Abstract Background Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain affects many people worldwide and has a great impact on general health and quality of life. However, the relationship between MSK pain and mortality is not clear. This study aimed to investigate all-cause and cause-specific mortality in relation to self-reported MSK pain within the last 14 days, including spread of pain and pain intensity. Methods This prospective cohort study included a representative cohort of 4806 men and women aged 16+ years, who participated in a Danish MSK survey 1990–1991. The survey comprised questions on MSK pain, including spread of pain and pain intensity. These data were linked with the Danish Register of Causes of Death to obtain information on cause of death. Mean follow-up was 19.1 years. Cox regression analyses were performed with adjustment for potential confounders. Results In the study population (mean age 44.5 years; 47.9% men), 41.0% had experienced MSK pain within the last 14 days and 1372 persons died during follow-up. For both sexes, increased all-cause mortality with higher spread and intensity of MSK pain was observed; a high risk was observed especially for men with strong pain (HR = 1.66; 95% CI:1.09–2.53) and women with widespread pain (HR = 1.49; 95% CI:1.16–1.92). MSK pain within last 14 days yielded c-statistics of 0.544 and 0.887 with age added. Moreover, persons with strong MSK pain had an increased cardiovascular mortality, persons with moderate pain and pain in two areas had an increased risk of cancer mortality, and persons with widespread pain had an increased risk of respiratory mortality. Conclusions Overall, persons experiencing MSK pain had a higher risk of mortality. The increased mortality was not accounted for by potential confounders. However, when evaluating these results, it is important to take the possibility of unmeasured confounders into account as we had no information on e.g. BMI etc. Significance The present study provides new insights into the long-term consequences of MSK pain. However, the discriminatory accuracy of MSK pain was low, which indicates that this information cannot stand alone when predicting mortality risk.

Abstract Background. This study examined whether loneliness predicts cardiovascular- and all-cause mortality in older men and women. Methods. Baseline data from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies, collected during 2000 on 70-year-olds born 1930 and living in Gothenburg were used for analysis (n=524). Mortality data were analyzed until 2012 through Swedish national registers. Results. Perceived loneliness was reported by 17.1% of the men and 30.9% of the women in a face-to-face interview with mental health professional. A total of 142 participants died during the 12-year follow-up period, with 5 334 person-years at risk, corresponding to 26.6 deaths/1000 person-years. Cardiovascular disease accounted for 59.2% of all deaths. The cumulative rates/1000 person-years for cardiovascular mortality were 20.8 (men) and 11.5 (women), and for all-cause mortality 33.8 (men) and 20.5 (women), respectively. In Cox regression models, no significant increased risk of mortality was seen for men with loneliness compared to men without loneliness (cardiovascular mortality HR 1.52, 95% CI 0.78 - 2.96; all-cause HR 1.32, 95% CI 0.77 - 2.28). Increased risk of cardiovascular mortality was observed in women with loneliness compared to those without (HR 2.25 95% CI 1.14 - 4.45), and the risk remained significant in a multivariable-adjusted model (HR 2.42 95% CI 1.04 - 5.65). Conclusions. Loneliness was shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality in women. We found no evidence to indicate that loneliness was associated with an increased risk of either cardiovascular- or all-cause mortality in men.

Background: Women with atrial fibrillation (AF) have been reported to have poor outcomes. It remains unclear if this association is intrinsic or mediated by the higher comorbidity burden of female AF patients. Therefore, we examined the association between sex and outcomes in a balanced cohort of propensity-matched AF patients who participated in the Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management (AFFIRM) trial. Methods: Of the 4060 AFFIRM patients, 1594 (39%) were women. Propensity scores for female sex were calculated for each of the 4060 patients, and were used to assemble a cohort of 1097 pairs of men and women who were balanced on 51 baseline characteristics, including major cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and medication use, including warfarin. Matched Cox regression models were used to estimate the association between female sex and outcomes during 6 years of follow-up. Results: Patients (n=4060) had a mean (±SD) age of 70 (±8) years and 13% were African American. All-cause mortality occurred in 19% and 15% of matched men and women, respectively (matched HR when women were compared to men, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.69-1.11; p=0.279). All-cause hospitalization occurred in 61% of both men and women (matched HR for women, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.93-1.21; p=0.372). Sex was not associated with CV hospitalization (matched HR for women, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.97-1.32; p=0.111). Ischemic stroke occurred in 3% and 5% of matched men and women, respectively (OR when women were compared to men, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.28-3.18; p=0.002). There was no sex-related difference in major bleeding (7% each). Conclusion: In a cohort of AF patient in which men and women were well-balanced on 51 baseline characteristics including warfarin use, women had increased risk of stroke, but there was no sex-related variation in all-cause mortality or CV hospitalization.

