Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication of hemodialysis (HD), but there is no consensus on its definition. In 2015, Flythe proposed a definition of IDH (Definition 1 in this study): nadir systolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 mmHg during hemodialysis for patients with pre-dialysis SBP <159 mmHg, and nadir SBP <100 mmHg during hemodialysis for patients with pre-dialysis SBP ≥160 mmHg. This prospective observational cohort study investigated the association of frequent IDH based on Definition 1 with clinical outcomes and compared Definition 1 with a commonly used definition (nadir SBP <90 mmHg during hemodialysis, Definition 2). The incidence of IDH was observed over a 3-month exposure assessment period. Patients with IDH events ≥30% were classified as 'frequent IDH'; the others were 'infrequent IDH'. All-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause hospitalization events were followed up for 36 months. This study enrolled 163 HD patients. The incidence of IDH was 11.1% according to Definition 1 and 10.5% according to Definition 2. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that frequent IDH patients had higher risks of all-cause mortality (p = 0.009, Definition 1; p = 0.002, Definition 2) and cardiovascular mortality (p = 0.021, Definition 1). Multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that frequent IDH was independently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (Model 1: HR = 2.553, 95%CI 1.334-4.886, p = 0.005; Model 2: HR = 2.406, 95%CI 1.253-4.621, p = 0.008). In conclusion, HD patients classified as frequent IDH are at a greater risk of all-cause mortality. This highlights the significance of acknowledging and proactively managing frequent IDH within the HD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma volume (PV) calculated from hematocrit and body weight has applications in cardiovascular disease. The current study investigated the validity of the calculated PV for predicting volume overload and its prognostic utility in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-four HD patients were prospectively enrolled, and their actual PV (aPV) and relative PV status (PVS) were calculated. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with assessment of and total body water (TBW), intracellular water (ICW), extracellular water (ECW), and overhydration (OH) and routine blood examinations were performed before dialysis. A second cohort of 164 HD patients was retrospectively enrolled to evaluate the relationship between the calculated PVS and the outcome, with an endpoint of all-cause mortality. RESULTS aPV was significantly associated with TBW, ICW, ECW, OH, and ECW/TBW (all p < 0.001), and most strongly with ECW (r = 0.83). aPV predicted the extent of volume overload with an AUC of 0.770 (p < 0.001), but PVS did not (AUC = 0.617, p = 0.091). Median follow-up time was 53 months, during the course of which 60 (36.58%) patients died. Values for PVS (12.94 ± 10.87% vs. 7.45 ± 5.90%, p = 0.024) and time-averaged PVS (12.83 ± 11.20 vs. 6.78 ± 6.22%, p < 0.001) were significantly increased in patients who died relative to those who survived. A value of time-averaged PVS >8.72% was significantly associated with an increased incidence of all-cause mortality (HR = 2.48, p = 0.0023). CONCLUSIONS aPV was most strongly associated with ECW measured using BIA. HD patients with higher time-averaged PVS had a higher rate of all-cause mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study presented here aimed to establish a predictive model for heart failure (HF) and all-cause mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with machine learning (ML) algorithm. METHODS We retrospectively included 1006 patients who initiated PD from 2010 to 2016. XGBoost, random forest (RF), and AdaBoost were used to train models for assessing risk for 1-year and 5-year HF hospitalization and mortality. The performance was validated using fivefold cross-validation. The optimal ML algorithm was used to construct the models to predictive the risk of the HF and all-cause mortality. The prediction performance of ML methods and Cox regression was compared. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 49 months. Two hundred and ninety-eight patients developed HF required hospitalization; 199 patients died during the follow-up. The RF model (AUC = 0.853) was the best performing model for predicting HF, and the XGBoost model (AUC = 0.871) was the best model for predicting mortality. Baseline moderate or severe renal disease, systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass index (BMI), age, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score were strongly associated with HF hospitalization, whereas age, CCI score, creatinine, age, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were the most significant predictors of mortality. For all the above endpoints, the ML models demonstrated better discrimination than Cox regression. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated a novel method to predict the risk factors of HF and all-cause mortality that integrates readily available clinical, laboratory, and electrocardiographic variables to predict the risk of HF among PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Previous studies have demonstrated that platelet distribution width (PDW) is associated with cardiovascular events in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this study, we hypothesized that elevated PDW can predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in PD patients. METHODS We recruited PD patients for a single-center retrospective cohort study from 1 January 2007, to 30 June 2020. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were made to determine the PDW cutoff value for predicting all-cause mortality. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to improve the equilibrium between groups. The relation of PDW with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards models. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to determine whether there was a linear relationship between PDW and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS A total of 720 PD patients were screened, and 426 PD patients were enrolled after PSM. After adjusting for confounders, Cox proportional hazards models showed that the PDW value was positively correlated with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (HR = 1.162, 95% CI 1.057-1.278, p = 0.002 and HR = 1.200, 95% CI 1.041-1.382, p = 0.012). The adjusted RCS analysis further showed that the relationship of PDW with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality was linear (p for nonlinearly = 0.143 and 0.062). CONCLUSION Elevated PDW is independently associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare the cardiovascular events and mortality in patients who underwent either physician-oriented or patient-oriented kidney replacement therapy (KRT) conversion due to discontinuation of peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS Patients with end-stage kidney disease who were receiving PD and required a switch to an alternative KRT were included. They were divided into physician-oriented group or patient-oriented group based on the decision-making process. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors related to KRT conversion in PD patients. The association of physician-oriented or patient-oriented KRT conversion with outcomes after the conversion was assessed by using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS A total of 257 PD patients were included in the study. The median age at catheterization was 35 years. 69.6% of the participants were male. The median duration of PD was 20 months. 162 participants had patient-oriented KRT conversion, while 95 had physician-oriented KRT conversion. Younger patients, those with higher education levels, higher income, and no diabetes were more likely to have patient-oriented KRT conversion. Over a median follow-up of 39 months, 40 patients experienced cardiovascular events and 16 patients died. Physician-oriented KRT conversion increased nearly 3.8-fold and 4.0-fold risk of cardiovascular events and death, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, physician-oriented KRT conversion remained about a 3-fold risk of cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION Compared to patient-oriented KRT conversion, PD patients who underwent physician-oriented conversion had higher risks of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Factors included age at catheterization, education level, annual household income, and history of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction is a common complication in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Elevated serum levels of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) are associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality. However, its association with vascular access outcomes remains elusive. The present study evaluated the relationship of serum FGF21 levels with AVF dysfunction and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing MHD. METHODS We included patients undergoing MHD using AVF from January 2018 to December 2019. FGF21 concentration was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients were followed up to record two clinical outcomes, AVF functional patency loss and all-cause mortality. The follow-up period ended on April 30, 2022. RESULTS Among 147 patients, the mean age was 58.49 ± 14.41 years, and the median serum level of FGF21 was 150.15 (70.57-318.01) pg/mL. During the median follow-up period of 40.83 months, the serum level of FGF21 was an independent risk factor for AVF functional patency loss (per 1 pg/mL increase, HR 1.002 [95% CI: 1.001-1.003, p = 0.003]). Patients with higher serum levels of FGF21 were more likely to suffer from all-cause mortality (per 1 pg/mL increase, HR 1.002 [95% CI: 1.000-1.003, p = 0.014]). The optimal cutoffs for FGF21 to predict AVF functional patency loss and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing MHD were 149.98 pg/mL and 146.43 pg/mL, with AUCs of 0.701 (95% CI: 0.606-0.796, p < 0.001) and 0.677 (95% CI: 0.595-0.752, p = 0.002), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Serum FGF21 levels were an independent risk factor and predictor for AVF functional patency loss and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing MHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality risk varies considerably among individual dialysis patients. This study aimed to develop a user-friendly predictive model for predicting all-cause mortality among dialysis patients. METHODS Retrospective data regarding dialysis patients were obtained from two hospitals. Patients in training cohort (N = 1421) were recruited from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, and patients in external validation cohort (N = 429) were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The follow-up endpoint event was all-cause death. Variables were selected by LASSO-Cox regression, and the model was constructed by Cox regression, which was presented in the form of nomogram and web-based tool. The discrimination and accuracy of the prediction model were assessed using C-indexes and calibration curves, while the clinical value was assessed by decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS The best predictors of 1-, 3-, and 5-year all-cause mortality contained nine independent factors, including age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, urine volume, hemoglobin (HGB), albumin (ALB), and pleural effusion (PE). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year C-indexes in the training set (0.840, 0.866, and 0.846, respectively) and validation set (0.746, 0.783, and 0.741, respectively) were consistent with comparable performance. According to the calibration curve, the nomogram predicted survival accurately matched the actual survival rate. The DCA showed the nomogram got more clinical net benefit in both the training and validation sets. CONCLUSIONS The effective and convenient nomogram may help clinicians quantify the risk of mortality in maintenance dialysis patients.

