Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to systematically assess existing studies to demonstrate the association between potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) and frailty. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS We searched major electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CINHAL, PsycInfo, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine disk, Weipu, and Wanfang) from their inception until February 25, 2023 (data updated on May 4, 2023), for observational studies investigating PIM and frailty. I2 was used to measure the heterogeneity between studies quantitatively. A random effect model calculated pooled effect size owing to high heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis was conducted to explore sources of heterogeneity. Additionally, the studies' quality was evaluated using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (a modified Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate cross-sectional studies). RESULTS Twenty-four studies were included for systematic review, 14 of which were included in the meta-analysis. After pooling the effect size, the odds ratio with PIM as the dependent variable was 1.12 (95%CI: 1.01-1.25), and that with frailty as the dependent variable was 1.75 (95%CI: 1.25-2.43), indicating a bidirectional association between PIM and frailty. CONCLUSIONS PIM and frailty interact with each other and have a bidirectional association, thus providing additional information for early clinical identification and prevention of frailty, and medication safety management.

Neurosci Biobehav Rev 2023; 153:105360. [PMID: 37573899 DOI: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2023.105360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
Abnormal gestational weight gain (GWG) has been increasing globally, up to 47% of all pregnancies. Multiple studies have focused on the association between GWG and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in the offspring, however with inconsistent results. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate associations between excessive or insufficient GWG and offspring's neurodevelopmental outcomes. Meta-analysis of these 23 studies using a random-effects model revealed associations between excessive GWG and neurodevelopmental disorders (ASD & ID & ADHD together: OR=1.12 [95% CI 1.06-1.19]), ASD (OR=1.18 [95% CI 1.08-1.29]), ADHD (OR=1.08 [95% CI 1.02-1.14]), ASD with ID (OR=1.15 [95% CI 1.01-1.32]), and ASD without ID (OR=1.12 [95% CI 1.06-1.19]). Insufficient GWG was associated with higher risk for ID (OR=1.14 [95% CI 1.03-1.26]). These results emphasize the significant impact, though of small effect size, of GWG across multiple neurodevelopmental disorders. It is important to note that these results do not establish causality. Other factors such as genetic factors, gene-environment interactions may confound the relationship between GWG and neurodevelopmental outcomes. To better understand the role of GWG in neurodevelopmental disorders, future studies should consider using genetically sensitive designs that can account for these potential confounders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between cigarette smoking and thyroid cancer has been reported in prospective cohort studies, but the relationship remains controversial. To investigate this potential correlation further, we employed Mendelian randomization methodology to evaluate the causative impact of smoking on thyroid cancer incidence. METHODS From the genome-wide association study and Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use, we obtained genetic variants associated with smoking initiation and cigarettes per day (1.2 million individuals). We also extracted genetic variants associated with past tobacco smoking from the UK Biobank (424,960 individuals). Thyroid cancer outcomes were selected from the FinnGen GWAS (989 thyroid cancer cases and 217,803 control cases). Sensitivity analyses employing various approaches such as weighted median, MR-Egger, and MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) have been executed, as well as leave-one-out analysis to identify pleiotropy. RESULTS Using the IVW approach, we did not find evidence that any of the three smoking phenotypes were related to thyroid cancer (smoking initiation: odds ratio (OR) = 1.56, p = 0.61; cigarettes per day: OR = 0.85, p = 0.51; past tobacco smoking: OR = 0.80, p = 0.78). The heterogeneity (p > 0.05) and pleiotropy (p > 0.05) testing provided confirmatory evidence for the validity of our MR estimates. CONCLUSIONS The MR analysis revealed that there may not exist a causative link between smoking exposure and elevated incidence rates of thyroid malignancies.

