Study on the predictive ability of emergency CHADS < sub > 2 < /sub > score and CHA < sub > 2 < /sub > DS < sub > 2 < /sub > -VASc score for coronary artery disease and prognosis in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple factors jointly affect the severity and prognosis of CAD in patients with acute STEMI. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is better than the CHADS2 score in predicting the severity of coronary artery lesions and prognosis of patients, providing theoretical support for clinical practice.PMID:35928606 | PMC:PMC9344425 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-22-763

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder in the population-a review on the epidemiology of sleep apnea.
Authors: Franklin KA, Lindberg E Abstract The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) defined at an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5 was a mean of 22% (range, 9-37%) in men and 17% (range, 4-50%) in women in eleven published epidemiological studies published between 1993 and 2013. OSA with excessive daytime sleepiness occurred in 6% (range, 3-18%) of men and in 4% (range, 1-17%) of women. The prevalence increased with time and OSA was reported in 37% of men and in 50% of women in studies from 2008 and 2013 respectively. OSA is more prevalent in men than in women and increases with age and obesity. Smoking and al...

Analysis of the clinical features and risk factors of kidney injury in patients with chronic heart failure-a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Kidney injury occurred in more than half of the patients with CHF during hospitalization. The independent risk factors for kidney injury in the CHF patients included sex (male), hypertension, and stroke. Kidney injury was positively correlated with age and serum potassium, and negatively correlated with serum albumin, hemoglobin concentration, LVEF, and ARB application.PMID:37559657 | PMC:PMC10407521 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1016
