Atrial Natriuretic Peptide at Discharge as a Predictive Marker for Early Rehospitalization in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction by Junichi Ohno, Kyung‐Duk Min, Isamu Sunayama, Yuki Matsumoto, Aika Daimon, Eri Manabe, Makiko Oboshi, Kohei Azuma, Masataka Sugahara, Akiyo Eguchi, Yoshiro Naito, Masanori Asakura, Masaharu Ishihara

“…This was confirmed in Cox models using log‐transformed standardized ANP (hazard ratio [HR] per SD, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.34–3.02]; P=0.0008) whereas discharge BNP levels showed weaker predictive value. Discharge ANP remained a significant predictor even after adjusting for age, body mass index, or estimated glomerular filtration ratio, whereas discharge BNP did not. …”

Association between frailty trajectories and stroke incidence among Chinese older adults: evidence from CHARLS 2011–2015 by Yuanying Song, Jianping Liu, Sufang Wang, Haicun Shi, Lijian Han, Lijian Han

“…Subgroup analyses consistently demonstrated significant associations across nearly all demographic and health-related subgroups.ConclusionBoth longitudinal frailty trajectories and baseline frailty index are independently associated with stroke risk in Chinese older adults, with the cluster-based approach showing stronger predictive value. These findings suggest the importance of considering frailty patterns in stroke risk assessment and highlight the potential value of longitudinal frailty monitoring in stroke prevention strategies for aging populations.…”

Prognostic value of preoperative and postoperative serum CEA in colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma by Yanan Zheng, Yang Luo, Zuhong Ji, Ying Pan, Xiaohong Wang, Fang Liu, Lei Liu, Shanshan Shen, Qiang You, Tao Ling, Tao Ling

“…The nomogram model incorporating preCEA (preCEA-model) showed a C-index value of 0.75, whereas the model incorporating postCEA (postCEA-model) exhibited a C-index value of 0.73.ConclusionsBoth preoperative and postoperative elevation of CEA levels were associated with adverse outcomes, with preoperative CEA demonstrating particularly significant predictive value in advanced-stage tumors. These findings propose that CEA could be a valuable tool for dynamically monitoring the prognosis of colorectal SRCC patients.…”
