Upchurch, Jr, MD, Azra Bihorac, MD

“…In a fair system, overtriage of low-acuity patients to intensive care units (ICUs) and undertriage of high-acuity patients to general wards would affect all sociodemographic subgroups equally. Methods:. This multicenter, longitudinal cohort study of hospital admissions immediately after major surgery compared hospital mortality and value of care (risk-adjusted mortality/total costs) across 4 cohorts: overtriage (N = 660), risk-matched overtriage controls admitted to general wards (N = 3077), undertriage (N = 2335), and risk-matched undertriage controls admitted to ICUs (N = 4774). …”

Associations of Serum Cystatin C, DNAm Cystatin C, Renal Function, and Mortality in U.S. Adults by Yu-Wei Fang, Wei-Chung Huang, Chikang Wang, Chien-Yu Lin

“…Furthermore, individuals with serum cystatin C and DNAmCystatinC levels above the 50th percentile showed the highest all-cause mortality risk when compared to other subgroups. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that DNAmCystatinC is a stronger predictor of all-cause mortality than serum cystatin C, with potential additive effects when both biomarkers are considered together. …”

“…Here, we determined whether an association exists between DTR and CM hospitalisations in vulnerable populations.Methods: CM admission data (2016– 2021) were collected from seven tertiary hospitals in Henan.We used a GAM combined with a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) to investigate the delayed effects of DTR on daily hospitalisations for CM.Stratified analysis was performed in subgroups according to sex, age, and season. Attributable fractions (AF) and attributable numbers (AN) were employed to illustrate the disease burden and investigate the association between temperature and DTR.Results: Overall, 5,757 CM cases were identified. …”
