Published: January 2024

The changes in body composition during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients suffer from prostate cancer (PCa) are recognized by professionals more often as key for effective treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of ADT on the sarcopenia development in PCa. The following databases were used: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases. Out of 2183 studies, 7 were included in this review. The fixed-effect model was used in the meta-analysis. Significant increase in SATI: 0.32 (95%CI: 0.13-0.51) p= 0.001, de-crease in SMI: -0.38 (95% CI: -0.57 to -0.19) p < 0.0001 and SMD: -0.46 (95% CI: -0.69 to -0.24) p < 0.0001 was observed. No statistical association was visible between ADT and changes in BMI: 0.05 (95%CI: -0.18-0.28), p= 0.686 and VATI: 0.17 (95% CI: -0.02 to 0.37), p=0.074. In conclusion, the ADT significantly contributes to the body composition changes and sarcopenia development.
The Impact of Types of Recommendation System on User Satisfaction: A Moderated Mediation Analysis
Authors: HE XINYUE , LIU QI , JUNG SUNHO
Published: January 2024

A significant body of research has examined the accuracy and diversity of several types of recommendation systems. However, little is known about the psychological mechanisms underlying the effects of the different types of recommendation systems on user satisfaction. The findings of our experiment showed that user satisfaction is influenced by shopping goal. Specifically, when a user’s shopping goal aligns with the type of recommendation system, the user satisfaction is enhanced. Our study evaluated the mediating role of feeling right and psychological reactance for a better understanding of this relationship. We further tested the moderated mediation effect of feeling right and psychological reactance moderated by the user shopping goal. For goal-directed users, accurate recommendations trigger the activation of feeling right, consequently increasing the user satisfaction. Conversely, when exploratory users face accurate recommendations, they activate psychological reactance, which leads to a reduction in user satisfaction.

In the follow-up of treated high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL/CIN) lesions, cer-vical cytology has a high false-negative rate, while high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) DNA testing showed high sensitivity and lower specificity. The detection of messenger RNA of the HR-HPV E6 and E7 oncoproteins (E6/E7 mRNA) seems to be an indicator of viral integration and it allows the identification of severe lesions. Our objective was to assess the clinical utility of E6/E7 mRNA determination in the follow-up of patients treated for HSIL/CIN. A retrospective obser-vational study including 407 patients treated for HSIL/CIN was performed. The recurrence rate and the validity of E6/E7 mRNA testing were evaluated. The recurrence rate of high-grade lesions was 1.7%. The sensitivity of the test was 88% in the first clinical revision and 100% in the second and third revisions. Specificity was 91% in the first revision, 92% in the second revision, and 85% in the third revision. The positive predictive value was 18% in the first medical revision, 10% in the second and 14% in the third. The negative predictive value was 100% in all follow-up visits. In conclusion, the E6/E7 mRNA test seems to be effective in ruling out recurrence after treatment for HSIL/CIN lesions.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND This study investigated the association of postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) with cancer mortality using a general cohort of US adults. METHODS This cohort study included 14,860 US adults who attended the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1988 to 1994, with mortality being followed up to December 31, 2019. The experimental exposures were levels of plasma glucose, including PPG with a fasting time of 0-3.9 h (PPG0-3.9h) and 4-7.9 h (PPG4-7.9h), plasma glucose with a fasting time ≥ 8 h (PGfasting), and plasma glucose at 2 h after oral glucose tolerance test (PG2hOGTT). Plasma glucose-associated cancer mortality risk was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS A 1-natural-log-unit increase in PPG4-7.9h was associated with a higher multivariate-adjusted risk for cancer mortality [hazard ratio (HR), 3.24; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.50-7.00]. However, PPG0-3.9h, PGfasting, PG2hOGTT, hemoglobin A1c, and insulin were not significantly associated with cancer mortality. The positive association of PPG4-7.9h with cancer mortality remained in those without a prior diagnosis of cancer. CONCLUSIONS High PPG4-7.9h is associated with a higher cancer mortality risk in US adults. Lowering PPG4-7.9h may reduce cancer mortality.
Exploring the Interaction of E3 Ubiquitin-Protein Ligase Parkin with Natural Compound Amentoflavone: Implications for Parkinson’s Disease Therapy
Authors: Ferrari Ivan Vito
Published: January 2024

