ReviewOutcomes of Acute Respiratory Failure in Patients With Cancer in the United States.
To determine the epidemiological effect-magnitude and outcomes of patients with cancer vs those without cancer who are hospitalized with acute respiratory failure (ARF). ⋯ In the United States, patients with cancer account for over 10% of ARF hospital admissions (959,720 of 8,837,209). They experience an approximately 2-fold higher mortality versus those without cancer. Those with hematologic cancers appear to experience worse outcomes than patients with solid-organ cancers.

Physical Activity and Cause-Specific Cardiovascular Mortality Among People With and Without Cardiovascular Disease: A Cohort Study of 0.6 Million US Adults.
To assess the association of physical activity (PA) with cause-specific cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among people with preexisting CVD and to analyze the relationship of PA with CVD-related mortality in people without CVD as well as the association of PA with nonspecific CVD mortality in both populations. ⋯ Physical activity was strongly associated with lower risk of CVD-, CHD-, and stroke-related mortality among people with a history of these specific diseases. Health care professionals should emphasize the importance of a physically active lifestyle in patients with CVD.
