Abstract
BACKGROUND The double burden of malnutrition, defined as the coexistence of obesity and malnutrition, is an increasing global health concern and is unclear in patients after ischemic stroke. The current study explored the combined impacts of obesity and malnutrition on patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS We conducted a single-center prospective cohort study with patients with ischemic stroke enrolled in Minhang Hospital in China between January 2018 and December 2022. Patients were stratified into four categories based on their obesity (defined by body mass index) and nutritional status (classified according to the Controlling Nutritional Status score): (1) nourished nonobese, (2) malnourished nonobese, (3) nourished obese, and (4) malnourished obese. The primary end points were poor outcomes and all-cause mortality at 3 months. RESULTS A total of 3160 participants with ischemic stroke were included in our study, of which 64.7% were male and the mean age was 69 years. Over 50% of patients were malnourished. At 3-month follow-up, the malnourished nonobese had the worst outcomes (34.4%), followed by the malnourished obese (33.2%), nourished nonobese (25.1%), and nourished obese (21.8%; P < 0.001). In multivariable analyses, with nourished nonobese group as the reference, the malnourished nonobese group displayed poorer outcomes (odds ratio [OR], 1.395 [95% CI, 1.169-1.664], P < 0.001) and higher all-cause mortality (OR, 1.541 [95% CI, 1.054-2.253], P = 0.026), but only a nonsignificant increase in poor prognosis rate (33.2% vs. 25.1%, P = 0.102) and mortality (4.2% vs. 3.6%, P = 0.902) were observed in the malnourished obese group. CONCLUSION A high prevalence of malnutrition is observed in the large population suffering from ischemic attack, even in the obese. Malnourished patients have the worst prognosis particularly in those with severe nutritional status regardless of obesity, while the best functional outcomes and the lowest mortality are demonstrated in nourished obese participants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Limited evidence exists on the prognostic outcomes of the blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (B/A ratio) in congestive heart failure (CHF), particularly in developing countries with scarce heart failure epidemiological data. We aimed to investigate the association between B/A ratio and short-term outcomes in Chinese patients with CHF. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 1761 CHF patients with available B/A ratio data from a cohort of 2008 patients. Patients were categorized into three groups based on B/A ratio (low to high). The primary endpoint was death or readmission within 28 days, and the secondary endpoint was death or readmission within 90 days. We employed restricted cubic spline analysis, Cox proportional hazards regression, and Kaplan-Meier curves to evaluate the relationship between B/A ratio at admission and the endpoints. Even after adjusting for other variables, higher B/A ratios were associated with increased rates of 28 days and 90 days mortality or readmission (HR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.81-3.18 and HR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.48-2.05). Significant differences in the risks of both primary and secondary endpoints were observed among the three B/A ratio groups. The association between B/A ratio and CHF was stable in the different subgroups (all P for interaction>0.05). CONCLUSION Higher B/A ratios are associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality or readmission in Chinese patients with CHF. The B/A ratio shows promise as a prognostic indicator for short-term outcomes in CHF patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to conduct a matched-pair analysis to assess the impact of radiotherapy (RT) on patients with malignant tracheal tumors using the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database. Additionally, a predictive nomogram was developed for patients with malignant tracheal tumors. METHODS Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize bias between the RT and no-RT groups. We utilized both univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to identify independent prognostic factors for patients and subgroups. We developed a novel nomogram and evaluated its results using the C-index. RESULTS A total of 648 patients between 1975 and 2019 were included, and 160 patients in RT were 1:1 propensity score-matched with no-RT. The independent prognostic factors for patients with tracheal malignant tumors were surgery, marital status, disease extension, pathology, and age. The independent risk factors for patients without surgery included RT and disease extension. The C-index confirmed that the nomogram accurately predicted the prognosis of patients with tracheal malignant tumors. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that RT may provide a survival benefit for tracheal cancer patients who did not undergo surgery. The nomogram can be a useful tool for predicting prognosis in patients with tracheal malignant tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs) increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and are also strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a bidirectional relationship. However, the association of OSA with recurrent cardiovascular events in ACS patients based on the number of SMuRFs remains unclear. Hence, we aimed to elucidate the prognostic implication of OSA in ACS patients stratified by the number of SMuRFs. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of the OSA-ACS study (NCT03362385), including 1927 patients admitted for ACS and undergoing portable sleep monitoring. OSA was defined as an apnea hypopnea index ≥ 15 events/h. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure, and ischemia-driven revascularization. Cox proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to investigated the relationship between OSA and subsequent cardiovascular events after patients were stratified by the number of SMuRFs. RESULTS Among 1927 patients enrolled, 130 (6.7%) had no SMuRF, 1264 (65.6%) exhibited 1-2 SMuRFs and 533 (27.7%) presented 3-4 SMuRFs. With the increase of the number of SMuRFs, the proportion of OSA in ACS patients tended to increase (47.7% vs. 51.5% vs. 56.6%), but there was no significant difference between them (P = 0.08). After the stratification of ACS patients via SMuRF numbers and adjustment for confounding factors, fully adjusted Cox regression indicated that OSA increased the risk of MACCE (adjusted HR, 1.65; 95%CI, 1.06-2.57; P = 0.026) and ischemia-driven revascularization (adjusted HR, 2.18; 95%CI, 1.03-4.65; P = 0.042) in ACS patients with 3-4 SMuRFs. CONCLUSIONS In hospitalized ACS patients, OSA is associated with an increased risk of MACCE and ischemia-driven revascularization among patients with 3-4 SMuRFs. Therefore, screening for OSA should be emphasized in ACS patients with 3-4 SMuRFs, and intervention trials should be prioritized in these high-risk patients.

