Review Meta Analysis
The national burden of mortality and its associated factors among burn patients in Ethiopia. A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Despite all advances in burn prevention, treatment, acute care, and rehabilitation, burn injuries continue to cause significant mortality and disability in Ethiopia. Thus, this review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the pooled prevalence and the determinants of mortality in Ethiopia. ⋯ The national prevalence of mortality among burn patients in Ethiopia was high. The extent of burn, presence of comorbidity, and 3rd degree burns were significant predictors of mortality. We strongly recommend that health care workers give special attention to burn patients with greater extent and depth of burn, and for those who have comorbid diseases.

Meta Analysis Comparative Study
High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy versus noninvasive ventilation in acute respiratory failure related to suspected or confirmed acute heart failure: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
The objective of this review is to compare high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen (High flow oxygen) and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for the management of acute respiratory failure secondary to suspected or confirmed acute heart failure (AHF). A comprehensive and relevant literature search of MEDLINE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library was conducted using Medical Subject Heading and Free text terms from January 2010 to March 2024. All randomized clinical trials and observational retrospective and prospective studies reporting adult patients with acute respiratory failure due to suspected or confirmed AHF and comparing HFNC to NIV were included. ⋯ Tracheal intubation requirement was 7% and 5% of patients in the HFNC and NIV groups, respectively (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 0.5-3.5) in randomized studies, and 20% and 9% in the high flow oxygen and NIV group, respectively (OR: 2.1, 95% CI: 0.5-9.4) in observational studies. Mortality was 13% and 8% in the high flow oxygen and the NIV groups, respectively (OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 0.8-1.1) in randomized studies and 14% and 9% in the high flow oxygen and the NIV groups, respectively (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 0.5-3.7) in observational studies. Compared with NIV, high flow oxygen was not associated with a higher risk of treatment failure during initial management of patients with acute respiratory failure related to suspected or confirmed AHF.

Impact of Covert Brain Infarction Following Coronary Angiography on Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Outcomes.
To determine the association between preoperative covert brain infarction following coronary angiography (CAG) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). ⋯ Among patients undergoing elective CABG, there was no significant association between covert brain infarction following CAG and the occurrence of MACCEs within 30 days or long-term mortality after CABG.

Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are recognized as independent risk factors for many diseases. However, studies investigating their associations with total and cause-specific mortality in low-income and Black populations are limited, particularly among older adults. ⋯ High sitting time is an independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality, and LTPA could partially attenuate the adverse association of prolonged sitting time with mortality.

Meta Analysis
Physical activity volume, intensity, and mortality: Harmonized meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.
It is unclear whether moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is associated with a lower mortality risk, over and above its contribution to total physical activity volume. ⋯ The total volume of physical activity was associated with a lower risk of mortality to a greater extent than the contribution of MVPA to physical activity volume. Integrating any intensity of physical activity into daily life may lower mortality risk in middle-aged and older adults, with a small added benefit if the same amount of activity is performed with a higher intensity.
