AIMS: To compare the predictive value of inflammatory biomarkers and lipids for vascular and non-vascular mortality in older men. METHODS AND RESULTS: The relevance of inflammatory biomarkers and lipids for vascular and non-vascular mortality was assessed in a prospective study of 5360 men (mean age 77 years) followed for 7 years. Vascular mortality was positively associated with log C-reactive protein (lnCRP), fibrinogen and total/HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and inversely associated with albumin [age adjusted hazard ratio (HR) per 2-SD higher usual level (approximately the difference between the top and the bottom thirds of the distribution): 2.09 for lnCRP; 1.70 for fibrinogen; 0.50 for albumin and 1.45 for total/HDL-C]. The associations with the inflammatory markers were attenuated after adjustment for established risk factors, including lipids [adjusted HRs: 1.86 (lnCRP); 1.44 (fibrinogen); 0.51 (albumin)], and further attenuated (and, for fibrinogen, no longer predictive) after adjustment for each other [fully adjusted HRs: 1.60 (lnCRP); 1.01 (fibrinogen); 0.61 (albumin)]. Higher CRP and lower albumin levels were also associated with significantly raised non-vascular mortality independently of other characteristics [fully adjusted HRs: 1.62 (lnCRP); 0.65 (albumin)]. CONCLUSION: In this cohort of older men, higher CRP and lower albumin levels strongly predicted both vascular and non-vascular mortality, independently of other characteristics. 相似文献

Mortality and fatal pulmonary embolism rates in 936 consecutive primary total knee replacements (TKR) were determined during a 3-month postoperative period. Postmortem examinations verified the cause of death in all but 3 patients, and follow-up was performed on all but 1 patient. All patients had elastic stockings as mechanical prophylaxis. No deaths occurred from pulmonary embolism confirmed by postmortem examinations. At worst, the fatal pulmonary embolism rate was 0.43% (4/936; confidence interval [CI]=0.14%-1.17%). The all-cause mortality rate was 0.64% (6/936; CI=0.26%-1.46%). The patient mortality was compared with the population mortality of England and Wales using standardized mortality ratios. The standardized mortality ratios for both sexes combined was 0.74 (CI=0.29-1.52). A lower mortality was observed in women (0.67) than in men (0.84) during the first 3 postoperative months compared to the general population. Fatal pulmonary embolism after TKR with the routine use of graded elastic stockings and early mobilization is rare. In this series, the death rate in patients undergoing TKR appears to be lower than that in the general population. 相似文献

Background
While most of the global burden from chronic diseases, and especially vascular diseases, is now borne by low and middle-income countries, few large-scale epidemiological studies of chronic diseases in such countries have been performed. 相似文献9.

1. The plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25-(OH)D3] response to measured u.v. irradiation applied thrice weekly for 10 weeks was investigated in normal and in anticonvulsant-treated subjects. 2. Levels of plasma 25-(OH)D3 achieved after u.v. irradiation were similar in both normal and anticonvulsant-treated subjects, suggesting that hepatic microsomal enzyme induction does not lead to low plasma 25-(OH)D3 concentrations. 3. Cholecalciferol was present in plasma of normal subjects in a very low concentrations (less than 5.0 nmol/l) and did not increase until plasma 25-(OH)D3 levels exceeded 62.5 nmol/l. 4. Cholecalciferol occurred in significant concentrations in plasma during whole body u.v. irradiation or during oral dosage of 62.5 nmol (100 i.u) or more daily. 5. Plasma 25-(OH)D3 concentrations reached a steady state after 5-6 weeks of u.v. irradiation or of oral intake within the usual intake range. 6. Cholecalciferol synthesis in skin calculated from the steady-state equation was 0.0015 +/- 0.0008 nmol/mJ. 7. Cholecalciferol synthesis in skin was also calculated from the oral dosage required to yield the same plasma 25-(OH)D3 concentration as u.v. irradiation and was 0.0024 +/- 0.0018 nmol/mJ. 8. Rates of cholecalciferol synthesis calculated from these data suggest that many of the population of England receive insufficient u.v. irradiation to maintain vitamin D status throughout the year. 相似文献