Abstract
This study investigates sex differences in the effects of macronutrient quantity, quality, and timing on mortality in metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO) populations. The study included 18,345 participants, including 9204 men and 9141 women. The Cox proportional risk model and isocaloric substitution effects were used to examine the association of macronutrient intake and subtype with all-cause mortality in the MUO populations. After adjusting for the potential covariates, The risk of all-cause mortality was elevated in men in the highest 25% percentile of poor-quality carbohydrates compared with men in the lowest quartile (odds ratio [OR]: 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.40-2.98). Compared with women in the lowest quartile, the risk of all-cause mortality for women in the highest 25% percentile for high-quality carbohydrates (OR: 0.74; 95% CI, 0.55-0.99) and unsaturated fatty acids (OR: 0.54; 95% CI, 0.32-0.93) were decreased. In women, replacing low-quality carbohydrates with high-quality carbohydrates on an isocaloric basis reduces the risk of all-cause mortality by approximately 9%. We find that different macronutrient consumption subtypes are associated with all-cause mortality in MUO populations, with differential effects between men and women, and that the risk of all-cause mortality is influenced by macronutrient quality and meal timing.

Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is associated with incident atrial fibrillation (AF). The influence of heart rate at rest (RHR) on incident AF in patients with DD has not been investigated. The goal of this study is to assess the influence of RHR on incident AF in patients with DD. Patients from a large health system with no previous history of AF, a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%, and documented DD on echocardiography were divided into quartiles (<66, 66 to 76, 77 to 91, >91 beats per minute) based on RHR. Incident AF was estimated using AF hospitalization during follow-up. Hazard ratios (HR) for AF hospitalization and all-cause death were calculated with a Cox proportional hazards model. A total of 19,046 patients were analyzed. Over a median follow-up of 42.2 months, 742 (3.9%) patients were hospitalized for AF. Both slower and faster RHR were associated with increased risk of AF hospitalization (HR 1.40, confidence interval [CI] 1.14 to 1.71, p = 0.001, HR 1.23, CI 0.99 to 1.53, p = 0.06 and HR 1.72, CI 1.38 to 2.14, p <0.001, for quartiles 1, 2, and 4, respectively), suggesting a J-shaped relation. Progressive increase in all-cause death was noted with faster RHR (HR1.19 per quartile increase, CI 1.16 to 1.22, p <0.001). These results persisted after adjustment for age, cardiovascular co-morbidities, grade of DD, and β-blocker use. In conclusion, this large, real-world analysis indicates increased risk of incident AF with slower and faster RHR in patients with DD. Randomized trials are needed to evaluate the potential of RHR modification to mitigate the risk of incident AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have assessed the comprehensive associations among comorbid diseases in elderly patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study sought to identify potential comorbidity patterns and explore the relationship of comorbidity patterns with the mortality risk in elderly patients with NPC. METHODS A total of 452 elderly patients with NPC were enrolled in the study. The network analysis and latent class analysis were applied to mine comorbidity patterns. Propensity score matching was used for adjusting confounders. A restricted cubic spline model was used to analyze the nonlinear association between age and the risk of all-cause mortality. RESULTS We identified 2 comorbidity patterns, metabolic disease-related comorbidity (MDRC) and organ disease-related comorbidity (ODRC) in elderly patients with NPC. Patients in MDRC showed a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality (71.41% vs 87.97%, HR 1.819 [95% CI, 1.106-2.994], P = .031) and locoregional relapse (68.73% vs 80.88%, HR 1.689 [95% CI, 1.055-2.704], P = .042). Moreover, in patients with MDRC pattern, we observed an intriguing inverted S-shaped relationship between age and all-cause mortality among patients aged 68 years and older. The risk of mortality up perpetually with age increasing in ODRC group, specifically within the age range of 68-77 years (HR 4.371, 1.958-9.757). CONCLUSION Our study shed light on the potential comorbidity patterns in elderly patients with NPC, thereby providing valuable insights into the development of comprehensive health management strategies for this specific population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While the association between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and cardiovascular events has been thoroughly examined, there is still a scarcity of research regarding their impact on the long-term prognosis in diabetic patients. METHOD Herein, a total of 16,539 eligible individuals were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2018, and categorized into T1, T2, and T3 based on the tertiles of n-3 PUFA. The Cox proportional risk regression models, Kaplan-Meier curve, and subgroup analysis were conducted to evaluate the association between n-3 PUFA and mortality. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves graphically demonstrated the dose-response relationship. Additionally, weighted quantile sum (WQS) models were adopted to measure the mixed and individual effects of n-3 PUFA on mortality. RESULTS Following a median follow-up period of 8.42 years, 3,010 individuals died, with 989 deaths attributed to cardiovascular diseases. Significantly lower risk of all-cause [T2: 0.81 (0.71, 0.92), T3: 0.77 (0.64, 0.94)] and cardiovascular [T2: 0.75 (0.61, 0.93)] mortality was observed after adjusting for multivariable compared to the reference (T1). Meanwhile, the RCS curve revealed a negative non-linear association between the n-3 PUFA and mortality. None of the interactions in any subgroup analysis were statistically significant except for BMI (p for interaction = 0.049). Finally, the WQS analysis demonstrated alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) as the main contributors to the n-3 PUFA benefits against mortality. CONCLUSIONS Increased dietary intake of n-3 PUFA, particularly ALA and DPA, was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among Americans with prediabetes and diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elucidate the prognostic role of Masked Morning Hypertension (MMH) in non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD). METHODS 2,130 NDD-CKD patients of inpatient department were categorized into four blood pressure groups: clinical normotension (CH-), clinical hypertension (CH+) with morning hypertension (MH+), and without MH+ (MH-) respectively. The correlation between these four blood pressure types and the primary (all-cause mortality) and secondary endpoints (cardio-cerebrovascular disease [CVD] and end-stage kidney disease [ESKD]) was analyzed. RESULTS The prevalences of morning hypertension and masked morning hypertension were 47.4% and 14.98%, respectively. Morning hypertension independently increased the risk of all-cause mortality (P=0.004) and CVD (P<0.001) but not ESKD (P=0.092). Masked morning hypertension was associated with heightened all-cause mortality (HR = 4.22, 95% CI = 1.31-13.59; P=0.02) and CVD events (HR = 5.14, 95% CI = 1.37-19.23; P=0.02), with no significant association with ESKD (HR = 1.18, 95% CI = 0.65-2.15; P=0.60). When considering non-CVD deaths as a competing risk factor, a high cumulative incidence of CVD events was observed in the masked morning hypertension group (HR = 5.16, 95% CI = 1.39-19.08). CONCLUSIONS MMH is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and combined cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in NDD-CKD patients, underscoring its prognostic significance. This highlights the need for comprehensive management of morning hypertension in this population.