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting from progressive damage to specific brain regions. Key symptoms encompass involuntary movements (tremor), slowness of movements (bradykinesia), and muscle rigidity. Although the precise cause remains uncertain, a combination of genetic and environmental factors is believed to contribute to its development. This study focuses on the interaction of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase parkin with natural compounds. Docking investigations revealed that Amentoflavone exhibited an excellent binding energy score of approximately -10 kcal/mol. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase parkin displayed a robust binding affinity with docked amentoflavone, evident from a high binding energy of -10 kcal/mol. Nonetheless, additional biological studies are crucial not only to validate its potential efficacy against Parkinson's and assess safety in terms of toxicity but also to perform further computational analyses confirming these preliminary assessments.

Authors: Beiene Zodina A. , Tanghe Kira K. , Neitzke Colin C. , Hidaka Chisa , Lyman Stephen , Gausden Elizabeth B. , McLawhorn Alexander S.
Published: January 2024

Background:

Patients undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at widely disparate stages of osteoarthritis, raising the possibility of high heterogeneity among patients enrolled in TKA research studies. Obscuration of treatment effectiveness and other problems that may stem from cohort heterogeneity can be controlled in clinical studies by rigorously defining target patients. The purpose of this review was to determine the extent to which randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on TKA use osteoarthritis severity, as defined by radiographic grade or patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), in their inclusion criteria, and to investigate potential impact on outcome.

Methods:

A search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases used a combination of terms involving TKA, PROMs, and radiographic scoring. A total of 1,227 studies were independently reviewed by 2 screeners for the above terms. RCTs with ≥100 patients (236) and with <100 patients (325) undergoing TKA were analyzed with regard to the specific inclusion criteria and recruitment process.

Results:

Among the identified RCTs with ≥100 patients, 18 (<8%, with a total of 2,952 randomized patients) used specific radiographic scoring or PROM thresholds in their inclusion criteria. Eleven of the 18 studies used specific radiographic scoring, such as the Kellgren-Lawrence or Ahlbäck classifications. Three studies used preoperative PROM thresholds: Knee Society Knee Score of <60, Knee Society Function Score of <60, Oxford Knee Score of <20, and Hospital for Special Surgery Score of <60. Among studies with <100 patients, 48 (<15%) used specific inclusion criteria.

Conclusions:

The vast majority of RCTs (>85%) did not enroll patients based on disease severity, as measured by PROM score thresholds or radiographic classifications, in their inclusion criteria. The lack of consistent inclusion criteria likely results in heterogeneous cohorts, potentially undermining the validity of RCTs on TKA.

Published: January 2024

In the current fast-paced digital work environment, it has become crucial for individuals to cultivate a deep understanding of the constantly changing nature of the job market. With jobs and career paths becoming increasingly indistinct and unpredictable, developing awareness of the digital work world is more important than ever. This research empirically investigated the degree to which the world of work readiness and competency of distance learning students could serve as predictors for their digital work world awareness. Data were collected from (N = 486) full-time employed undergraduate students at a comprehensive South African distance learning institution. Regression analysis and structural equation modelling were used in the cross-sectional, quantitative study. The study emphasised the significance of developing job certitude, business ingenuity and socio-digital agility as part of students’ career development learning to improve their awareness of the digital work environment. The study enhanced comprehension of the implicit function of students’ work readiness and competency in relation to significant digital-era awareness.
Crime Victimization on Discrimination within the Family and Elderly Living Alone: A Moderated Moderation Effect of Satisfaction with Non-family Relationships
Authors:   Korean Association of Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Park Eun Seo , Cho Young Il
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to verify the protection effect of the social network against criminal damage of the elderly. To this end, the moderating effect of whether or not to live alone was verified in the relationship between discrimination in the elderly's family and criminal damage. Furthermore, the moderated moderating effect of satisfaction with non-family relationships was verified. We utilized data from 5,427 people out of the 2020 elderly survey data and analyze using the SPSS 25.0 program and PROCESS Macro 4.2. The results showed experiencing discrimination in the family increased the experience of crime damage of the elderly. This relationship was moderated by whether or not to live alone. Specifically, the relationship between experiencing discrimination in the family and increasing the crime damage of the elderly was greater in non-living alone than in the elderly living alone. In addition, in the relationship between discrimination in the family and crime damage, the moderating effect of whether to live alone was moderated by satisfaction with non-family relationships. Satisfaction with non-family relationships has a greater effect on alleviating the relationship between discrimination and crime damage in the family in the elderly living alone. The results of this study suggest that the elderly can alternatively receive protection from non-family relationships if they are vulnerable to criminal damage because they do not receive protection from their families. Based on the results of the study, policy proposals to prevent criminal damage to the elderly were discussed.
The Impact of Positive Police Contact Experiences with Different Types of Media on Police Trust: A Focus on Average Comparisons Based on Individual Demographic and Sociological Characteristics
Authors:   Korean Association of Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Park Ju Ae , Yun Sang Gu , Lee Chang-Bae
Published: January 2024

