Ascites complications risk factors of decompensated cirrhosis patients: logistic regression and prediction model | BMC Gastroenterology

Cirrhosis and ascites are significant global public health challenges. Elucidating the risk factors associated with ascites in decompensated cirrhosis is crucial. Portal hypertension and low albumin levels are recognized as key drivers for ascites development within the medical community. Recent studies have also revealed associations between hepatic encephalopathy [10], alcoholic cirrhosis [11], and decreased lymphocyte … Read more

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting cognitive frailty in patients on cancer | BMC Geriatrics

Elevated cognitive frailty risk in older cancer patients The study found that 26.7% of older cancer patients had cognitive frailty, which is higher than Ho MH et al. [7] (8.2%). Examining the underlying causes, cancer patients are susceptible to frailty due to the intricate effects of the cancer and the extensive treatments involved, including surgery and … Read more

Intensive care unit-based mortality risk model construction for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome patients: a retrospective study | BMC Infectious Diseases

The investigation revealed a 51.83% mortality rate among severe SFTS patients in the ICU. GCS score, log10(virus loads), lactic acid, and CYS-C were identified as IRFs for 28-day mortality in this cohort. A nomogram, developed using these risk factors, improved prognostic accuracy for severe SFTS patients and may offer valuable clinical application. The pathogenesis of … Read more