Association of preoperative hypoprotein malnutrition with spinal postoperative complications and other conditions: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2023; 57:448-458. [PMID: 37739691 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.07.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications of spinal surgery are a common clinical problem, which impose significant economic and clinical burdens on patients and medical staff. Previous studies have suggested a close relationship between low-protein malnutrition and postoperative complications of surgery. However, the relationship between preoperative malnutrition and various orthopedic postoperative complications remains unclear. PURPOSE To investigate the association between protein malnutrition and postoperative complications and outcomes. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for published research articles between the database inception and February 28th, 2023, that evaluated the association between malnutrition and the risk of postoperative complications and death in spinal surgery patients. Malnutrition was defined as low pre-albumin and albumin levels before surgery. Two evaluators independently extracted study data and assessed the risk of bias in each study. Fixed- or random-effect models were used to calculate the pooled effect estimates. Funnel plots and Egger's tests were used to detect publication bias, and the Trim-and -Fill method was conducted to evaluate the impact of publication bias on the results. RESULTS A total of 26 studies were included in this meta-analysis, comprising 17 retrospective cohort studies and 9 case-control studies. The study included more than 86,000 participants. Analysis of postoperative complications revealed that the overall incidence of malnutrition-related complications after surgery was 3.17 times higher (OR = 3.17, 95% CI 2.69-3.75, z = 13.57, P < 0.05). The incidence of surgical site infections was 2.08 times higher (OR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.66-2.62, z = 6.307, P < 0.05), and the incidence of postoperative urinary tract infections was 2.55 times higher (OR = 2.55, 95% CI 1.80-3.60, z = 5.30, P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative sepsis was 3.31 times higher (OR = 3.31, 95% CI 2.31-4.75, z = 6.51, P < 0.05), and the incidence of postoperative pneumonia was 3.02 times higher (OR = 3.02, 95% CI 1.331-6.857, z = 2.64, P = 0.008 < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative cardiac complications was 4.24 times higher (OR = 4.24, 95% CI 2.45-7.35, z = 5.15, P < 0.05), and the incidence of postoperative renal complications was 4.04 times higher (OR = 4.04, 95% CI 2.06-7.93, z = 4.05, P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was 2.38 times higher (OR = 2.38, 95% CI 1.46-3.87, z = 6.98, P < 0.05), while the incidence of postoperative thrombotic complications was 2.76 times higher (OR = 2.76, 95% CI 1.756-4.345, z = 4.40, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the incidence of transfusion during and after surgery was 1.33 times higher (OR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.13-1.56, z = 3.40, P = 0.001 < 0.05), the incidence of postoperative readmission was 1.67 times higher (OR = 1.67, 95% CI 1.24-2.27, z = 3.33, P = 0.001 < 0.05), and the risk of postoperative death was 6.01 times higher (OR = 6.01, 95% CI 4.51-8.01, z = 12.27, P < 0.05). After conducting a publication bias test and Trim-and -Fill method analysis, we found no evidence of publication bias, and the results remained stable. CONCLUSION Preoperative low protein malnutrition is closely related to the incidence of postoperative complications and postoperative status. More prospective multicenter studies should be conducted to validate this conclusion. Furthermore, more effective assessment and intervention of preoperative nutritional status should be carried out to prevent the occurrence of postoperative complications and mortality risk.

Abstract
Background MetS is associated with greater morbidity and mortality in relation to a number of malignancies, but its association with ovarian cancer remains contested. The present study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies examining the association between MetS and ovarian cancer risk. Methods The study was registered on the PROSPERO platform in January 2023 (CRD42023391830). Up until February 13, 2023, a complete search was undertaken in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials. On the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible studies for meta-analysis were screened to determine the association between MetS and ovarian cancer risk. Results Five studies were included in total, including three cohort studies and two case-control studies. Meta-analysis showed no significant correlation between metabolic syndrome and ovarian cancer (OR=1.29, 95% CI: 0.90-1.84). Significant heterogeneity (I2 = 92.6, P<0.05) existed between the included studies. We performed a subgroup analysis of the risk of bias and showed that only unadjusted stratification of risk of bias for smoking (OR= 3.19, 95% CI: 2.14-4.76) and hysterectomy (OR= 3.19, 95% CI: 2.14-4.76) demonstrated a relationship between metabolic syndrome and ovarian cancer risk. The meta-regression analysis revealed that smoking and hysterectomy excision were substantially linked with heterogeneity (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our research revealed no statistically significant association between MetS and ovarian cancer risk. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome has highlighted the need of enhancing and controlling women's metabolic health. However, the evaluation of metabolic syndrome as a cancer risk factor may be deceptive and etiologically uninformative.