Abstract
At least 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is 1 of the standards of care following percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, study on prolonged DAPT for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) without revascularization is limited. We studied 1,744 patients with AMI without revascularization from the China Acute Myocardial Infarction registry between January 2013 and September 2014. These patients were on DAPT and did not experience AMI, stroke, or bleeding events at the 12-month follow-up. We divided them into 2 groups: 12-month DAPT group (DAPT for at least 12 months but <18 months) and 18-month DAPT group (DAPT for at least 18 months). The primary outcome was 24-month all-cause death. Overall, 1,221 patients (70.0%) took DAPT for ≥12 months but <18 months, whereas 523 patients (30.0%) took DAPT for ≥18 months. The proportion of patients at high ischemic risk and the proportion of patients at high bleeding risk were similar in the 2 groups. At 24 months, the all-cause mortality rate of the 18-month DAPT group was significantly lower than that for the 12-month DAPT group (3.7% vs 5.9%, p = 0.0471). The adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause death also showed statistical significance (0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.35 to 0.99, p = 0.0444). In conclusion, DAPT for at least 18 months appears to be associated with lower 24-month mortality for non-revascularization AMI patients without events within 12 months after onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marital status is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and overall mortality, yet limited research on this topic in elderly individuals is available. Our aim was to comprehensively assess the impact of marital status and other family factors on CVD incidence and long-term mortality among elderly people. METHODS Data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (2002/2005/2008-2018) for participants aged ≥60 years were analysed. A cross-sectional study initially examined the correlation between spouses, offspring, living arrangements, and CVD using logistic regression. Subsequently, a retrospective cohort study investigated the long-term associations of these factors with overall mortality via Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. RESULTS The study involved 48 510 subjects (average age: 87 years). The cross-sectional analysis revealed a correlation between living with a spouse and an increased incidence of heart disease (adjusted OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.04-1.55) and cerebrovascular disease/stroke (adjusted OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.11-1.42). According to the retrospective cohort analysis, living with a spouse significantly reduced overall mortality (adjusted HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.80-0.87), irrespective of marital relationship quality. Conversely, living with offspring (adjusted HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.08-1.16), having more children (adjusted Pnonlinearity = 0.427) or cohabitants (adjusted Pnonlinearity < 0.0001) were associated with increased overall mortality. CONCLUSION In the elderly population, being married and living with a spouse were not significantly associated with a decrease in CVD incidence but were associated with a reduction in long-term overall mortality. Living with offspring, having more children, or having a larger family size did not replicate the protective effect but indicated greater overall mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the relationship between Cystatin C (CysC) levels and all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality in US metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients. METHODS The 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) prospective cohort research included 1,980 MetS participants. To assess CysC levels and all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality, fitted curves, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, cox regression analysis, and ROC curves were performed. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 15.3 ± 5.4 years, a total of 819 deaths occurred. The fitted and Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that greater CysC levels were linked to higher all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality rates (P<0.05). After adjusting for variables, CysC level was associated with all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality at 1.63 (1.42-1.88), 1.53 (1.19-1.95), and 1.53 (1∼2.32), respectively (P<0.05). Later tertile models showed consistent results. High CysC tertile participants showed higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.87; 1.43-2.45), CVD mortality (HR 1.97, 1.15∼3.38), and cancer mortality (HR 1.72, 1.01∼2.91) compared to those in the lowest tertile (P<0.05). Subgroup studies by sex and other characteristics confirmed the findings. CysC demonstrated the higher predictive efficacy across mortality outcomes, followed by eGFR, outperforming Urea nitrogen, Creatinine, Uric acid, and CRP. CysC alone exhibited substantial predictive value for all-cause (AUC 0.773; P<0.05) and CVD mortality (AUC 0.726; P<0.05). Combining CysC with age enhanced the predictive value for all-cause mortality to 0.861 and CVD mortality to 0.771 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION MetS patients with elevated CysC levels have a higher risk of all-cause, CVD, and cancer death. CysC may predict MetS all-cause and CVD mortality.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an emerging systemic inflammation marker associated with disease progression and mortality in patients. However, there is limited research on the predictive value of NLR in the general population. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between NLR and all-cause mortality in an elderly Chinese population. A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on health examination in a community in Shanghai, China, between 2015 and 2020. Among 6364 participants (aged ≥ 55 years), a total of 169 (2.66%) participants died during a median follow-up period of 5.37 years. The median NLR was 1.63 (interquartile range: 1.29, 2.11). Multivariate analysis revealed that the upper 2 quartiles of NLR were positively associated with all-cause mortality (Q3 vs Q1: hazard ratio [HR] = 1.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-3.09; Q4 vs Q1: HR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.34-3.68, P for trend <.001). The stratified and interaction analyses showed that age, sex, body mass index (BMI), history of diabetes, or history of hypertension did not significantly modify the association between NLR and all-cause mortality. Elevated NLR was independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in the elderly Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is insufficient data to support a link between serum AGR and mortality in individuals with diabetes. This prospective study sought to investigate the relationship between serum AGR and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in adult diabetics. METHODS This study included 8508 adults with diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018. Death outcomes were ascertained by linkage to National Death Index records through 31 December 2019. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer were estimated using weighted Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS 2415 all-cause deaths, including 688 cardiovascular deaths and 413 cancer deaths, were recorded over an average of 9.61 years of follow-up. After multivariate adjustment, there was a significant and linear relationship between higher serum AGR levels and reduced all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a dose-response manner. The multivariate-adjusted HR and 95% CI for all-cause mortality (Ptrend<0.0001), cardiovascular mortality (Ptrend<0.001), and cancer mortality (Ptrend<0.01) were 0.51(0.42,0.60), 0.62(0.46,0.83), and 0.57(0.39,0.85), respectively, for individuals in the highest AGR quartile. There was a 73% decreased risk of all-cause death per one-unit rise in natural log-transformed serum AGR, as well as a 60% and 63% decreased risk of mortality from CVD and cancer, respectively (all P<0.001). Both the stratified analysis and the sensitivity analyses revealed the same relationships. CONCLUSIONS AGR is a promising biomarker in risk predictions for long-term mortality in diabetic individuals, particularly in those under age 60 and heavy drinker.

Abstract
Background: Differences in survival between patients treated with antipsychotic monotherapy vs. polytherapy are debated. This study aimed to examine the association of antipsychotic polytherapy with 2-year all-cause mortality in a population-based cohort. Methods: Data were retrieved from healthcare databases of four local health units of Lombardy, Italy. Subjects aged 18-79 years who received continuous antipsychotic prescriptions in 2018 were identified. Overall survival among patients with antipsychotic monotherapy vs. polytherapy was compared. A multivariate Cox PH model was used to estimate the association between antipsychotic therapy, or antipsychotic use (continuous vs. non-continuous), and all-cause mortality. Adjustments were made for the presence of metabolic disturbances, total antipsychotic dosage amount (olanzapine equivalent doses), age, and sex. Results: A total of 49,875 subjects receiving at least one prescription of antipsychotics during 2018 were identified. Among the 33,221 patients receiving continuative antipsychotic prescriptions, 1958 (5.9%) experienced death from any cause at two years. Patients with continuous antipsychotic use had a 1.13-point increased mortality risk compared with non-continuous users. Patients treated with antipsychotic polytherapy showed an adjusted mortality risk increased by 17% (95% CI: 2%, 33%) compared to monotherapy. Conclusions: The study highlights the potential risks associated with antipsychotic polypharmacy, emphasizing the importance of optimizing drug prescriptions to improve patient safety and reduce mortality rates in individuals receiving antipsychotic therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess the relationship between the rate of residual renal function (RRF) decline in the first year and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. METHODS Incident PD patients were divided into two groups by the corresponding RRF decline value, when hazard ratio (HR) = 1 was found by the restricted cubic spline. The associations of rate of decline of RRF in the first year with mortality were evaluated. RESULTS Of 497 PD patients, 122 patients died. After adjusting for confounding factors, patients in fast-decline group had a significant increase risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.97 and 2.09, respectively). Each 0.1-mL/min/1.73 m2 /month decrease in RRF in the first year of PD was associated with a 19% and 20% higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Faster decline of RRF in the first year was independently associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in PD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether "sarcopenia," defined based on the preoperative skeletal muscle index (SMI), can predict major postoperative morbidity and all-cause mortality. DESIGN A retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING At the authors' Department of Critical Care Medicine. PARTICIPANTS A total of 986 adult Chinese patients underwent cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery, combined surgery, or aortic surgery) between January 2019 and August 2022. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The skeletal muscle area at the third lumbar level (L3) was measured via preoperative computed tomography (up to 3 months from the date of imaging to the date of surgery) and normalized to patient height (skeletal muscle index). Sarcopenia was determined based on the skeletal muscle index being in the lowest sex-specific quartile. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. The secondary outcome was major morbidity. A total of 968 patients were followed for a median of 2.00 years, ranging from 1.06 to 2.90 years. After the follow-up, 76 patients died during the follow-up period. Multivariate Cox proportional analysis showed a relationship between sarcopenia (adjusted hazard ratio 1.80, 95% CI 1.04-3.11; p = 0.034) and all-cause mortality. Kaplan-Meier curves revealed a significantly lower survival rate in the sarcopenia group than in the nonsarcopenia group. Overall, 199 (20.6%) patients had major morbidity. Multivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between sarcopenia (adjusted odds ratio = 2.21, 95% CI 1.52∼3.22, p < 0.001) and major morbidity. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia, defined by the skeletal muscle index, is associated with all-cause mortality and major morbidity after cardiac surgery, thereby suggesting the need for perioperative sarcopenia risk assessment for patients undergoing cardiac surgery to guide the prevention and management of adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Background: The effect of serum lycopene on the progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their longevity remains a controversial topic. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of different isomeric forms of serum lycopene with CVD and all-cause mortality in the American population. Methods: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a large population survey to investigate public health in the US. We analyzed data from 2003-2006 linked with mortality data obtained in 2015. Cox proportional hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality caused by serum lycopene. Results: Among 7452 participants (aged 20-85 years, 46.7% male), 298 died from CVDs among the total 1213 deaths during a median follow-up of 10.7 years. Serum lycopene is a protective factor for all-cause and CVD mortality. In multivariable-adjusted models, the hazard ratio (with 95% confidence intervals) associated with Q4 compared to Q1 of serum total-lycopene, trans-lycopene and cis-lycopene was 0.49 (0.38,0.63), 0.49 (0.39,0.63) and 0.55 (0.43,0.70) for all-cause mortality (Ptrend<0.05), and was 0.53 (0.32,0.96), 0.48 (0.32,0.72) and 0.63 (0.41,0.97) for CVD mortality (Ptrend<0.05). The subgroup analyses showed that different isomeric forms of lycopene showed varied associations with CVD and all-cause mortality based on age, drinking status, history of hypertension and diabetes. Conclusions: Serum lycopene concentration was significantly associated with the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. Cis-lycopene had a U-shaped relationship with mortality, while trans-lycopene had an inverse relationship with it.

