil, between 2014 and 2022. This retrospective cohort study included 1041 patients undergoing cardiac interventions for congenital heart disease, of whom 135 died during hospitalization. Records were reviewed to obtain demographic, clinical, and surgical data.

Importance: Lower survival rates among Black adults relative to White adults after in-hospital cardiac arrest are well-described, but these findings have not been consistently replicated in pediatric studies.
Objective: To use a large, national, population-based inpatient database to evaluate the associations between in-hospital mortality in children receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and patient race or ethnicity, patient insurance status, and the treating hospital's proportion of Black and publicly insured patients.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective population-based cohort study used the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database (1997-2019 triennial versions).

Importance: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an underdiagnosed but treatable cause of heart failure (HF) in older individuals that occurs in the context of normal wild-type (ATTRwt-CA) or an abnormal inherited (ATTRv-CA) TTR gene variant. While the most common inherited TTR variant, V142I, occurs in 3% to 4% of self-identified Black Americans and is associated with excess morbidity and mortality, the prevalence of ATTR-CA in this at-risk population is unknown.
Objective: To define the prevalence of ATTR-CA and proportions attributable to ATTRwt-CA or ATTRv-CA among older Black and Caribbean Hispanic individuals with HF.

Background: Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological cancer, with fewer than 50% of patients surviving more than five years after diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the global epidemiological trends of ovarian cancer from 1990 to 2021 and also project its prevalence to 2050, providing insights into these evolving patterns and helping health policymakers use healthcare resources more effectively.
Methods: This study comprehensively analyzes the original data related to ovarian cancer from the GBD 2021 database, employing a variety of methods including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, age-period-cohort (APC) analysis, decomposition analysis, predictive analysis, frontier analysis, and health inequality analysis.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a fairly new class of agents for diabetes that have demonstrated significant benefits in glycemic control and cardiovascular outcomes with outpatient use. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the effect of SGLT2i use on glycemic control and clinical outcomes in the hospital setting.An electronic search of PubMed was conducted to analyze publications that assessed the inpatient use of SGLT2i and included patients with diabetes.
