RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Claudin-4 has been described as a highly sensitive immunocytochemical marker for detection of metastatic carcinoma cells in effusion cytology specimens. This study aims to challenge the performance of claudin-4 in different types of malignancies and low cellularity specimens, by comparison with other markers in a large cohort of carcinomatous effusion specimens. METHODOLOGY: Cell block preparations from peritoneal and pleural fluid specimens were retrieved, with malignant (carcinoma) diagnoses confirmed by review of hospital diagnosis code and pathology reports. Claudin-4, BerEP4, CEA, and MOC31 immunocytochemistry were performed and scored by expression proportion and intensity. Tumor cellularity was assessed for subgroup analysis of low cellularity specimens. RESULTS: Totally 147 specimens (70 pleural, 77 peritoneal) of 68 lung, 62 breast, 9 gynecological, and 7 gastrointestinal carcinomas were retrieved. The average proportion expression of claudin-4 was highest (89.6%, vs. CEA 40.5%, BerEp4 18.6%, MOC31 16.8%) and the percentage of strong expression was highest for claudin-4 (72.1%). Expression levels of claudin-4 were consistently higher than other markers in subgroups of all primary sites. The difference was more significant for low cellularity specimens. High (≥50%) proportion expression was seen for 96.61% of cases for claudin-4 (vs. BerEp4 8.77%, CEA 46.55%, MOC31 8.77%, p < 0.001). These factors contributed to a low concordance between claudin-4 and BerEp4, CEA and MOC31 (K = 0.010-0.043). CONCLUSION: Claudin-4 is more sensitive than CEA, BerEp4 and MOC31, suitable for low cellularity specimens of most types of metastatic carcinoma and is a robust immunocytochemical marker for carcinoma that can be used solitarily.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has become a major breakthrough in the field of tumor therapy, leading to improved survival. This study evaluated the clinical and electrocardiographic characteristics of patients with ICI-related myocarditis. METHODS: Patients with ICI-related myocarditis were enrolled from 4 centers in China until September 2023. Demographic data (age, sex, comorbidity), types of ICI, clinical manifestations, electrocardiogram (ECG) and treatment were analyzed retrospectively. Arrhythmia and characteristics of ECG were compared according to prognosis and grading. RESULTS: A total of 29 participants (13 females with a median age of 63.25 years) with ICI-related myocarditis were enrolled. Lung cancer was the most, with a proportion of 31.03 % (9/29). The median time from the first administration of ICI to the diagnosis of myocarditis was 50 days. Camrelizumab was the main type of ICI (9/29). Most patients had non-specific symptoms, dyspnea (n = 16) and palpitation (n = 9) were common. The overall mortality rate was 37.93 % (11/29) with a median follow-up of 9(4,11) days. Compared with the survivors, P-wave abnormality was more common in participants who were dead (24.14 %vs6.90 %, p = 0.010). A total of 19 patients with severe ICI-related myocarditis were included in this study. The proportions of sinus tachycardia (34.48 %vs0.00 %, p = 0.005), premature ventricular complex (27.59 %vs0.00 %, p = 0.027) and atrioventricular block (34.48 %vs3.45 %, p = 0.044) were higher in severe ICI-related myocarditis. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical manifestations of ICI-related myocarditis usually lacked specificity. ECGs can be manifested as new-onset arrhythmias, ST-T segment changes, fragmented QRS complex, abnormal P wave, prolonged QTc interval and multilead low voltage.
RESUMO
Background: Given the rapidly growing burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Asia, this study forecasts the CVD burden and associated risk factors in Asia from 2025 to 2050. Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study was used to construct regression models predicting prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributed to CVD and risk factors in Asia in the coming decades. Findings: Between 2025 and 2050, crude cardiovascular mortality is expected to rise 91.2% despite a 23.0% decrease in the age-standardised cardiovascular mortality rate (ASMR). Ischaemic heart disease (115 deaths per 100,000 population) and stroke (63 deaths per 100,000 population) will remain leading drivers of ASMR in 2050. Central Asia will have the highest ASMR (676 deaths per 100,000 population), more than three-fold that of Asia overall (186 deaths per 100,000 population), while high-income Asia sub-regions will incur an ASMR of 22 deaths per 100,000 in 2050. High systolic blood pressure will contribute the highest ASMR throughout Asia (105 deaths per 100,000 population), except in Central Asia where high fasting plasma glucose will dominate (546 deaths per 100,000 population). Interpretation: This forecast forewarns an almost doubling in crude cardiovascular mortality by 2050 in Asia, with marked heterogeneity across sub-regions. Atherosclerotic diseases will continue to dominate, while high systolic blood pressure will be the leading risk factor.