Abstract
Obesity is reported to increase stroke risk, with adipocyte-derived cytokines or adipokines implicated as mediators. However, the relationship between adipokines and stroke is not well clarified. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association of adipokines with stroke using fully adjusted risk estimates that incorporated body mass index in a meta-analysis. Data from 52 studies (62,428 patients) were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis. Adiponectin was independently associated with a lower risk of pre-existing stroke (adjusted odds ratio: 0.64 [95% confidence interval: 0.46-0.88], p < 0.01), whereas leptin (1.08 [1.00-1.17], p = 0.04), resistin (1.06 [1.04-1.08], p < 0.01) and visfatin (1.04 [1.01-1.07], p = 0.01) are associated with a higher risk of stroke, but none with incident stroke. Adipokines independently associated with an ischaemic stroke subtype were adiponectin (0.48 [0.30-0.77], p < 0.01), leptin (1.10 [1.01-1.20], p = 0.04), and resistin (1.06 [1.04-1.08], p < 0.01). Fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP-4) independently predicted 6-month poor functional outcomes in stroke patients (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.09 [1.06-1.12], p < 0.01); whereas both FABP-4 (1.17 [1.03-1.34], p = 0.01) and visfatin (1.24 [1.00-1.55], p = 0.05) were predictive of 6-month mortality. Adipokines are associated with a greater risk of pre-existing stroke, but not with the relationship with incident stroke. Adipokines, such as FABP-4 and visfatin, may serve as biomarkers of stroke severity and worsening of stroke outcomes.

Abstract
The association of low prognostic nutritional index (PNI) with adverse outcomes remains conflicting in heart failure patients. To address these knowledge gaps, we performed this meta-analysis to investigate the predictive value of PNI in patients with heart failure (HF). PubMed and Embase databases were comprehensively searched until January 19, 2023, to identify studies that evaluated the predictive role of PNI in HF patients. Outcomes of interest included all-cause mortality and/or combined endpoint of mortality and re-hospitalization. Twelve studies involving 9365 patients with HF were included and analyzed. Comparison of the lowest with the highest PNI, the pooled multivariate adjusted risk ratio (RR) was 1.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.40-2.30) and 2.67 (95% CI 1.92-3.71) for long-term all-cause mortality and combined endpoint of mortality and re-hospitalization, respectively. Furthermore, per unit reduction in PNI was associated with 8% higher risk of all-cause mortality. However, there was no clear association of low PNI with in-hospital mortality. Low PNI may be an independent predictor of long-term all-cause mortality and re-hospitalization in patients with HF. Estimation of nutritional state using the PNI may provide an important clue for risk stratification in these patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Previous studies have highlighted the importance of sleep patterns for human health. This study aimed to investigate the association of sleep timing with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality. METHODS Participants were screened from two cohort studies: the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS; n = 4,824) and the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (n = 2,658). Sleep timing, including bedtime and wake-up time, was obtained from sleep habit questionnaires at baseline. The sleep midpoint was defined as the halfway point between the bedtime and wake-up time. Restricted cubic splines and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to examine the association between sleep timing and mortality. RESULTS We observed a U-shaped association between bedtime and all-cause mortality in both the SHHS and Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study groups. Specifically, bedtime at 11:00 pm and waking up at 7:00 am was the nadir for all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality risks. Individuals with late bedtime (> 12:00 am) had an increased risk of all-cause mortality in SHHS (hazard ratio 1.53, 95% confidence interval 1.28-1.84) and Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (hazard ratio 1.27, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.58). In the SHHS, late wake-up time (> 8:00 am) was associated with increased all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.39, 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.72). No significant association was found between wake-up time and cardiovascular disease mortality. Delaying sleep midpoint (> 4:00 am) was also significantly associated with all-cause mortality in the SHHS and Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study. CONCLUSIONS Sleep timing is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality. Our findings highlight the importance of appropriate sleep timing in reducing mortality risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of stair climbing difficulty and stair climbing frequency with the risk of all-cause mortality over 13 years in adults with or at high risk for knee OA. METHODS We used data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), a prospective cohort study of community-dwelling adults with or at high risk for symptomatic knee OA. The exposures were stair climbing difficulty and frequency, assessed at baseline using self-report questionnaires. The outcome was all-cause mortality, assessed from baseline through 13 years of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to investigate the association between stair climbing exposures and all-cause mortality. RESULTS Three hundred seven (6.81%) and 310 (6.84%) participants in the difficulty and frequency samples, respectively, died during 13 years of follow-up. Those who were limited in any capacity in terms of their stair climbing ability had 54% to 84% greater hazard of all-cause mortality, and those who climbed at least 7 flights of stairs per week had 38% lower hazard of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION Adults with or at high risk for knee OA who report difficulty with climbing stairs or who infrequently use stairs are at greater hazard of all-cause mortality. Stair climbing difficulty and frequency are simple to collect and changes may occur early in OA progression, allowing for early intervention. Brief questions about stair climbing behaviors can serve as a functional vital sign within the clinician's toolbox.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a suitable treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis and severely increased operative risk. There is need for a better preoperative risk assessment for TAVI candidates. AIM To determine whether Tumour necrosis factor-alfa (TNFα) is an independent predictor of survival 500 days after TAVI. METHODS Sixty patients undergoing TAVI were enrolled in the study. TNFα was determined. The CT measured low-density muscle fraction (LDM%) of the psoas muscle was determined. Operative risk assessment by Logistic EuroSCORE, EuroSCORE II, and STS score was performed. Frailty scores (FRAIL scale and Barthel index) were determined. RESULTS Mean age was 81.01 ± 7.54 years. Twenty-six (43.3%) of the patients were males. In the univariable analyses, FRAIL scale and Barthel index were no predictors of survival after TAVI. In the multivariable analysis, including EuroSCORE II, LDM% and TNFα serum concentration, TNFα serum level was an independent predictor of survival 500 days after TAVI (HR: 3.167; 95%: 1.279-7.842; p = 0.013). The multivariable analysis, including TNFα as a categorical variable, showed that compared to patients in the conjugated first and second TNFα serum level tertile, patients in the third tertile had a hazard ratio (HR) of 10.606 (95%CI: 1.203 - 93.467) (p = 0.033). CONCLUSION TNFα is an incremental independent predictor of long-term survival after TAVI.