This study, based on the cultivation theory, aimed to verify the impact of positive police contact experiences through different types of media on citizens' trust in the police. Specifically, it was hypothesized that positive contact experiences with the police may vary depending on the type of media, and such variations may have different effects on citizens' trust in the police. Additionally, considering individual characteristics, the study assumed that the types of media frequently encountered may differ, and it sought to validate whether positive police contact experiences based on actual media types exhibit variations according to individuals' demographic and sociological characteristics. The types of media included both traditional one-way media (TV programs, TV news, movies) and two-way media (internet articles, social media). The analysis results are as follows. First, among the five types of media, positive police contact experiences through TV programs, TV news, internet articles, and social media services had a positive impact on citizens' trust in the police. Second, among individual demographic and sociological characteristics, there were average differences in positive police contact based on age. Specifically, positive police contact experiences through TV news were more prevalent among those aged 60 and above compared to those aged 20-30, and positive police contact experiences through internet articles were higher on average for individuals aged 50-60 compared to those in their 30s. Based on these results, the study aims to propose effective strategies for media usage to enhance police trust.
An Analysis of Courts’ Sentencing Trends for Homicides Under Intoxication in South Korea
Authors:   Korean Association of Public Safety and Criminal Justice, Lee Jang Wook
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to derive implications after analyzing trends related to the courts’ decision on mental disorder defense and the consideration of intoxication in sentencing in homicide under intoxication cases. In order to achieve this goal, the first trial judgments sentenced over the past two years in Korea were collected as subjects of analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First, in the case of homicide under intoxication, the attack on acquaintances, the manslaughter, and the use of weapons were found to be far more common than the attack on strangers, the murder, and the non-use of weapons. In addition, there were many cases of unmotivated murder while intoxicated. Second, except for one case, the rest of the mental disorder defenses were rejected, and one case in which a minor mental disorder was accepted was not commuted. The main reasons for rejection were prediction and preparation of crime in advance, a clear mental state at the time of the crime, an attempt to conceal evidences, and the memory of the circumstances of the crime. Third, in most cases that reflected the defendants’ intoxication as the sentencing factors, intoxication was considered in favor of sentencing. Furthermore, courts suspended prison sentence in more than half of these cases. This trial practice does not meet the purpose of the sentencing committee’s sentencing criteria, which recommends that alcoholic intoxication should not be reflected as a sentencing factor.

Published: January 2024

In this article, the concept of pseudo-irreducible ideals in a residuated lattice is introduced and we consider its relationship with some important concepts of residuated lattices such as prime ideal and maximal ideal. Then using this concept, we define and study complete comaximal decomposition in residuated lattices. In particular, we characterize residuated lattices whose proper ideals can be written as an intersection of pairwise comaximal of finitely many pseudo-irreducible ideals.