While guidelines recommend 150 âmin of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) weekly to enhance health, it remains unclear whether concentrating these activities into 1-2 days of the week, "weekend warrior" (WW) pattern, has the same benefit for neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). This study aimed to evaluate the associations of WW pattern and the risk of NDDs. This prospective study was conducted using accelerometer-based physical activity data for a full week from June 2013 to December 2015 in the UK Biobank. These individuals were categorized into distinct physical activity patterns, including the WW pattern (i.e., over 50% or 75% of recommended MVPA achieved over 1-2 days), regular pattern, and inactive pattern. Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association between physical activity patterns and outcomes. Compared to inactive group, WW pattern and regular pattern was similarly linked to a reduced risk of all-cause dementia (WW: Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.68, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.56-0.84; regular: HR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.67-1.1) and all-cause Parkinsonism (WW: HR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.35-0.63; regular: HR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.5-0.95). When the exercise threshold was increased to 75% of MVPA, both patterns still were associated with decreased risk of incident all-cause dementia (WW: HR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.41-0.91; regular: HR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.63-0.92) and all-cause Parkinsonism (WW: HR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.10-0.47; regular: HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.46-0.75). Concentrating recommended physical activities into 1-2 days per week is associated with a lower incidence of NDDs.
RESUMO
AIMS: Current treatments are inadequate in alleviating obesity-associated vascular diseases. The development of effective therapies to ameliorate endothelial dysfunction and attenuate oxidative stress is of utmost importance. Asperuloside (ASP), a bioactive compound extracted from Eucommia species, exhibits anti-obesity properties. However, the effects of ASP on vasculopathy have not been investigated. Therefore, the effects of ASP on vascular dysfunction and related mechanisms were elucidated. RESULTS: ASP significantly reversed the impaired endothelium-dependent relaxations (EDRs) in obese mice and IL-1ß-treated aortas. ASP suppressed endothelial activation in obese mice aortas and IL-1ß-treated endothelial cells. ASP attenuated oxidative stress, scavenged mitochondrial ROS and upregulated HO-1 expression in endothelium, independently of its anti-inflammatory properties. HO-1 knockdown diminished the protective effects of ASP against impaired EDRs, ROS overproduction and endothelial activation. Endothelial cell-specific Nrf2 knockdown eliminated the ASP-mediated vascular protective effects and endothelial HO-1 upregulation, emphasizing that ASP improves endothelial function by activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling. ASP facilitated Nrf2 nuclear translocation and the direct binding of Nrf2 to ARE, thereby enhancing HO-1 transcription and scavenging ROS. CETSA results provide the first experimental characterization of the direct binding of ASP to Nrf2. INNOVATION: Effective Nrf2 activators targeting obesity-associated endothelial dysfunction are not available. This study demonstrates that Asperuloside could be a novel Nrf2 activator to alleviate obesity-associated endothelial dysfunction, suggesting a promising redox-based therapy for vasculopathy. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that ASP ameliorates obesity-associated endothelial dysfunction by activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and maintaining redox hemostasis, demonstrating its potential as a novel Nrf2-targeted therapeutic agent and dietary supplement for vasculopathy.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2I) have been suggested to reduce new-onset cancer amongst type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This study aims to compare the risks of prostate cancer between SGLT2I and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4I) amongst T2DM patients. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a retrospective population-based cohort study of prospectively recorded data on male patients with T2DM who were prescribed either SGLT2I or DPP4I between 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2020 from Hong Kong. METHODS: The primary outcome was new-onset prostate cancer. The secondary outcomes included cancer-related mortality and all-cause mortality. Propensity score matching (1:1 ratio) using the nearest neighbor search was performed and multivariable Cox regression was applied. A three-arm analysis including the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1a) cohort was conducted. RESULTS: This study included 42129 male T2DM patients (median age: 61.0 years old [SD: 12.2]; SGLT2I: nâ¯=â¯17,120; DPP4I: nâ¯=â¯25,009). In the propensity score matched cohort, the number of prostate cancers was significantly lower in SGLT2I users (nâ¯=â¯60) than in DPP4I (nâ¯=â¯102). Over a follow-up duration of 5.61 years, SGLT2I was associated with lower prostate cancer risks (HR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.30-0.70) than DPP4I after adjustments. The subgroup analyses showed that the interactions between SGLT2I and age, hypertension, heart failure, and GLP-1a were not statistically significant. The result remained consistent in the sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated SGLT2I was associated with lower risks of new-onset prostate cancer after propensity score matching and adjustments compared to DPP4I amongst T2DM patients.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To assess the accuracy, reliability, and readability of publicly available large language models in answering fundamental questions on hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis and management. METHODS: Twenty questions on liver cancer diagnosis and management were asked in triplicate to ChatGPT-3.5 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), and Bing (Microsoft). Responses were assessed by six fellowship-trained physicians from three academic liver transplant centers who actively diagnose and/or treat liver cancer. Responses were categorized as accurate (score 1; all information is true and relevant), inadequate (score 0; all information is true, but does not fully answer the question or provides irrelevant information), or inaccurate (score - 1; any information is false). Means with standard deviations were recorded. Responses were considered as a whole accurate if mean score was > 0 and reliable if mean score was > 0 across all responses for the single question. Responses were also quantified for readability using the Flesch Reading Ease Score and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level. Readability and accuracy across 60 responses were compared using one-way ANOVAs with Tukey's multiple comparison tests. RESULTS: Of the twenty questions, ChatGPT answered nine (45%), Gemini answered 12 (60%), and Bing answered six (30%) questions accurately; however, only six (30%), eight (40%), and three (15%), respectively, were both accurate and reliable. There were no significant differences in accuracy between any chatbot. ChatGPT responses were the least readable (mean Flesch Reading Ease Score 29; college graduate), followed by Gemini (30; college) and Bing (40; college; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Large language models provide complex responses to basic questions on hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis and management that are seldomly accurate, reliable, or readable.
RESUMO
The Hippo-YAP1 pathway is an evolutionally conserved signaling cascade that controls organ size and tissue regeneration. Dysregulation of Hippo-YAP1 signaling promotes initiation and progression of several types of cancer, including gastric cancer (GC). As the Hippo-YAP1 pathway regulates expression of thousands of genes, it is important to establish which target genes contribute to the oncogenic program driven by YAP1 to identify strategies to circumvent it. Here, we identified a vital role of FOXP4 in YAP1-driven gastric carcinogenesis by maintaining stemness and promoting peritoneal metastasis. Loss of FOXP4 impaired GC spheroid formation and reduced stemness marker expression, while FOXP4 upregulation potentiated cancer cell stemness. RNA-seq analysis revealed SOX12 as downstream target of FOXP4, and functional studies established that SOX12 supports stemness in YAP1-induced carcinogenesis. A small molecule screen identified 42-(2-Tetrazolyl)rapamycin as a FOXP4 inhibitor, and targeting FOXP4 suppressed GC tumor growth and enhanced the efficacy of 5-FU chemotherapy in vivo. Collectively, these findings revealed that FOXP4 upregulation by YAP1 in GC regulates stemness and tumorigenesis by upregulating SOX12. Targeting the YAP1-FOXP4-SOX12 axis represents a potential therapeutic strategy for GC.