Abstract
AIM To determine the associations between the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and the risks of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 3 916 214 Chinese adults were enrolled in a nationwide population cohort covering all 31 provinces of mainland China. The CVAI was calculated based on age, body mass index, waist circumference, and triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. We used a Cox proportional hazards regression model to determine the hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for risk of mortality associated with different CVAI levels. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 3.8 years. A total of 86 158 deaths (34 867 cardiovascular disease [CVD] deaths, 29 884 cancer deaths, and 21 407 deaths due to other causes) were identified. In general, after adjusting for potential confounding factors, a U-shaped relationship between CVAI and all-cause mortality was observed by restricted cubic spline (RCS). Compared with participants in CVAI quartile 1, those in CVAI quartile 4 had a 23.0% (95% CI 20.0%-25.0%) lower risk of cancer death, but a 23.0% (95% CI 19.0-27.0) higher risk of CVD death. In subgroup analysis, a J-shaped and inverted U-shaped relationship for all-cause mortality and cancer mortality was observed in the group aged < 60 years. CONCLUSIONS The CVAI, an accessible indicator reflecting visceral obesity among Chinese adults, has predictive value for all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality risks. Moreover, the CVAI carries significance in the field of health economics and secondary prevention. In the future, it could be used for early screening purposes.

Abstract
Background: Our aim was to assess the relationship of the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) in left anterior descending (LAD) artery involved STEMI patients. Methods: Data of 316 STEMI patients who had undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were collected from three cardiovascular centers from 2005 to 2015. In total, 246 patients with LAD STEMI were enrolled for IMR evaluation. Patients were divided into two groups respective of the cut-off IMR value of 30. All-cause mortality, left ventricular function, improvement of systolic function, and cardiac biomarkers were analyzed and compared. Results: A total of 246 patients were enrolled. The number of patients in the IMR above 30 group was 93 and below 30 was 153. The mean ages for each group were 57.91 ± 11.99 and 54 ± 10.63, respectively. The peak creatinine kinase (CK) (3936.85 ± 2827.32 IU/L vs. 2218.08 ± 2310.41 IU/L, p < 0.001) and CKmb (336.15 ± 195.08 mg/mL vs. 231.53 ± 179.53 mg/mL, p < 0.001) levels were higher for an IMR above the 30 group. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (44.57 ± 6.685% vs. 47.35 ± 8.17%, p = 0.006) and improvement of LVEF (2.81 ± 7.135% vs. 5.88 ± 7.65%, p = 0.004) was lower in the IMR above 30 group. All-cause mortality (7.5% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.012) was higher in the IMR above 30 group, and a Cox regression analysis showed that an IMR above 30 was a poor prognostic factor regarding all-cause mortality (HR: 5.151, 95% CI 1.062-24.987, p = 0.042) even after adjusting for classical clinical risk factors. Conclusions: An elevated IMR value represented larger infarct size, more severe LV dysfunction, and higher mortality in LAD STEMI patients after successful PCI.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to assess how longitudinal body mass index (BMI) trajectories are associated with diabetes complications and all-cause mortality in Finnish patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods In this cohort study, electronic health records from public primary and specialized healthcare services in all 13 municipalities of North Karelia, Finland, were utilized. This study included a total of 889 adults with newly diagnosed T2D in 2011 or 2012 (mean age at baseline 62.0 years). Individual BMI trajectories from the T2D diagnosis until 2014 were estimated and grouped by growth mixture modeling (GMM). Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for microvascular complications, macrovascular complications, any diabetes complications, and all-cause mortality from 2015 to 2022 across BMI trajectory groups were estimated using Cox regression models. Results Three distinct BMI trajectory groups were identified using GMM and labeled as follows: "stable" (n = 774, 87.1%), "decreasing" (n = 87, 9.8%), and "increasing" (n = 28, 3.1%). During a median follow-up of 8 years, there were 119 (13.3%) patients with microvascular complications, 187 (21.0%) with macrovascular complications, 258 (29.0%) with any diabetes complications, and 180 (20.2%) deaths. Compared with the "stable" BMI, the "increasing" BMI was associated with an increased risk of microvascular complications (HR = 2.88, 95% CI: 1.32 to 6.28), macrovascular complications (HR = 2.52, 95% CI: 1.17 to 5.43), and any diabetes complications (HR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.16 to 4.20). The "decreasing" BMI was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.14 to 3.15), compared to the "stable" BMI. Conclusion Our findings underscore the significance of continuous BMI monitoring and weight management in patients with T2D. Tailored treatments are crucial for efficiently preventing weight gain and reducing the risk of diabetes complications.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and sarcopenia (SP) have emerged as significant public health concerns in contemporary societies, characterized by shared pathophysiological mechanisms and interrelatedness, leading to profound health implications. In this prospective cohort study conducted within a US population, we aimed to examine the influence of MetS and SP on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Methods This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III for the years 1999-2006 and 2011-2018, and death outcomes were ascertained by linkage to National Death Index (NDI) records through December 31, 2019. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. In addition, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to test the robustness of the results. Results Over a median follow-up period of 13.3 years (95% CI: 12.8-13.8), 1714 deaths were observed. The groups characterized by MetS-/SP+, MetS+/SP-, and MetS+/SP+ exhibited higher all-cause mortality rates in comparison to the MetS-/SP- group, with the MetS+/SP+ group (HR 1.76, 95% CI: 1.37-2.25) displaying the highest all-cause mortality. Increased cardiovascular mortality was observed in the MetS+/SP- (HR 1.84, 95% CI: 1.24-2.72), and MetS+/SP+ groups (HR 2.39, 95% CI: 1.32-4.35) compared to the MetS-/SP- group, whereas it was not statistically significant in the MetS-/SP+ group. However, among males and individuals aged < 60, the presence of both MetS and SP (MetS+/SP+ group) was found to be significantly associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Conclusion The coexistence of MetS and SP increased the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, particularly in males and in nonelderly populations. Individuals with either MetS or SP may require more careful management to prevent the development of other diseases and thereby reduce mortality.

Abstract
Aim Both hyperuricemia and anemia are not only the manifestation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but also related to its occurrence and development. A recent study has found that there was a synergetic effect between hyperuricemia and anemia on new-onset CKD. Herein we aimed to explore the roles of hyperuricemia and anemia in the all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. Methods Data of adult patients with CKD were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database in 2009-2018 in this retrospective cohort study. Weighted univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were used to investigate the associations of hyperuricemia and anemia with all-cause mortality, and the evaluation indexes were hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The interaction effect between hyperuricemia and anemia on the risk of all-cause mortality was assessed via relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion of interaction (AP). Subgroup analyses of age, gender, CVD, hypertension, DM, and cancer were also performed to assess this interaction effect. Results Among 3,678 eligible patients, 819 died from all causes. After adjusting for covariables, we found that CKD patients with anemia (HR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.42-2.09) or hyperuricemia (HR = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.01-11.45) had a higher risk of all-cause mortality. There was a potential synergetic effect between anemia and hyperuricemia on all-cause mortality, with RERI of 0.630 and AP of 0.291. Moreover, this synergetic effect was also observed in ≥65 years old (AP = 0.330), male (AP = 0.355), hypertension (AP = 0.736), non-hypertension (AP = 0.281), DM (AP = 0.371), and cancer (AP = 0.391) subgroups. Conclusion A potential synergetic effect between anemia and hyperuricemia on all-cause mortality was found in patients with CKD. However, further studies are needed to clarify the causal relationship between them.

