Elevated random glucose levels during hospital admission hiked the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiogenic shock in non-diabetic AMI patients during hospitalization, reported a recent study. The risk of all-cause mortality was particularly high in patients with glucose =122 mg/dL and that of cardiogenic shock was high in patients with glucose = 111 mg/dL.

Patients with severe pneumonia show elevated HBP and NLR compared to common pneumonia, reported a recent study assessing the role of HBP and NLR in analyzing severity and prognosis of CAP in adults. Results showed that NLR and HBP exhibit superior sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of severe pneumonia. The diagnostic specificity (84.13%) and sensitivity (86.25%) was boosted when combine...