RESUMO
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are increasingly used in the first-line treatment of malignant tumors. There is increasing recognition of their cardiotoxicity and, in particular, their potential to lead to myocarditis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can quantify pathological changes, such as myocardial edema and fibrosis. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the evidence for the roles of CMR in predicting prognosis in ICI-associated myocarditis. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched until October 2023 for published works investigating the relationship between CMR parameters and adverse events in patients with ICI-associated myocarditis. The analysis included studies reporting the incidence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), T1 values, T2 values, and CMR-derived left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Odds ratios (OR) and weighted mean differences (WMD) were combined for binary and continuous data, respectively. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Results: Five cohort studies were included (average age 65-68 years; 25.4% female). Of these, four studies were included in the meta-analysis of LGE-related findings. Patients with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) had a higher incidence of LGE compared with patients without MACE (OR = 4.18, 95% CI: 1.72-10.19, p = 0.002). A meta-analysis, incorporating data from two studies, showed that patients who developed MACE exhibited significantly higher T1 value (WMD = 36.16 ms, 95% CI: 21.43-50.89, p < 0.001) and lower LVEF (WMD = - 8.00%, 95% CI: -13.60 to -2.40, p = 0.005). Notably, T2 value (WMD = -0.23 ms, 95% CI: -1.86 to -1.39, p = 0.779) was not associated with MACE in patients with ICI-related myocarditis. Conclusions: LGE, T1 value, and LVEF measured by CMR imaging have potential prognostic value for long-term adverse events in patients with ICI-related myocarditis.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the anatomical characteristics and classification of multiple coronary artery fistulas (MCAFs), and to compare the outcomes of transcatheter closure between MCAFs and single fistulas. METHODS: All patients who underwent attempts at transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) at Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were categorized into single fistula and MCAFs groups, and anatomical characteristics and transcatheter closure outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: This retrospective study included 146 patients who underwent attempted transcatheter closure of CAFs, with a 14.38% failure rate. Among the 146 patients with CAFs, 32.19% were identified as having MCAFs, with types I, II, and III constituting 40.43%, 42.55%, and 17.02%, respectively. Unlike single fistulas, which predominantly originated from the right coronary artery and terminated in the left ventricle, MCAFs mainly had simultaneous origins from the right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery (29.79%), and predominantly drained into the pulmonary artery (70.21%), with a notable prevalence of plexus-like morphology (38.3% vs 2.02%, P<.001). The success rate of transcatheter closure was significantly lower for multiple fistulas compared with single fistula (64.29% vs 84.34%, P=.011). Multivariate regression analysis indicated that the risk of closure failure for MCAFs was 2.64 times that of single fistulas. CONCLUSIONS: MCAFs are common among CAFs and can be classified into 3 types based on the number and location of their origins and terminations. The risk of failure of transcatheter closure is significantly higher in MCAFs than in single fistulas.
RESUMO
Background and aims: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent complication following cardiac surgery and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Our study aimed at determining the clinical and echocardiographic predictors of POAF in patients with cardiac surgery and management of this group of patients may improve their outcome. Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients from the department of cardiovascular surgery in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from October 23, 2020 to October 30, 2022, without a history of atrial fibrillation. Cox regression was used to identify significant predictors of POAF. Results: A total of 217 patients (79 [36.41 %] were female, 63.96 ± 12.32 years) were included. 88 (40.55 %) patients met the criteria for POAF. Cox regression showed that preoperative left atrial diameter (LAD) (HR: 1.040, 95 % CI 1.008-1.073, p = 0.013) and postoperative QRS/LVEDD (HR: 0.398, 95 % CI 0.193-0.824, p = 0.013) and E/e' (HR: 1.029, 95 % CI 1.002-1.057ï¼p = 0.033) were predictors of POAF. Conclusion: Preoperative LAD and postoperative QRS/LVEDD and E/e' were predictors of POAF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Trial registration site: http://www.chictr.org.cn.

