Background Previous studies have suggested that sleep timing is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. However, there is no evidence on the relationship between sleep timing and congestive heart failure (CHF). We aimed to examine this relationship in this study. Methods and Results We recruited 4765 participants (2207 men; mean age, 63.6±11.0 years) from the SHHS (Sleep Heart Health Study) database in this multicenter prospective cohort study. Follow‐up was conducted until the first CHF diagnosis between baseline and the final censoring date. Sleep timing (bedtimes and wake‐up times on weekdays and weekends) was based on a self‐reported questionnaire. Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to investigate the association between sleep timing and CHF. During the mean follow‐up period of 11 years, 519 cases of CHF (10.9%) were reported. The multivariable Cox proportional hazards models revealed that participants with weekday bedtimes >12:00  am (hazard ratio [HR], 1.56; 95% CI, 1.15–2.11; P =0.004) and from 11:01  pm to 12:00  am (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.00–1.56; P =0.047) had an increased risk of CHF compared with those with bedtimes from 10:01  pm to 11:00  pm . After stratified analysis, the association was intensified in participants with a self‐reported sleep duration of 6 to 8 hours. Furthermore, wake‐up times >8:00  am on weekdays (HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.07–2.17; P =0.018) were associated with a higher risk of incident CHF than wake‐up times ≤6:00  am . Conclusions Delayed bedtimes (>11:00  pm ) and wake‐up times (>8:00  am ) on weekdays were associated with an increased risk of CHF.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To further explore the relationship between the blood urea nitrogen to creatinine (BUN/Cr) ratio and the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF), a two-part study consisting of a prospective cohort study and meta-analysis were conducted. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 509 hospitalized patients with AHF were enrolled and followed up. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyze the relationship between the BUN/Cr ratio and the long-term prognosis of patients with AHF. Meta-analysis was also conducted regarding the topic by searching PubMed and Embase for relevant studies published up to October 2019. <b><i>Results:</i></b> During a median follow-up of 2.8 years, 197 (42.6%) deaths occurred. The cumulative survival rate of patients with a BUN/Cr ratio in the bottom quartile was significantly lower than in the other 3 groups (log-rank test: <i>p</i> = 0.003). In multivariate Cox regression models, the mortality rate of AHF patients with a BUN/Cr ratio in the bottom quartile was significantly higher than in the top quartile (adjusted HR 1.52; 95% CI 1.03–2.24). For the meta-analysis, we included 8 studies with 4,700 patients, consisting of 7 studies from the database and our cohort study. The pooled analysis showed that the highest BUN/Cr ratio category was associated with an 77% higher all-cause mortality than the lowest category (pooled HR 1.77; 95% CI 1.52–2.07). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Elevated BUN/Cr ratio is associated with poor prognosis in patients with AFH and is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality.

ObjectiveStudies on the association between clinical vertebral fractures (CVFs) and the subsequent risk of cardiopulmonary diseases, including aortic dissection (AD), congestive heart failure (CHF), pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are scarce. Therefore, we used the National Health Insurance Research Database to investigate whether patients with CVF have a heightened risk of subsequent AD, CHF, pneumonia and ARDS.DesignThe National Health Insurance Research Database was used to investigate whether patients with CVFs have an increased risk of subsequent AD, CHF, pneumonia and ARDS.ParticipantsThis cohort study comprised patients aged ≥18 years with a diagnosis of CVF and were hospitalised at any point during 2000–2010 (n=1 08 935). Each CVF patient was frequency-matched to a no-CVF hospitalised patients based on age, sex, index year and comorbidities (n=1 08 935). The Cox proportional hazard regressions model was used to estimate the adjusted effect of CVF on AD, CHF, pneumonia and ARDS risk.ResultsThe overall incidence of AD, CHF, pneumonia and ARDS was higher in the CVF group than in the no-CVF group (4.85 vs 3.99, 119.1 vs 89.6, 283.3 vs 183.5 and 9.18 vs 4.18/10 000 person-years, respectively). After adjustment for age, sex, comorbidities and Charlson comorbidity index score, patients with CVF had a 1.23-fold higher risk of AD (95% CI=1.03–1.45), 1.35-fold higher risk of CHF (95% CI=1.30–1.40), 1.57-fold higher risk of pneumonia (95% CI=1.54–1.61) and 2.21-fold higher risk of ARDS (95% CI=1.91–2.57) than did those without CVF. Patients with cervical CVF and SCI were more likely to develop pneumonia and ARDS.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that CVFs are associated with an increased risk of subsequent cardiopulmonary diseases. Future investigations are encouraged to delineate the mechanisms underlying this association.
