Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD) frequently affects the elderly, with inflammation playing a crucial role in related health complications, including dementia, stroke, and SVD. Studies, animal experiments, indicate strong link between SVD progression. The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) serves as possible biomarker for ongoing inflammatory risks. A total of 720 adults aged 50 years or older from community-based I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study were included this study. General linear...
This study examines the predictive value of elevated N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) levels for mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Data from 768 ESRD patients, excluding those cancer or lost follow-up, were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models over three years. Results indicated that very high NT-pro BNP had shorter average survival times a significantly higher risk (hazard ratio 1.43). Advanced age, ICU...