RESUMO
Background: Relationships between the social determinants of health (SDOH) and cardiovascular health (CVH) of cancer survivors are underexplored. Objectives: This study sought to investigate associations between the SDOH and CVH of adult cancer survivors. Methods: Data from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey (2013-2017) were used. Participants reporting a history of cancer were included, excluding those with only nonmelanotic skin cancer, or with missing data for any domain of SDOH or CVH. SDOH was quantified with a 6-domain, 38-item score, consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations (higher score indicated worse deprivation). CVH was quantified based on the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8, but due to unavailable detailed dietary data, a 7-item CVH score was used, with a higher score indicating worse CVH. Survey-specific multivariable Poisson regression was used to test associations between SDOH quartiles and CVH. Results: Altogether, 8,254 subjects were analyzed, representing a population of 10,887,989 persons. Worse SDOH was associated with worse CVH (highest vs lowest quartile: risk ratio 1.30; 95% CI: 1.25-1.35; P < 0.001), with a grossly linear relationship between SDOH and CVH scores. Subgroup analysis found significantly stronger associations in younger participants (P interaction = 0.026) or women (P interaction = 0.001) but without significant interactions with race (P interaction = 0.051). Higher scores in all domains of SDOH were independently associated with worse CVH (all P < 0.001). Higher SDOH scores were also independently associated with each component of the CVH score (all P < 0.05 for highest SDOH quartile). Conclusions: An unfavorable SDOH profile was independently associated with worse CVH among adult cancer survivors in the United States.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Enzalutamide and abiraterone may differ in their immunomodulatory effects, and the prednisone coadministered with abiraterone can be immunosuppressive. This study aimed to compare the risk of different types of infection in patients with prostate cancer receiving enzalutamide or abiraterone in combination with androgen deprivation therapy. METHODS: Patients with prostate cancer receiving enzalutamide or abiraterone in addition to androgen deprivation therapy in Hong Kong between December 1999 to March 2021 were identified in this retrospective cohort study and followed up until September 2021, death, or crossover. Outcomes, including any sepsis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, cellulitis or skin abscess, central nervous system infections, and tuberculosis, were analyzed as both time-to-event outcomes (multivariable Fine-Gray regression, with mortality considered a competing event) and recurrent-event outcomes (multivariable negative binomial regression). RESULTS: Altogether, 1582 patients were analyzed (923 abiraterone users; 659 enzalutamide users) with a median follow-up of 10.6 months (interquartile range: 5.3-19.9 months). Compared to abiraterone users, enzalutamide users had lower cumulative incidences of sepsis (adjusted subhazard ratio [SHR] 0.70 [0.53-0.93], p = .014), pneumonia (adjusted SHR 0.76 [0.59-0.99], p = .040), and cellulitis or skin abscess (adjusted SHR 0.55 [0.39-0.79], p = .001), but not urinary tract infection (adjusted SHR 0.91 [0.62-1.35], p = .643). Associations between exposure and central nervous system infections and tuberculosis were not assessed because of low event rates. Analyzing the outcomes as recurrent events gave similar results. Enzalutamide use may be associated with a lower risk of urinary tract infection in patients with diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to abiraterone users, enzalutamide users have significantly lower risks of sepsis, pneumonia, cellulitis, or skin abscess.
RESUMO
Cancer remains a major cause of mortality worldwide, and urological cancers are the most common cancers among men. Several therapeutic agents have been used to treat urological cancer, leading to improved survival for patients. However, this has been accompanied by an increase in the frequency of survivors with cardiovascular complications caused by anticancer medications. Here, we propose the novel discipline of uro-cardio-oncology, an evolving subspecialty focused on the complex interactions between cardiovascular disease and urological cancer. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the various cardiovascular toxicities induced by different classes of antineoplastic agents used to treat urological cancers, including androgen deprivation therapy, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and chemotherapeutics. In addition, we discuss possible mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular toxicity associated with anticancer therapy and outline strategies for the surveillance, diagnosis, and effective management of cardiovascular complications. Finally, we provide an analysis of future perspectives in this emerging specialty, identifying areas in need of further research.