Abstract
Literature of patients with severe high-gradient aortic stenosis (HG AS) (mean pressure gradient [MPG] ≥ 40 mmHg and aortic valve area [AVA] ≥ 1.0 cm2) remains limited. This study seeks to compare the prognostic outcomes of patients with high-gradient concordant (HGCON-AS) and discordant AS (HGDIS-AS) in an Asian cohort. From 2010 to 2015, patients with moderate-to-severe AS with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≥ 50%) were recruited and stratified into 3 groups based on index echocardiogram-(1) HGDIS-AS, (2) HGCON-AS and (3) moderate AS (MOD-AS). The primary study endpoints was all-cause mortality, with secondary endpoints of congestive heart failure (CHF) admissions and aortic valve replacement (AVR). Multivariable Cox regression was used and Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed to evaluate associations between HGDIS-AS, HGCON-AS and MOD-AS, and the study outcomes. A total of 467 patients were studied, comprising of 6.2% HGDIS-AS, 13.9% HGCON-AS and 79.9% MOD-AS patients. There was significantly higher AVR rates in the HGCON-AS group (58.5%), followed by HGDIS-AS (31.0%) and MOD-AS (4.6%), p < 0.001) groups. After adjusting for confounders, HGCON-AS was significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR 3.082, 95% CI 1.479-6.420, p = 0.003) and CHF admissions (HR 12.728, 95% CI 2.922-55.440 p = 0.001) but not HGDIS-AS, with MOD-AS as the reference group. Both HGDIS-AS (HR 7.715, 95% CI 2.927-20.338; p < 0.001) and HGCON-AS (HR 21.960, 95% CI 10.833-44.515, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of AVR. After exclusion of reversible high-flow states, HGDIS-AS patients appear to have a more favourable prognostic profile compared to HGCON-AS patients. Large prospective interventional studies examining the prognostic differences between the two groups will be the next important step.

Abstract
Introduction The Cancer Patient Pathway for Non-specific Symptoms and Signs of Cancer (NSSC-CPP) has been implemented in Denmark with regional and intra-regional differences. In some places, the initial diagnostic work-up (often including a CT scan) is performed by general practitioners (GPs) and in others by hospitals. Variations may influence the use of Organ Specific Cancer Patient Pathways (OS-CPPs) and prognostic outcomes for the patients. Therefore, the aims were: 1) To analyse how a CT scan referred from GP or hospital is followed by OS-CPPs and NSSC-CPPs at the national and regional level, and 2) To analyse, nationally and regionally, the diagnostic outcomes of persons referred to CT scan by either GP or hospital six months after and mortality one year after CT scan. Methods A nationwide population-based study including individuals with a first CT scan in 2013-2016, either referred from GP or hospital. Results Overall, individuals with a CT scan referred from GPs were more likely to start a NSSC-CPP or an OS-CPP than individuals with a CT scan referred by hospitals. Across the five Regions in Denmark, CT scans referred by GPs were associated with reduced odds of total mortality in all regions; (North, OR=0.78 [0.73 0.83], Central, OR=0.92 [0.87 0.96], South, OR=0.85 [0.81 0.89], Capital, OR=0.96 [0.91 1.00] and Zealand, OR=0.85 [0.79 0.90]) and increased odds of cancer-specific mortality in four regions, ORs ranging from 1.15-1.51 with no difference in Region North (1.00 [0.91 1.10]). Conclusion No obvious association between more CT scans and CPPs and reduced diagnoses and mortality was observed. The different diagnostic models might not explain the prognostic outcomes, but the different use of CT scans in, and between Regions play a large role in the differences in incidence and mortality.
