72-hour hemodynamic and urine output trajectories predict renal recovery in continuous kidney replacement therapy: a machine learning approach

Predicting renal recovery in patients receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) remains challenging. Conventional single-time-point hemodynamic assessments at CKRT initiation have shown limited prognostic value. We investigated whether 72-hour hemodynamic and urine o...

Metabolic health, obesity, and prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Metabolic syndrome is a common comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet its long-term impact on survival and exacerbations remains controversial. We investigated whether metabolic health status and body mass index (BMI) influence mortality and the rate of...
