Diabetes Res Clin Pr...
  • Greater HbA1c variability, reflecting long-term glycemic instability, was linked to adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients
  • A meta-analysis of 8 cohorts (n=59,018) showed higher risk of cardiovascular events (HR 1.82) & all-cause mortality (HR 2.18) in these patients, CKD progression showed a non-significant trend (HR 1.49)
  • Prognostic value warrants further study.

Int J Infect Dis.
  • Time to positivity (TTP) showed moderate sensitivity (71.8%-77.5%) and specificity (51.7%-70.2%) and outperformed differential time to positivity for identifying catheter-related candidemia
  • In candidemia episodes, TTP differed by source for C. albicans and C. parapsilosis
  • TTP ≤27h (C. albicans) and ≤35h (C. parapsilosis) independently predicted catheter-related candidemia (OR 5.1 & 3.1, resp.)

J Crit Care.
  • In suspected bacterial culture-negative sepsis patients, antibiotic de-escalation was not linked to increased 30-day mortality (OR 0.92), after adjusting for illness severity changes
  • Approximately two thirds of patients with suspected bacterial culture-negative sepsis underwent antibiotic de-escalation
  • Results were consistent across improvement, unchanged, and worsening groups, supporting safe stewardship.

Cardiovasc Diabetol.
  • Analyses in CHARLS (n=7,995; median follow-up 9 yrs) showed a strong link between higher atherogenic index of plasma-frailty index (AIPFI) & cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM); Q4 vs Q1 risk: HR 2.46
  • Persistently high AIPFI clusters had elevated risk: HR 1.54
  • Cumulative AIPFI also predicted CMM: HR 1.01
  • Longitudinal monitoring of the AIPFI during routine health evaluations may enhance CMM risk prediction.