Published: January 2024

Dichroic techniques are highly relevant in the field of topological materials, layered systems, and spin-polarized electronic states. Dichroism in angle-resolved photoemission is per se a matrix element effect, which depends on the initial and final states as well as on the perturbation by the light field. Although matrix element effects in ARPES such as dichroism are important for addressing properties of the initial state wave functions, the results can strongly depend on experimental geometry or final state effects. Combining experimental data on bulk WSe2 taken at soft x-ray photon energies with state-of-the-art photoemission calculations, we demonstrate that a dichroic observable called time-reversal dichroism remains unaffected against variation of photon energy, light polarization, and the angle of incidence. The robustness of this matrix element effect indicates a considerable benefit over other dichroic techniques and encourages further experimental and theoretical investigations.
Environmental Impact Assessment of Export Processing Zone Using Deep Learning-Based Approach: A Case Study of Mongla EPZ
Authors: Ahmed Faishal , Uddin Md Shihab , Saha Ovi Ranjan
Published: January 2024

The transformation induced by development in our environment leads to pollution, impacting both human life and economic output. Coastal regions, particularly vulnerable in the era of global climate change, bear significant ecological importance for habitation. The establishment of the Mongla Export Processing Zone in 1998 in the coastal thana of Mongla, Bangladesh, renowned for its seaport, has resulted in pronounced challenges such as salinity intrusion and diminished agricultural fertility. This study, spanning from 2007 to 2023, scrutinizes the influence of land use and land cover (LULC) on the land surface temperature (LST), urban heat island (UHI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and normalized difference water index (NDWI) in the Mongla EPZ. Employing a deep learning-based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model, predictions for 2027 and 2031 are derived. A noteworthy finding revolves around settlement dynamics, with virtually no settlement before 2011, experiencing a substantial increase (8.27%) thereafter. The NDWI analysis underscores the region's drought-free status before 2011, evolving into exposure to severe (10.12%) and moderate (15.06%) drought conditions with increased industrialization. The vegetation undergoes an inverse transformation. The mean temperature exhibits an ascending trend due to industrialization, soaring from 18.9°C in 2007 to 21.61°C in 2023. The predictive CA-ANN algorithm anticipates a further rise, projecting a substantial portion of the LST escalating to 27 degrees Celsius, covering an estimated 28.33% of the municipal area by 2031. Additionally, areas with LST values 2°C higher than the surroundings are expected to reach 6.5% by 2031. The study underscores the profound impact of industrialization within EPZs on the surrounding environment and ecosystem.

Authors: Abraham Tizita , Mamo Ephrem , Abrar Alferid , Solomon Ananya
Published: January 2024

Background: Cesarean delivery (CD) is defined as the birth of a fetus, placenta or membrane from the uterus through an abdominal incision after 28 weeks of gestation. Lifesaving interventionscan be used for mothers and babies when vaginal delivery is contraindicated. If not medically indicated or if performed under suboptimal conditions, CD can cause maternal and fetal complications.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the indication and outcome of CD and associated factors for cesarean delivery in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 422 CDs from Yekatit 12 Hospital Medical College, Janmeda Health Center and Kotebe Health Center were included in the study. Mothers and newborns were followed for the first seven days of life, at the time of discharge, or at the time of death; whichever came first was considered the last time of data collection. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics are presented as frequencies. A chi-square test was performed to evaluate the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
Results and Conclusion: Emergency CDaccounts for 75.4% of the total cesarean deliveries. From clinical indications, a nonreassuring fetal heart rate pattern was the most common indication, followed by cephalopelvic disproportion. 5.9% of mothers had maternal complications. Repeat CD, emergency CD and mothers with antepartum hemorrhage were shown to be associated with maternal complications. The neonatal death rate was 3%. Nulliparity, hypertensive disorder during pregnancy, gestational age, the APGAR score and the need for immediate neonatal resuscitation were found to be significantly associated with neonatal death.

Background and Purpose Anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists is recommended within 3 to 6 months after bioprosthetic valve replacement for preventing thromboembolic events, but data is limited about whether DOACs can be an alternative to warfarin in this situation. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of edoxaban compared with warfarin in patients within 3 months after bioprosthetic valve replacement.Methods The ENBALV trial is an investigator-initiated, phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study. The subjects are patients undergoing bioprosthetic valve replacement at aortic and/or mitral position between 18 and 85 years of age. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive either edoxaban or warfarin. Administration of edoxaban or warfarin is to be continued for 12 weeks after surgery. The primary outcome is the occurrence rate of stroke or systemic embolism at 12 weeks after surgery. The net clinical outcome is a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or major bleeding, which is included in the secondary outcomes.Conclusion and Perspectives The first patient was enrolled in April 2022. We recruited 24 hospitals and we have enrolled 385 patients as of December 2023. ENBALV trial demonstrates the efficacy and safety of edoxaban compared with warfarin in patients early after bioprosthetic valve replacement including patients with sinus rhythm, which will bring a significant benefit to patients in clinical practice.Trial Registration Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT) 2051210209.