Background Cardiorespiratory fitness may moderate the association between obesity and all‐cause mortality (ie, the “fat‐but‐fit” hypothesis), but unaddressed sources of bias are a concern. Methods and Results Cardiorespiratory fitness was estimated as watts per kilogram from a submaximal bicycle test in 77 169 men and women from the UK Biobank cohort and combined with World Health Organization standard body mass index categories, yielding 9 unique fitness‐fatness combinations. We also formed fitness‐fatness combinations based on bioimpedance as a direct measure of body composition. All‐cause mortality was ascertained from death registries. Multivariable‐adjusted Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% CIs. We examined the association between fitness‐fatness combinations and all‐cause mortality in models with progressively more conservative approaches for accounting for reverse causation, misclassification of body composition, and confounding. Over a median follow‐up of 7.7 years, 1731 participants died. In our base model, unfit men and women had higher risk of premature mortality irrespective of levels of adiposity, compared with the normal weight–fit reference. This pattern was attenuated but maintained with more conservative approaches in men, but not in women. In analysis stratified by sex and excluding individuals with prevalent major chronic disease and short follow‐up and using direct measures of body composition, mortality risk was 1.78 (95% CI, 1.17–2.71) times higher in unfit‐obese men but not higher in obese‐fit men (0.94 [95% CI, 0.60–1.48]). In contrast, there was no increased risk in obese‐unfit women (1.09 [95% CI, 0.44–1.05]) as compared with the reference. Conclusions Cardiorespiratory fitness modified the association between obesity and mortality in men, but this pattern appeared susceptible to biases in women.

Abstract Background Pro-inflammatory processes underlie ischemic stroke, albeit it is largely unknown if they selectively associate with the risk of atherothrombotic or cardioembolic ischemic stroke. Here we analyze whether pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL) 6 trans-signaling, is associated with the risk of ischemic stroke and underlying atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods During a 20-year follow-up, 203 incident ischemic strokes were recorded from national registers in the cohort of 60-year-old men and women from Stockholm (n = 4232). The risk of ischemic stroke associated with circulating IL6 trans-signaling, assessed by a ratio between the pro-inflammatory binary IL6:sIL6R complex and the inactive ternary IL6:sIL6R:sgp130 complex (B/T ratio), was estimated by Cox regression and expressed as hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) in the presence or absence of AF. Risk estimates were adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors and anticoagulant treatment. In a secondary analysis, the association of IL6 trans-signaling with the risk of incident AF (n = 279) was analyzed. Results B/T ratio > median was associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke in study participants without AF (adjusted HR 1.49; 95% CI 1.08–2.06), while an association could not be demonstrated in the presence of AF. Moreover, the B/T ratio was not associated with the risk of AF (HR 0.96; 95% CI 0.75–1.24). Conclusions Pro-inflammatory IL6 trans-signaling, estimated by the B/T ratio, is associated with ischemic stroke in individuals without AF. These findings suggest that the B/T ratio could be used to assess the risk of non-AF associated ischemic stroke.

Abstract Introduction Patients with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) are considered at high risk of infective endocarditis (IE) as a result of altered hemodynamics and multiple surgical and interventional procedures including pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). The overall survival of patients with ToF has increased in recent years. However, data on the risk of adverse outcomes including IE are sparse. Purpose To investigate the risk of IE in patients with ToF compared with controls from the background population. Methods In this nationwide observational cohort study, all patients with ToF born in 1977–2017 were identified using Danish nationwide registries and followed from date of birth until occurrence of an outcome of interest (i.e. first-time IE), death, or end of study (July 31, 2017). The comparative risk of IE among ToF patients versus age- and sex-matched controls from the background population was assessed. Results A total of 1,156 patients with ToF were identified and matched with 4,624 controls from the background population. Among patients with ToF, 266 (23.0%) underwent PVR during follow-up. During a median follow-up time of 20.4 years, 38 (3.3%) patients and 1 (0.03%) control were admitted with IE. The median time from date of birth to IE was 10.8 years (25th-75th percentile 2.8–20.9 years). The incidence rates of IE per 1,000 person-years were 2.2 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6–3.0) and 0.01 (95% CI 0.0001–0.1) among patients and controls, respectively. In multivariable Cox regression models, in which age, sex, pulmonary valve replacement, and relevant comorbidities (i.e. chronic renal failure, diabetes mellitus, presence of cardiac implantable electronic devices, other valve surgeries), were included as time-varying coefficients, the risk of IE was significantly higher among patients compared with controls (HR 171.5, 95% CI 23.2–1266.7). Moreover, PVR was associated with an increased risk of IE (HR 3.4, 95% CI 1.4–8.2). Conclusions Patients with ToF have a substantial risk of IE and the risk is significantly higher compared with the background population. In particular, PVR was associated with an increased risk of IE. With an increasing life-expectancy of these patients, intensified awareness, preventive measures, and surveillance of this patient group are advisable. Figure 1.

