Randomized Controlled TrialClinical risk score for postoperative pneumonia following heart valve surgery.
Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is one of the most common infections following heart valve surgery (HVS) and is associated with a significant increase in morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. This study aimed to identify the major risk factors associated with the occurrence of POP following HVS and to derive and validate a clinical risk score. ⋯ We derived and validated a 22-point risk score for POP following HVS, which may be useful in preventive interventions and risk management.

Multicenter StudyA retrospective clinical study of patients with pregnancy-associated breast cancer among multiple centers in China (CSBrS-008).
Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is a special type of breast cancer that occurs during pregnancy and within 1 year after childbirth. With the rapid social development and the adjustment of reproductive policies in China, the average age of females at first childbirth is increasing, which is expected to lead to an increase in the incidence of PABC. This study aimed to accumulate clinical experience and to investigate and summarize the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of PABC based on large multicenter samples in China. ⋯ It is safe and feasible to standardize surgery and chemotherapy for PABC.

Association between time in range and cancer mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohort study.
Little was known about the association among time in range (TIR), time above range (TAR), time below range (TBR), and cancer mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to investigate the association among TIR, TAR, TBR, and the risk of cancer mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes. ⋯ The present study found an inverse association of TIR with the risk of cancer mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes. New evidence of TIR was added into the clinical practice that TIR may be an optimal target of glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes.