Exposing soybean seeds to low-temperature stress during the germination stage can lead to a substantial reduction in productivity. At present, there is limited information on the genetic mechanisms associated with cold tolerance during the soybean germination stage. In this study, we assessed the germination phenotype of a population of 260 soybean accessions under low-temperature stress (3°C). Using a mixed linear model, we performed a genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) of 30,799 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and identified a total of 71 SNPs associated with cold tolerance. SNP (BARC_2.01 Chr18_53718636_A_G) was associated with two traits: (1) the ratio of germination potential under low-temperature stress to germination potential under normal conditions (CT-GP) and (2) the germination potential at 3°C. Within the linked genetic region of this marker, there were six genes, including Glyma.18g250900 and Glyma.18g251400, which exhibited differential expression levels in two groups of materials with different cold tolerances. These two genes had 4 and 3 haplotypes, respectively. Soybean germplasms harboring Glyma.18g250900-Hap3, Glyma.18g251400-Hap2, and Glyma.18g251400-Hap3 exhibited strong cold tolerance during the germination stage. Glyma.18g250900 and Glyma.18g251400 were predicted to be potential candidate genes involved in the response of soybean germination to low-temperature stress. The SNPs and candidate genes identified in this study have important implications for marker-assisted selection and gene editing in cold-tolerant soybean breeding and provide a valuable reference for understanding the underlying genetic mechanisms of cold tolerance in soybean germination.

The DSSAT CANEGRO model was calibrated and verified using field experimental data from five Tamil Nadu Agroclimatic Zones (1981–2022). The genetic coefficients of the sugarcane cultivar CO-86032 were calculated. R2 obtained between measured and simulated stalk fresh mass was 0.9 with the nRMSE (0.01) and RMSE (1.6) and R2 between measured and simulated sucrose mass was 0.9 with the nRMSE (0.16) and RMSE (1.2). For yield R2 obtained between measured and simulated was 0.9 with the nRMSE (0.01) and RMSE (1.6). As a result, the CANEGRO model may be used to mimic the phenology and yield features of the sugarcane cultivar (CO-86032) in Tamil Nadu's Agro Climatic Zones. The increasing temperature lowered the yield to varying degrees in each ACZ. A 2oC increase frequently leads in a 3% loss in average yield. A 3oC increase in temperature reduced yield by 5%, and a 4oC increase in temperature reduced yield by 9%.The WR rose throughout all of the ACZ due to the high temperature, but to differing degrees. A 2oC increase often results in an average 4% increase in the WR. The WR rose by 9% when the temperature was raised by 3oC, and by 13% when the temperature was raised by 4oC.

Corrosion-induced defects, often extensive and unavoidable in marine structures, significantly compromise structural performance, posing a substantial risk to safety. To investigate the residual axial compression strength of corroded circular hollow section (CHS) steel tubes and evaluate the reparative effects of composite patches, a feasibility analysis is conducted through verifying the axial compression performance of a corroded tube with uniformly distributed corrosion pits and a perfect tube strengthened by Aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP). Subsequently, mechanical responses of the corroded and AFRP-repaired tubes are studied, and parametric studies are undertaken to comprehensively evaluate the influence of the corrosion region, as well as the depths and densities of the corrosion pits. Consequently, critical damage modes of the AFRP patches are explored using a VUMAT subroutine developed based on Hashin failure and Yeh delamination damage criteria. Numerical predictions indicate that composite patches improve the structural residual strength, but not necessarily enhance the structural ductility under diverse failure patterns. In addition, AFRP patches are conductive to improve the structural overall load-bearing capacity through alleviating the local buckling or regional collapse. Moreover, fiber compression damage emerges as the dominant mode, significantly influenced by the mechanical properties of the putty agent. The premature failure of the putty initiates stress concentration, intensifies subcritical damage, aggravates critical damage, and expedites final failure.

