Low body mass index (BMI) is an independent predictor of prolonged hospital stay and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, to the best our knowledge, no studies have examined validity Asian BMI cutoff values for classifying severity based on Global Leadership Initiative Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria acute COPD exacerbations. This study sought validate whether can accurately predict 30-day in-hospital mortality, length stay, 90-day readmission...

Nutritional support is essential for patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) to ensure the smooth provision of medical care. These often require long-term tube feeding enteral formulas, potentially leading deficiencies in vitamins trace elements. Additionally, frequent antibiotic use infections disrupts gut microbiota, inhibiting vitamin K2 production by intestinal bacteria. We assessed serum protein induced K absence or antagonists-II (PIVKA-II) undercarboxylated...