Abstract
Objective Extensive research has consistently shown the beneficial impact of fruit consumption on overall health. While some studies have proposed a potential association between fruit consumption and hypertension management, the influence of fruit consumption on mortality rates among hypertensive individuals remains uncertain. Consequently, aim of this study is to evaluate whether fruit consumption is associated with all-cause mortality among hypertensive patients. Methods Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted between 2003 and 2006. Ten-year follow-up data from the National Death Index (NDI) were used to assess all-cause mortality. Cox proportional hazard model was utilized to explore the impact of fruit intake on all-cause mortality among hypertensive individuals. Results The study included a cohort of 2,480 patients diagnosed with hypertension, and during the follow-up period, a total of 658 deaths from various causes were recorded. The COX regression analysis demonstrated that hypertensive patients who consumed apples three to six times per week exhibited a significantly reduced risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.60, 95%CI: 0.45-0.78, p < 0.001) in comparison to those who consumed apples less than once per month. Likewise, consuming bananas three to six times per week also led to a comparable outcome (HR = 0.76, 95%CI: 0.59-0.97, p = 0.027). Moreover, Combined consumption of bananas and apples three to six times per week exhibited a noteworthy decrease in all-cause mortality (HR = 0.57, 95%CI: 0.39-0.84, p = 0.005) when compared to individuals who consumed these fruits less frequently. Conversely, no significant association was found between the consumption of other fruits, including pears, pineapples, and grapes, and all-cause mortality. Conclusion The study discovered that moderate consumption of apples and bananas was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality in patients with hypertension.

Abstract
AIMS Over time, cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths increasingly exceed those from malignancy among cancer survivors. However, the association of myocardial injury with long-term survival (beyond three years) in cancer patients has not been previously described. METHODS The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) and morbidities databases (1999-2004) were linked with the latest mortality dataset isolating records were respondents reported cancer diagnosis by a healthcare professional. Myocardial injury was then determined by elevated hs-cTn. RESULTS 16,225,560 weighted records (1,058 unweighted) were included in this observational study, with myocardial injury identified in 14·2%. Those with myocardial injury had progressively worse survival at 5 (51·6% vs. 89·5%), 10 (28·3% vs. 76·0%), and 15 years (12·6% vs. 61·4%) compared to those without myocardial injury. After adjusting for baseline characteristics, those with myocardial injury had an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 2·10 (95% CI 2·09-2·10, p<0·001) for all-cause mortality, 2·23 (2·22-2·24, p<0·001) for cardiovascular mortality, and 1·59 (95% CI 1·59-1·60, p<0·001) for cancer mortality compared to those without myocardial injury. Among patients with no pre-existing CVD, the hs-cTn I Ortho assay was a strong independent predictor of all cause (aHR 6·29, 95% CI 6·25-6·33, p<0·001), CVD (aHR 11·38, 95% CI 11·23-11·54, p<0·001), and cancer (aHR 5·02, 95% CI 4·96-5·07, p<0·001) mortality. CONCLUSIONS As a marker for myocardial injury, hs-cTn/s were independently associated with worse long-term survival among cancer patients with a stronger relationship with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality using hs-cTn I ortho assay.

Abstract
Background The simplified thrombo-inflammatory score (sTIPS) has recently emerged as a novel prognostic score. Hence, we investigated the prognostic value of sTIPS for predicting long-term mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). Methods A total of 3741 patients were analyzed in this study. The sTIPS was calculated based on the white blood cell count (WBC) and the mean platelet volume to platelet count (MPV/PC) ratio at admission. The mean follow-up time was 22.75 months. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to investigate the associations between the sTIPS and all-cause mortality (ACM). Results In the whole study population, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients in both the sTIPS 2 and sTIPS 1 groups had significantly increased risk of ACM as compared with patients in the sTIPS 0 group (hazard ratio [HR]=1.706, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.405-2.072, P<0.001 and HR = 1.431, 95% CI 1.270-1.612, P<0.001). The same significant trend was observed in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients (sTIPS1 vs sTIPS0: HR = 1.366, 95% CI 1.100-1.697, P = 0.005; sTIPS2 vs sTIPS0: HR = 1.995, 95% CI 1.460-2.725, P<0.001). However, only sTIPS 1 group had a significantly increased the risk of ACM compared to the sTIPS 0 group among patients with HFmrEF (sTIPS1 vs sTIPS0: HR = 1.648, 95% CI 1.238-2.194, P = 0.001) and HFrEF (sTIPS1 vs sTIPS0: HR = 1.322, 95% CI 1.021-1.712, P = 0.035). Conclusion sTIPS is useful in predicting risk for long-term mortality in patients with HF.

Abstract
Malnutrition is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, it is uncertain which nutritional assessment tools are most effective in predicting the adverse outcomes of DKD. This retrospective study was conducted at a single center and included 367 patients diagnosed with DKD based on biopsy results between August 2009 and December 2018. Four nutritional assessment indices, namely the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Triglycerides (TG) × Total Cholesterol (TC) × Body Weight (BW) Index (TCBI), and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, were selected and calculated. We aimed to assess the association between these nutritional scores and adverse outcomes, including progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular diseases events (CVD), and all-cause mortality. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, Kaplan-Meier analysis, along with Restricted cubic spline analysis were used to examine the relationship between nutritional scores and adverse outcomes. Furthermore, the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using time-dependent receiver operating characteristics to determine the predictive value of the four nutritional scores alone and some combinations. Lastly, ordered logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between the four nutritional scores and different renal histologic changes. The incidence of ESKD, CVD, and all-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with DKD who had a lower PNI, lower GNRI, and higher CONUT score. Additionally, The TCBI performed the worst in terms of grading and risk assessment. The PNI offer the highest predictive value for adverse outcomes and a stronger correlation with renal histologic changes compared to other nutritional scores. Patients diagnosed with DKD who have a worse nutritional status are more likely to experience higher rates of adverse outcomes. The PNI might offer more valuable predictive values and a stronger correlation with different renal histologic changes compared to other nutritional scores.