RESUMO
Background: The aim of this work was to investigate left atrial electrophysiological properties for their ability to predict the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Methods: The study comprised 53 patients with AF [62 (interquartile range (IQR): 52-68) years old; 47.2% females]. High-density, three-dimensional electro-anatomic mapping using PentaRay was conducted during sinus rhythm in the left atrium (LA) immediately after PVI. LA conduction time, conduction velocity in predefined anterior and posterior routes, low voltage area percentage and distribution were assessed. Results: The AF recurrence group had longer LA conduction time compared to the non-recurrence group [11 (IQR: 10-12) ms vs. 9 (IQR: 8-10) ms, p = 0.001). The percent low voltage area was greater in the recurrence group than the non-recurrence group [31.2 (IRQ: 7.1-49.3)% vs. 7.7 (IQR: 4.3-15.2)%, p = 0.008]. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that LA conduction time independently predicted AF recurrence following ablation over a median follow-up of 235 days [IQR: 154-382 days; hazard ratio (HR): 2.37, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-5.23, p = 0.031]. The optimal cut-off for LA conduction time was 98 ms [area under curve (AUC): 0.926, sensitivity: 0.833, specificity: 0.894, p < 0.01]. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with a conduction time > 98 ms had a higher rate of AF recurrence following ablation (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with longer LA conduction time after PVI had more frequent AF recurrence.
RESUMO
Previous studies have reported associations between newly diagnosed diabetes and poor outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but there is limited data focusing on elderly patients (age ≥ 65). This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and clinical implications of newly diagnosed diabetes in elderly patients who underwent PCI. From 2004 to 2021, a total of 2456 elderly patients who underwent invasive PCI at Korea University Guro Hospital were prospectively enrolled and followed up for a median of five years. The primary endpoint was five-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Cox regression was used to evaluate whether newly diagnosed diabetes impacted on long-term clinical outcomes. Newly diagnosed diabetes was presented in approximately 8.1% to 10.9% of elderly patients who underwent PCI. Those who had a new diagnosis of diabetes had a higher risk of MACE than previously known diabetes (25.28% vs. 19.15%, p = 0.039). After adjusting for significant factors, newly diagnosed diabetes remained an independent predictor of MACE (HR [hazard ratio] 1.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.24-2.17, p < 0.001), cardiac death (HR 2.15, 95% CI 1.29-3.59, p = 0.003) and repeat revascularization (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.09-2.11, p = 0.013), but not for non-fatal myocardial infarction (HR 1.66, 95% CI 0.94-2.12, p = 0.081). Newly diagnosed diabetes was associated with an increased risk of 5-year MACE compared with non-diabetes and previously diagnosed diabetes in elderly patients underwent PCI. More attention should be given to those elderly newly diagnosed diabetes population.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the risks of gastric cancer and other gastric diseases in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exposed to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2I), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4I) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1a). DESIGN: This was a population-based cohort study of prospectively collected data on patients with T2DM prescribed SGLT2I, DPP4I or GLP1a between January 1st 2015 and December 31st 2020 from Hong Kong. The outcomes were new-onset gastric cancer, peptic ulcer (PU), acute gastritis, non-acute gastritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Propensity score matching (1:1) using the nearest neighbour search was performed, and multivariable Cox regression was applied. A three-arm comparison between SGLT2I, DPP4I and GLP1a was conducted using propensity scores with inverse probability of treatment weighting. RESULTS: A total of 62,858 patients (median age: 62.2 years old [SD: 12.8]; 55.93% males; SGLT2I: n = 23,442; DPP4I: n = 39,416) were included. In the matched cohort, the incidence of gastric cancer was lower in SGLT2I (Incidence rate per 1000 person-year, IR: 0.32; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.23-0.43) than in DPP4I (IR per 1000 person-year: 1.22; CI 1.03-1.42) users. Multivariable Cox regression found that SGLT2I use was associated with lower risks of gastric cancer (HR 0.30; 95% CI 0.19-0.48), PU, acute gastritis, non-acute gastritis, and GERD (p < 0.05) compared to DPP4I use. In the three-arm analysis, GLP1a use was associated with higher risks of gastric cancer and GERD compared to SGLT2I use. CONCLUSIONS: The use of SGLT2I was associated with lower risks of new-onset gastric cancer, PU, acute gastritis, non-acute gastritis, and GERD after matching and adjustments compared to DPP4I use. SGLT2I use was associated with lower risks of GERD and gastric cancer compared to GLP1a use.
