To analyze the impact of injury mortality changes on life expectancy (LE) in Tianjin in 2021 compared with 2003 by age, gender, urban-rural, and cause-specific differences. ⋯ During 2003-2021, the decline in injury mortality rates among children and young to middle-aged individuals in Tianjin played a crucial role in the increase of LE. It is essential to enhance primary prevention efforts, particularly focusing on key populations, to reduce the negative impact on LE growth from intentional self-harm, other accidents and adverse effects, motor vehicle traffic accidents, and falls.

Preoperative cardiology consultations for geriatric patients with hip fractures rarely provide additional recommendations and are associated with prolonged hospital stays and delayed surgery: a retrospective case control study.
Hip fractures are increasingly common among the elderly population, who often present with a high burden of comorbidities necessitating preoperative stabilization. As a result, preoperative cardiology consultations are frequently conducted in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the additional recommendations provided by preoperative cardiology consultations and the impact of consultations on the management and outcomes of elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. ⋯ Preoperative cardiology consultations before hip fracture surgery rarely leads to a change in treatment. Additionally, these evaluations delay surgery and extend the hospital stay.

High Postreperfusion Pulmonary Artery Pressure Is Associated With Increased 30-Day Mortality in Liver Transplantation.
To explore the incidence, risk factors, and impact of elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) on 30-day mortality in liver transplantation (LT). ⋯ mPAP is frequently elevated after graft reperfusion during LT, but its influence on clinical outcomes remains unclear. This retrospective study found a 7.3% rate of high PAP following reperfusion in LT, and high postreperfusion PAP was associated with 30-day mortality.

Although the incidence and case fatality (CF) of acute myocardial ischaemic syndrome (AMIS) have declined in recent decades, some studies have suggested a potential stagnation in this decline. We examined if a similar development in AMIS trends can be observed in Finland from 1996 to 2021 among persons aged 35-74 years. ⋯ AMIS mortality declined in all groups, but the decline in AMIS incidence slowed down and even stopped in women. Incidence was unchanged during the study period in women aged 35-54 years. These results emphasize the need for further efforts in prevention of cardiovascular disease, particularly in young and middle-aged women.

The demographics of the population with spinal cord injury (SCI) have been dynamic over time, especially as a result of aging. This study investigated the patterns of SCI admissions by age in the United States over the past decade. ⋯ The incidence of SCI increased. High cervical and incomplete injuries increased, whereas complete SCIs declined. In-hospital and 1-year mortality decreased. There was recovery in select cases of complete SCIs within 1 year.