Abstract
Studies examining the link between periodontitis and survival outcomes have yielded conflicting results in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This systematic review with meta-analysis aims to assess the association between periodontitis and cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in CKD patients. A thorough search was conducted on the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases for studies investigating the association between periodontitis and survival outcomes in CKD patients. Two authors independently scanned the titles or abstracts and then identified the eligible full-text article based on the PECOS criteria: Participants (CKD patients), Exposure (periodontitis), Comparison (mild/no periodontitis), Outcomes (cardiovascular or all-cause mortality), and Study design (retrospective or prospective cohort). Six cohort studies, including 7731 patients, were identified. The included studies had low-to-moderate risk of bias. The mean/median follow-up duration ranged from 18.1 months to 8.67 years. The all-cause mortality rate was 44.8% for patients with periodontitis and 28.0% for controls. Meta-analysis showed that periodontitis, defined through clinical attachment loss (CAL), was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.24; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.89-1.72; I2 = 80.9%) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.57; 95% CI 1.08-2.27; I2 = 34.0%). Additionally, a significant association between periodontitis and the risk of cardiovascular or all-cause mortality was observed in studies with a predominance of females, follow-up duration ≥5 years, all stages of CKD, and low risk of bias subgroups. Periodontitis is significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients within low risk of bias subgroup or based on defining periodontitis through CAL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between treatment outcome and the mortality of Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) with cavitary lesions is unclear. This article assessed the impact of culture conversion on mortality in patients with cavitary MAC-PD. RESEARCH QUESTION Is the achievement of sputum culture conversion in MAC-PD with cavitary lesions associated with the prognosis? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS From 2002 to 2020, a total of 351 patients with cavitary MAC-PD (105 with the fibrocavitary type and 246 with the cavitary nodular bronchiectatic type), who had been treated with a ≥ 6-month macrolide-containing regimen at a tertiary referral center in the Republic of Korea, were retrospectively enrolled in this study. All-cause mortality during the follow-up period was analyzed based on culture conversion at the time of treatment completion. RESULTS The cohort had a median treatment duration of 14.7 months (interquartile range [IQR], 13.4-16.8 months). Of the 351 patients, 69.8% (245 of 351) achieved culture conversion, and 30.2% (106 of 351) did not. The median follow-up was 4.4 years (IQR, 2.3-8.3 years) in patients with culture conversion and 3.1 years (IQR, 2.1-4.8 years) in those without. For the patients with and without culture conversion, all-cause mortality was 5.3% vs 35.8% (P < .001), and the 5-year cumulative mortality was 20.0% vs 38.4%, respectively. Cox analysis found that a lack of culture conversion was significantly associated with higher mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 5.73; 95% CI, 2.86-11.50). Moreover, the 2-year landmark analysis revealed a distinct impact of treatment outcome on mortality. INTERPRETATION The mortality rate of patients with cavitary MAC-PD who did not achieve culture conversion was significantly higher than that of those with culture conversion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential influence of tinnitus on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality has yet to be explored. We aim to examine the correlations between tinnitus and the risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study utilising data from the UK Biobank. The presence of tinnitus was evaluated through a questionnaire. The primary outcome was defined as a composition of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and mortality from CVD, as well as all-cause mortality. Cox proportional hazard models were employed to examine the associations between tinnitus and both the primary outcome and its individual components. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the robustness of the primary analysis. RESULTS A total of 140,146 participants were included in the study. The presence of tinnitus was found to be associated with a higher incident rate of the primary outcome (HR = 1.057, 95%CI: 1.017-1.099, p = 0.005), MI (HR = 1.139, 95%CI: 1.061-1.222, p < 0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR = 1.053, 95%CI: 1.003-1.105, p = 0.038) after adjusting for confounders. However, there was no significant association between tinnitus and stroke or mortality from CVD. Subgroup analysis revealed that the association between tinnitus and the primary outcome was significant in females, participants with abnormal BMI, and those without hearing difficulty, depression or anxiety. Sensitivity analyses yielded consistent results. CONCLUSION The findings from this study contribute to the existing body of evidence suggesting an association between tinnitus and an increased risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Importance Little is known about the relationship between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and the prognosis of hypertensive patients in China. Objective To investigate the association between the novel non-insulin-based METS-IR index and the cardiovascular composite endpoints and all-cause mortality in Chinese hypertensive participants. Design setting and participants This cohort study used data from the China H-Type Hypertension Project, a long-term prospective cohort consisting of 14234 hypertensive patients in southern China, with a baseline from March to August 2018. The median follow-up period for participants was 3.94 years, as of 2022. The data analysis period is from July 2023 to September 2023. Exposures METS-IR index of participants in the Chinese H-type hypertension project. The calculation formula for METS-IR is (Ln (2 × FPG) +TG) × BMI/Ln (HDL-C). Main outcomes and measures Cardiovascular events and cardiovascular, all-cause mortality were identified by linking the cohort database with the health care system through October, 2023. Results A total of 14220 participants were included in this study. The prevalence rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cardiovascular death, and all-cause death were 2.59% (369/14220), 2.79% (397/14220), and 5.66% (805/14220), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors in the multivariate logistic regression analysis models, the METS-IR index was significantly positively correlated with CVD, and cardiovascular, all-cause mortality, whether as a categorical or continuous variable. Layered analysis showed that the METS-IR index of hypertensive participants in different subgroups was positively correlated with the endpoint event. Conclusions and relevance This large, prospective cohort study demonstrated that the METS-IR index, a new IR evaluation index, were independently associated with a higher risk of the cardiovascular composite endpoint and all-cause mortality among Chinese hypertensive population. Importantly, our finding provides an independent indicator for evaluating the prognosis of hypertensive patients.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia has long been implicated in elevating mortality risk; yet, the precise associations between lipid traits and mortality remained undisclosed. Our study aimed to explore the causal effects of lipid traits on both all-cause and cause-specific mortality. One-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) with linear and nonlinear assumptions was conducted in a cohort of 407,951 European participants from the UK Biobank. Six lipid traits, consisting of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and lipoprotein(a), were included to investigate the causal associations with mortality. Two-sample MR was performed to replicate the association between each lipid trait and all-cause mortality. Univariable MR results showed that genetically predicted higher ApoA1 was significantly associated with a decreased all-cause mortality risk (HR[95% CI]:0.93 [0.89-0.97], P value = 0.001), which was validated by the two-sample MR analysis. Higher lipoprotein(a) was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (1.03 [1.01-1.04], P value = 0.002). Multivariable MR confirmed the direct causal effects of ApoA1 and lipoprotein(a) on all-cause mortality. Meanwhile, nonlinear MR found no evidence for nonlinearity between lipids and all-cause mortality. Our examination into cause-specific mortality revealed a suggestive inverse association between ApoA1 and cancer mortality, a significant positive association between lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular disease mortality, and a suggestive positive association between lipoprotein(a) and digestive disease mortality. High LDL-C was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality but a decreased risk of neurodegenerative disease mortality. The findings suggest that implementing interventions to raise ApoA1 and decrease lipoprotein(a) levels may improve overall health outcomes and mitigate cancer and digestive disease mortality.

Abstract
With the development of technology and industry, the problem of global air pollution has become difficult to ignore. We investigated the association between air pollutant concentrations and daily all-cause mortality and stratified the analysis by sex, age, and season. Data for six air pollutants [fine particulate matter (PM2.5), inhalable particles (PM10), nitric dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), and carbon monoxide (CO)] and daily mortality rates were collected from 2015 to 2019 in Guangzhou, China. A time-series study using a quasi-Poisson generalized additive model was used to examine the relationships between environmental pollutant concentrations and mortality. Mortality data for 296,939 individuals were included in the analysis. The results showed that an increase of 10 μg/m3 in the concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, O3, NO2, and CO corresponded to 0.84% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.47, 1.21%], 0.70% (0.44, 0.96%), 3.59% (1.77, 5.43%), 0.21% (0.05, 0.36%), 1.06% (0.70, 1.41%), and 0.05% (0.02, 0.09%), respectively. The effects of the six air pollutants were more significant for male individuals than female individuals, the cool season than the warm season, and people 75 years or older than those younger than 75 years. PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NO2 were all associated with neoplasms and circulatory and respiratory diseases. The two-pollutant models found that PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 may independently affect the risk of mortality. The results showed that exposure to PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 may increase the risk of daily all-cause excessive mortality in Guangzhou.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this meta-analysis is to compare effectiveness and safety among different tip-design long-term hemodialysis (HD) catheters. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched until 8 December 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies comparing step-tip, split-tip, or symmetrical-tip design catheters in patients undergoing HD will be included. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale were used to evaluate the quality of RCTs and cohort studies. Data extracted from the articles were integrated to determine mean effective blood pump velocity (Qb), blood recirculation rates, secondary patency, catheter-related infection, catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI), thrombosis rates, and all-cause mortality for the three tip-designs. We performed meta-analysis on dichotomous outcomes using a random-effects model to evaluate risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (Cls). The effect sizes of continuous outcomes were reported as the mean difference (MD). Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were also performed. The study was registered in the PROSPERO (CRD42021297069). RESULTS Six RCTs and 11 cohort studies of 2617 individuals were included in our meta-analysis, of which 1088 individuals inserted split-tip catheters, 897 individuals inserted step-tip catheters and 650 received symmetrical-tip design catheters. Sym-tip performed better in mean Qb (MD = 43.85, 95% Cl = 18.13-69.56, p = 0.0008) than step-tip. Split-tip had better outcomes vs step-tip in blood recirculation (RR = 3.44, 95% Cl = 2.49-4.39, p < 0.00001). Sym-tip had significantly better outcomes compared with step-tip (RR = 0.28, 95%Cl = 0.09-0.81, Z = 2.34, p = 0.02) and split-tip (RR = 0.19, 95% Cl = 0.09-0.43, p < 0.0001) in thrombotic events. No significant difference was found in secondary patency, infection rates, CRBSI, and all-cause mortality among the three tip-designs. CONCLUSION The sym-tip of tunneled cuffed catheters performed better mean Qb, lower thrombotic events, and lower blood recirculation when blood line reversed, which may have an advantage over other two catheter-tips.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have revealed that vitamin K is essential for preventing various chronic diseases. Phylloquinone is the primary dietary and circulating form of vitamin K. However, data concerning the association between plasma phylloquinone and all-cause mortality are limited. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the association between plasma phylloquinone and risk of all-cause mortality and examine some potential confounders. METHODS This study is a post hoc analysis of the RCT and a nested, case-control design was used. Enrolled participants had to have hypertension at baseline. Study initiation was 19 May, 2008, and the median follow-up was 4.5 y. A total of 604 mortality cases and 604 controls matched for age, sex, treatment group, and study site were included in this study. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all-cause mortality were calculated using conditional or unconditional logistic regression, without or with adjusting for pertinent covariates, respectively. The concentration of phylloquinone was measured by liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). RESULTS The mean and median phylloquinone levels were 1.62 nmol/L and 0.89 nmol/L, respectively. There was a significant negative association between log-transformed plasma phylloquinone and all-cause mortality after controlling for potential confounders (per 1 unit increase-OR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.66, 0.95). Furthermore, the association of plasma phylloquinone with risk of all-cause mortality differed by body mass index (BMI) (<25 kg/m2 compared with ≥25 kg/m2, P-interaction = 0.004). A significant trend of decreasing risk with increasing concentration of phylloquinone was observed in participants with higher BMI (per 1 unit increase-OR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.56, 0.90; P = 0.004). No significant correlation was found between phylloquinone and risk of all-cause mortality in those with BMI <25 kg/m2. CONCLUSIONS In Chinese patients with hypertension, there was a significant negative association between baseline plasma phylloquinone and all-cause mortality, especially among those with higher BMI.

