Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome is identified as a risk factor for the development of several systemic cancers, but its frequency among patients with glioblastoma and its association with clinical outcomes have yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to investigate metabolic syndrome as a risk factor for and affecting survival in glioblastoma patients. Methods A retrospective cohort study, consisting of patients with diagnoses at a single institution between 2007 and 2013, was conducted. Clinical records were reviewed, and clinical and laboratory data pertaining to 5 metabolic criteria were extrapolated. Overall survival was determined by time from initial surgical diagnosis to date of death or last follow-up. Results The frequency of metabolic syndrome among patients diagnosed with glioblastoma was slightly greater than the frequency of metabolic syndrome among the general population. Within a subset of patients (n = 91) receiving the full schedule of concurrent radiation and temozolomide and adjuvant temozolomide, median overall survival was significantly shorter for patients with metabolic syndrome compared with those without. In addition, the presence of all 5 elements of the metabolic syndrome resulted in significantly decreased median survival in these patients. Conclusions We identified the metabolic syndrome at a slightly higher frequency in patients with diagnosed glioblastoma compared with the general population. In addition, metabolic syndrome with each of its individual components is associated with an overall worse prognosis in patients receiving the standard schedule of radiation and temozolomide after adjustment for age.

Background: Nonunion rates in hind or midfoot arthrodesis have been reported as high as 41%. The most notable and readily modifiable risk factor that has been identified is smoking. In 2018, 14.4% of the UK population were active smokers. We examined the effect of smoking status on union rates for a large cohort of patients undergoing hind- or midfoot arthrodesis. Methods: In total, 381 consecutive primary joint arthrodeses were identified from a single surgeon’s logbook (analysis performed on a per joint basis, with a triple fusion reported as 3 separate joints). Patients were divided based on self-reported smoking status. Primary outcome was clinical union. Delayed union, infection, and the need for ultrasound bone stimulation were secondary outcomes. Results: Smoking prevalence was 14.0%, and 32.2% were ex-smokers. Groups were comparable for sex, diabetes, and body mass index. Smokers were younger and had fewer comorbidities. Nonunion rates were higher in smokers (relative risk, 5.81; 95% CI, 2.54-13.29; P < .001) with no statistically significant difference between ex-smokers and nonsmokers. Smokers had higher rates of infection ( P = .05) and bone stimulator use ( P < .001). Among smokers, there was a trend toward slower union with heavier smoking ( P = .004). Conclusion: This large retrospective cohort study confirmed previous evidence that smoking has a considerable negative effect on union in arthrodesis. The 5.81 relative risk in a modifiable risk factor is extremely high. Arthrodesis surgery should be undertaken with extreme caution in smokers. Our study shows that after cessation of smoking, the risk returns to normal, but we were unable to quantify the time frame. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract Purpose: Multiple studies have demonstrated an obesity paradox such that obese septic patients have a lower mortality rate and a relatively favorable prognosis. However, less is known on the association between abdominal obesity and short-term mortality in patients with sepsis. We conducted this study to determine whether the obesity-related survival benefit remains among abdominal obese patients.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data derived from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. Septic patients (≥18 years) with or without abdominal obesity of first intensive care units (ICU) admission in the database were enrolled. The primary outcome was mortality within 28 days of ICU admission and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to assess any association between abdominal obesity and the outcome variable.Results: A total of 21534 patients were enrolled finally, the crude 28-day mortality benefit after ICU admission was not observed in patients with abdominal obesity (15.8% vs. 15.3%, p=0.32). In the extended multivariable logistic models, the odds ratio (OR) of abdominal obesity was significantly inversed after incorporating metabolic variables into the logistic model (OR range 1.094-2.872, p = 0.02). The subgroup analysis showed interaction effects in impaired fasting blood glucose/diabetes and metabolic syndrome subgroups (P = 0.001 and <0.001, respectively). In the subgroups of blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride level, no interaction was detected in the association between abdominal obesity and mortality. After propensity score matching, 6523 pairs of patients were selected. The mortality significantly higher in the abdominal obesity group (17.0% vs. 14.8%, p = 0.015). Notably, the non-abdominal obese patients were weaned off vasopressors and mechanical ventilation more quickly than those in the abdominal obesity group (vasopressor‑free days on day 28 of 27.0 vs. 26.8, p < 0.001; ventilation-free days on day 28 of 26.7 vs. 25.6, p < 0.001).Conclusion: Abdominal obesity was associated with increased risk of adjusted sepsis-related mortality within 28 days after ICU admission and was partially mediated through metabolic syndrome components.

Background: The association between tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is re-emerging with the epidemic of type II diabetes. Both TB and DM were of the top 10 causes of death.[1] This study explores diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for developing the different antitubercular drug-resistant (DR) patterns among TB patients.  Methods: A retrospective cohort study has been conducted on all TB cases reported to the King Abdul Aziz University Hospital, Jeddah, between January 2012 to January 2021. All culture-confirmed and PCR-positive TB cases were included in this study. Categorical baseline characteristic of TB patient has been compared with DM status by using Fisher's exact and Pearson chi-square test. The univariable and multivariable logistic regression model was used to estimate the association between DM and different drug resistance patterns.  Results: Of the total 695 diagnosed TB patients, 92 (13.24%) are resistant to 1st line anti TB drugs. Among 92 DR-TB patients, 36 (39.13%) are diabetic. The percentage of different patterns of DR-TB with DM, in the case of mono DR (12.09%), poly DR (4.19%) MDR (0.547%). As a risk factor, DM has a significant association with DR-TB, mono drug-resistant, and pyrazinamide-resistant TB (P-value <0.05). The MDR and PDR separately do not show any significant association with DM, but for further analysis, it shows a significant association with DM when we combined.  Conclusion: Our study identified diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for developing DR-TB. Better management of DM and TB infection caring programs among DM patients might improve TB control and prevent DR-TB development in KSA.