Abstract
Background Inflammation is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and particular inflammatory parameters can be used to predict the incidence of CVD. The aim of this study was to assess the association between fibrinogen (FIB), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) and the risk of cardiovascular disease using meta-analysis. Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched with the appropriate strategies to identify observational studies relevant to this meta-analysis. A random-effects model was used to combine inflammation factor-associated outcomes and cardiovascular disease outcomes, except in the case of galectin-3, where a fixed-effects model was used because of less heterogeneity. Location, age, type of cardiovascular disease, and sample size factors were used to explore heterogeneity in stratification and metaregression for subgroup analysis. A case-by-case literature exclusion approach was used for sensitivity analysis. The funnel plot and Begg's test were combined to assess publication bias. Results Thirty-three papers out of 11,456 were screened for inclusion in the analysis. Four inflammation biomarkers were significantly associated with the development of CVD: FIB (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.15-1.27, P < 0.001; HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.00-1.07, P < 0.05), IL-6 (HR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.10-1.22, P < 0.001), CRP (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.15-1.35, P < 0.001; HR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.14-1.25, P < 0.001) and Gal-3 (HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.05-1.14, P < 0.001). Location factors help explain the source of heterogeneity, and there is publication bias in the Gal-3 related literature. Conclusion Taken together, the current research evidence suggests that high levels of fibrinogen, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein and galectin-3 are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and can be used as biomarkers to predict the development of cardiovascular disease to some extent.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study investigated the association between longitudinal smoking habit changes and cancer risk in a cohort of Korean women. METHODS Study population included women aged ≥40 years who underwent 2 biennial cancer screenings (2009-2010 and 2011-2012) and were followed up until 2020. This analysis was conducted in 2021. On the basis of changes in smoking habits, participants were grouped into sustained nonsmokers, sustained quitters, new quitters, relapsers, smoking initiators, and sustained smokers. Outcomes included incident cancer cases, smoking-related cancers, and specific cancer sites. RESULTS Of 3,051,946 women, the mean age was 54.8 years, and the median follow-up was 8.9 years. Compared with sustained nonsmokers, other groups had a significantly increased risk of cancer and smoking-related cancers: sustained quitters (adjusted hazard ratio=1.05; 95% CI=1.01, 1.09), new quitters (adjusted hazard ratio=1.12; 95% CI=1.07, 1.17), and sustained smokers (adjusted hazard ratio=1.14; 95% CI=1.09, 1.19). A significantly increased risk of lung, stomach, liver, and pancreas cancers was found in sustained smokers and new quitters. Relapsers/smoking initiators showed a higher risk of liver, lung, and breast cancer than sustained nonsmokers, but the strength of their corresponding adjusted hazard ratio was generally lower than that of sustained smokers. The hazard ratio of cancer risk was 0.92 (95% CI=0.87, 0.97) among sustained quitters and 0.97 (95% CI=0.91, 1.03) among new quitters relative to that among sustained smokers. CONCLUSIONS This study found a significant association between changes in smoking behavior and cancer risk. These findings suggest that smoking cessation is critical for cancer prevention in women.

Abstract
Thyroid cancer is one of the most malignant tumors and a serious threat to human health. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that is critical for thyroid function. Since the relationship between Se and thyroid cancer remains unclear, a meta-analysis was performed to clarify the relationship. A total of five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane library) were searched for case-control studies and cohort studies on serum levels of Se and thyroid cancer published up to 13 July 2022. Seven articles consisting of 10 case-control studies and comprised of 2,205 subjects met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. From the 10 selected studies, pooled analysis indicated that thyroid cancer patients had lower serum levels of Se than healthy controls [standardized mean difference = -1.25, 95% confidence interval = (-2.07, -0.44), P = 0.003]. Our meta-analysis supports a significant relationship between serum levels of Se and thyroid cancer.