Abstract
Since it is widely accepted that there is a positive correlation between the salt intake and hypertension or cerebro-cardiovascular-renal events, salt intake restriction is currently widely recommended, especially in patients with hypertension. However, salt intake restriction does not always have beneficial effects. Indeed, an excessively low salt intake has been reported to be harmful to health. While a reasonable vegetable and fruit intake reportedly decreases blood pressure, whether or not vegetable and fruit intake truly leads to reductions in cerebro-cardiovascular-renal events or all-cause mortality remains unclear. We reviewed the importance of vegetable and fruit intake for health, focusing on the relationship between urinary potassium excretion, a marker of vegetable and fruit intake, and cerebro-cardiovascular-renal events or all-cause mortality. In conclusion, vegetable and fruit intake may be essential for reducing cerebro-cardiovascular-renal events and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
This meta-analysis was undertaken to determine the predictive value of Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 in all-cause, cancer-cause, and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-cause mortality. This review was registered with PROSPERO as CRD42023421585. PubMed and Web of Science were searched for articles published by September 15, 2023. The hazard ratio (HR) was calculated with exact confidence intervals (CIs) of 95%. Statistical heterogeneity among studies was measured by Cochran's Q test (χ2) and the I2 statistic. Eighteen published studies were finally identified in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the HEI-2015 was associated with all-cause mortality either as a categorical variable (HR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.79, 0.82) or continuous variable (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.88, 0.92). The HEI-2015 was also associated with cancer-cause mortality as categorical variable (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.78, 0.83) or continuous variable (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.81, 0.99). The categorical HEI-2015 was also independently correlated with decreasing CVD-cause mortality (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.75, 0.87). A nonlinear dose-response relation between the HEI-2015 and all-cause mortality was found. In the linear dose-response analysis, the risk of mortality from cancer decreased by 0.42% per 1 score increment of the HEI-2015 and the risk of CVD-cause mortality decreased by 0.51% with the increment of the HEI-2015 per 1 score. Our analysis indicated a significant relationship between the HEI-2015 and all-cause, cancer-cause, and CVD-cause mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Elevated urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was associated with increased mortality in general population and diabetic patients. However, whether the association remains similar in the subjects with different status of glucose metabolism was unclear. The optimal level of UACR in predicting mortality also remained unknown. This study aims to investigate the relationship between UACR with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in population with different status of glucose metabolism and explore the predictive cutoff point of UACR. METHODS Six thousand three hundred and eighty-six community-dwelling individuals aged ≥45 years were enrolled and followed for an average of 5.3 years. Cox proportional hazards model was performed to analysis the association of baseline UACR and all-cause as well as cardiovascular mortality according to the status of glucose metabolism. Receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted to explore the optimal predictive cutoff point of UACR. RESULTS With UACR increasing, both the prevalence of all-cause and cardiovascular death increased. Cox analyses showed baseline UACR independently predicted the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the patients with prediabetes mellitus (pre-DM) and diabetes mellitus (DM) but not in subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). When divided by quartiles of UACR, the cumulative survival rate decreased acrossing the quartiles. Compared to the subjects with lowest quartile of UACR, participants with UACR ≥7.40 mg/gCr had a higher risk of all-cause mortality, and participants with UACR ≥16.60 mg/gCr had an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in all hyperglycemia subjects. The optimal predictive cutoff point of UACR was about 17 mg/gCr. CONCLUSION UACR was an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in population with pre-DM and DM but not in the subjects with NGT. The optimal predictive cutoff point of UACR is about 17 mg/gCr, which was far below the diagnostic cutoff point of microalbuminuria. Earlier interventions of albuminuria should be initiated from very early stage of hyperglycemia to reduce the burden of death in all patients whose glucose metabolism are impaired.

Abstract
Key points
SYNTAX Score II 2020 outperforms both the anatomical SYNTAX Score and SYNTAX Score II in terms of predicting all‐cause mortality during long‐term follow‐up among patients with complex coronary artery disease (left main coronary artery disease, three‐vessel disease, or both) and chronic renal insufficiency undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
A predicted all‐cause mortality of the SYNTAX Score II 2020 >7% significantly adversely affected the observed all‐cause mortality in patients with complex coronary artery disease and chronic renal insufficiency undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
For prospective validation of the SYNTAX score II 2020 model in patients with complex coronary artery disease, particularly those with moderate‐to‐severe chronic renal insufficiency (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2), further adequately powered, randomized trials of percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass graft surgery must be conducted, with long‐term follow‐up.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes, including frailty, disability, and mortality. Since the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 guidelines, which were published in 2020, are relatively new, studies on the association between sarcopenia as defined by these guidelines and mortality are limited in the Asian region. Accordingly, this study aimed to examine the all-cause mortality risk associated with sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults in rural Malaysia. This cohort study included 2404 older adults residing in Kuala Pilah District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia who were followed up for 83 months. The prevalence rates of sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia were 5.0% and 3.60%, respectively. Older adults with sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia had a 114% (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.14) and 146% (HR: 2.46) increased mortality risk compared with those without sarcopenia (HR: 2.14). Our findings indicate that early intervention is recommended to prevent sarcopenia in older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular events are increasing in patients with supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction (snLVEF). However, the effect of snLVEF in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) remains unclear, especially in patients with moderate AS. HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to evaluate the prognosis of mortality and heart failure (HF) in patients with LVEF ≥ 50% and moderate or severe AS. METHODS This retrospective study targeted patients with moderate or severe AS and LVEF > 50%. LVEF of 50%-65% was classified as normal LVEF (nLVEF, nEF group) and >65% as snLVEF (snEF group). AS severity was stratified based on the aortic valve area into moderate (1.0-1.5 cm²) and severe (<1.0 cm²). Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 226 participants were included in this study. There were 67 and 65 participants with moderate AS in snEF (m-snEF) and nEF groups (m-nEF), respectively, and 41 and 53 participants with severe AS in the snEF (s-snEF) and nEF groups (s-nEF), respectively. During the observation period (median: 554 days), the primary composite outcome occurred in 108 individuals. Cox hazard analysis revealed no significant differences among the four groups in primary composite outcomes. With respect to HF hospitalization, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) with m-snEF as the reference were as follows: m-nEF, 0.41 (0.19-0.89); s-nEF, 1.43 (0.76-2.67); and s-snEF, 1.83 (1.00-3.35). CONCLUSIONS The risk of HF hospitalization for m-snLVEF was higher than m-nLVEF and not significantly different from s-nLVEF.