Background Synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteomyelitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare disease characterized by combined osteoarticular and cutaneous manifestations. The diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome remains difficult due to its clinical heterogeneity and often requires the identification of infectious neoplasm and other bone abnormalities. Surgical treatment of pathological fractures caused by SAPHO syndrome is extremely rare. We report the first surgical case of a pathological clavicle fracture with SAPHO syndrome. Case presentation: A 53-year-old male patient came to our Orthopedic Surgery Department in 2022, complaining of right shoulder pain for 4 months, aggravated with activity limitation for 3 days. And the patient presented with cutaneous lesions on the right upper extremity. Based on the clinical manifestations, imaging findings, bone scintigraphy findings and bone puncture pathology, the diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome was made. Notably, the patient also suffered pathological fracture of the ipsilateral clavicle. We treated the clavicle with open reduction and internal fixation and found satisfactory results at the subsequent 6-month follow-up. Conclusions This case shows the efficacy and safety of open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of pathological fractures caused by SAPHO syndrome. We hope to provide valuable information regarding the treatment of SAPHO syndrome in this case which makes clinical data more comprehensive.

Published: January 2024

Background
Despite decades of recognition, 1 in 10 patients suffer harm in hospitals in highincome countries. Strengthening the safety culture is essential, with strategies to integrate it into healthcare processes. This scoping review aims to map patient safety culture strengthening strategies described in the literature.
Method: This scoping review follows the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. It adhered to all scoping review checklist items (PRISMA-ScR) with searches in the databases: LILACS, MedLine, IBECS, and PubMed, and on the official websites of national and international patient safety organizations. Eligibility criteria included studies that addressed the guiding question, published without language restrictions, in the last ten years, derived from fully, freely, and openly published research in journals available in the selected databases, consistent with the proposed objective, and with the descriptors listed in the search. The research took place during the year 2023.
Results: The included studies were 58, comprising 52 articles and 6 documents from health organizations. The most described strategies were communication (69.0%), followed by teamwork (58.6%), and active leadership (56.9%). Various strategies were identified and grouped into seven categories based on similarity, highlighting the need for a comprehensive organizational approach to improve patient care.
Conclusion: The identified strategies promote the development of a culture in which an organization can achieve patient safety, involving practices and attitudes that reduce risks and errors in healthcare. However, it is limited to identifying strategies and does not assess their effectiveness in improving the patient safety culture. Therefore, we recommend implementing, in clinical practice, the strategies listed in the literature.

Background : Despite the progress made in recent years in the treatment of Heart Failure (HF), its prognosis remains poor in the developing country. The objective of this study is to analyze the survival and predictors of mortality of patients with heart failure in the cardiology department of the Basse Terre Hospital Center in Guadeloupe.
Methods: this was a historical cohort study carried out over a period from June 2021 to June 2022, targeting all heart failure patients undergoing cardiac monitoring in the cardiology department of the Basse Terre Hospital Center in Guadeloupe. Sociodemographic, clinical, biological characteristics and outcome (recovery or death) were studied. Survival was described using the Kaplan Meier method α=5%.
Results: this study involved 242 heart failure patients whose median age was 75 years and the majority were male (sex ratio 2M/1F). Among these patients, 14.9% died, the most common cause of death was cardiogenic shock (52.8%). After adjustment, tobacco consumption (aHR: 2.90; 95% CI: 1.36-8.09), CKD (aHR: 2.52; 95% CI: 1.22-5.20), infection (aHR: 2.14; 95CI %: 1.99-4.58), hyponatremia (aHR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.10-2.86), mitral regurgitation (aHR: 3.04; 95% CI: 1.98-9.47) and NTproBNP >10000ng/ml (aHR: 2.57; 95% CI: 1.21-5.49) were independently associated with the risk of death in heart failure patients.
Conclusion: HF causes high mortality due mainly to cardiogenic shock and factors of multi-organ failure.