Kidney Function Decline

Carnosine affords protection against oxidative and carbonyl stress, yet high concentrations of the carnosinase-1 enzyme may limit this. We recently reported that high urinary carnosinase-1 is associated with kidney function decline and albuminuria in patients with chronic kidney disease. We prospectively investigated whether urinary carnosinase-1 is associated with a high risk for development of late graft failure in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Carnosine and carnosinase-1 were measured in 24 h urine in a longitudinal cohort of 703 stable KTRs and 257 healthy controls. Cox regression was used to analyze the prospective data. Urinary carnosine excretions were significantly decreased in KTRs (26.5 [IQR 21.4–33.3] µmol/24 h versus 34.8 [IQR 25.6–46.8] µmol/24 h; p < 0.001). In KTRs, high urinary carnosinase-1 concentrations were associated with increased risk of undetectable urinary carnosine (OR 1.24, 95%CI [1.06–1.45]; p = 0.007). During median follow-up for 5.3 [4.5–6.0] years, 84 (12%) KTRs developed graft failure. In Cox regression analyses, high urinary carnosinase-1 excretions were associated with increased risk of graft failure (HR 1.73, 95%CI [1.44–2.08]; p < 0.001) independent of potential confounders. Since urinary carnosine is depleted and urinary carnosinase-1 imparts a higher risk for graft failure in KTRs, future studies determining the potential of carnosine supplementation in these patients are warranted.

Abstract Aims/hypothesis Concerns have been raised regarding a potential association of use of the incretin-based drugs dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-receptor agonists with risk of cholangiocarcinoma. We examined this association in nationwide data from three countries. Methods We used data from nationwide registers in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, 2007–2018, to conduct two cohort studies, one for DPP4 inhibitors and one for GLP-1-receptor agonists, to investigate the risk of incident cholangiocarcinoma compared with an active-comparator drug class (sulfonylureas). The cohorts included patients initiating treatment episodes with DPP4 inhibitors vs sulfonylureas, and GLP-1-receptor agonists vs sulfonylureas. We used Cox regression models, adjusted for potential confounders, to estimate hazard ratios from day 366 after treatment initiation to account for cancer latency. Results The main analyses of DPP4 inhibitors included 1,414,144 person-years of follow-up from 222,577 patients receiving DPP4 inhibitors (median [IQR] follow-up time, 4.5 [2.6–7.0] years) and 123,908 patients receiving sulfonylureas (median [IQR] follow-up time, 5.1 [2.9–7.8] years) during which 350 cholangiocarcinoma events occurred. Use of DPP4 inhibitors, compared with sulfonylureas, was not associated with a statistically significant increase in risk of cholangiocarcinoma (incidence rate 26 vs 23 per 100,000 person-years; adjusted HR, 1.15 [95% CI 0.90, 1.46]; absolute rate difference 3 [95% CI -3, 10] events per 100,000 person-years). The main analyses of GLP-1-receptor agonists included 1,036,587 person-years of follow-up from 96,813 patients receiving GLP-1-receptor agonists (median [IQR] follow-up time, 4.4 [2.4–6.9] years) and 142,578 patients receiving sulfonylureas (median [IQR] follow-up time, 5.5 [3.2–8.1] years) during which 249 cholangiocarcinoma events occurred. Use of GLP-1-receptor agonists was not associated with a statistically significant increase in risk of cholangiocarcinoma (incidence rate 26 vs 23 per 100,000 person-years; adjusted HR, 1.25 [95% CI 0.89, 1.76]; absolute rate difference 3 [95% CI -5, 13] events per 100,000 patient-years). Conclusions/interpretation In this analysis using nationwide data from three countries, use of DPP4 inhibitors and GLP-1-receptor agonists, compared with sulfonylureas, was not associated with a significantly increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma.
