Correlation between estimated glucose disposal rate, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular mortality among individuals with metabolic syndrome: a population-based analysis, eviden... by Dawei Xing, Jing Xu, Xiaochun Weng, Xiaolu Weng

“…Multivariate Cox regression analysis and restricted cubic splines analysis demonstrated that eGDR is non-linearly correlated with both the mortality of CVD (HR: 0.906, 95% CI: 0.850–0.967, p = 0.003) and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.944, 95% CI: 0.912–0.977, p = 0.001), with an identified inflection point at 5.918. Further subgroup analyses indicated a more pronounced correlation between eGDR and all-cause mortality in individuals under 60 years old (HR: 0.893, 95%CI:0.823–0.970) or those with obesity (HR:0.891, 95%CI:0.839–0.946). …”

“…Patient mortality risk increased significantly when ln-transformed NPAR levels exceeded 1.2 (HR range 3.366–4.304, p < 0.001 for all). Additionally, subgroup analyses did not reveal any significant interactions, indicating that the predictive effect of NPAR on mortality risk is relatively consistent across different subgroups. …”

Need to clamp indwelling urinary catheters before removal after different durations: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Xiaoyan Fan, Sumin Ma, Jiayi Gu

“…The pooled results of the meta-analysis showed that the clamping group had a significantly higher risk of urinary tract infections (RR=1.47; 95% CI 1.26 to 1.72; p&lt;0.00001) and a longer hour to first void (SMD=0.19; 95% CI 0.08 to 0.29; p=0.0004) compared with the free drainage group. Subgroup analysis of indwelling urinary catheter use durations of ≤7 days indicated that clamping significantly increased the risk of urinary tract infection (RR=1.69; 95% CI 1.42 to 2.02, p&lt;0.00001) and lengthens the interval to first void (SMD=0.26, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.41, p=0.0008) compared with free drainage.Conclusions Bladder training by clamping indwelling urinary catheters increases the incidence of urinary tract infection and lengthens the hours to first void in patients with indwelling urinary catheters use durations of ≤7 days compared with the free drainage. …”
