Sixty-four percent of adults in America drink coffee daily, and caffeine is the main reason people tend to drink coffee habitually. Few studies have examined the association between caffeine and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. The objective of this study was to examine the association between caffeine and all-cause and cause-specific mortality using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2014 database. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to examine 23,878 individuals 20 years and older. Daily caffeine intake was measured once at baseline. A total of 2206 deaths occurred, including 394 cardiovascular (CVD) deaths and 525 cancer deaths. Compared to those with a caffeine intake of <100 mg/day, the hazard ratios (HRs) for CVD mortality were significantly lower in the participants with a caffeine intake of 100–200 mg/day (HR, 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.45–0.88), and those with a caffeine intake of >200 mg/day (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.50–0.88) after adjusting for potential confounders. The HRs for all-cause mortality were significantly lower in the participants with a caffeine intake of 100–200 mg/day (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67–0.91), and those with a caffeine intake of >200 mg/day (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.60–0.78). Subgroup analyses showed that caffeine may have different effects on all-cause mortality among different age and body mass index (BMI) groups. In conclusion, higher caffeine intake was associated with lower all-cause and CVD mortality.

Objective: To our knowledge, no studies have yet looked at how the risk of developing breast cancer (BC) varies with changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) status. This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in MetS and subsequent BC occurrence. Research Design and Methods: We enrolled 930,055 postmenopausal women aged 40–74 years who participated in a biennial National Health Screening Program in 2009–2010 and 2011–2012. Participants were categorized into four groups according to change in MetS status during the two-year interval screening: sustained non-MetS, transition to MetS, transition to non-MetS, and sustained MetS. We calculated multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for BC incidence using the Cox proportional hazards models. Results: At baseline, MetS was associated with a significantly increased risk of BC (aHR 1.11, 95% CI 1.06–1.17) and so were all of its components. The risk of BC increased as the number of the components increased (aHR 1.46, 95% CI 1.26–1.61 for women with all five components). Compared to the sustained non-MetS group, the aHR (95% CI) for BC was 1.11 (1.04–1.19) in the transition to MetS group, 1.05 (0.96–1.14) in the transition to non-MetS group, and 1.18 (1.12–1.25) in the sustained MetS group. Conclusions: Significantly increased BC risk was observed in the sustained MetS and transition to MetS groups. These findings are clinically meaningful in that efforts to recover from MetS may lead to reduced risk of BC.

Abstract Background Theoretical concern exists regarding AV block (AVB) with class I antiarrhythmics (AADs) when bundle branch block (BBB) is present. Whether this is substantiated in real-world populations is unknown. Purpose To determine the relationship between type of AAD and incidence of AVB in patients with preexisting BBB. Methods We retrospectively studied all patients with BBB who received class I and III AADs between 1997–2019 to compare incidence of AVB. We defined index time as first exposure to either drug class and excluded patients with prior AVB or exposed to both classes. Time-at-risk window ended at first outcome occurrence or when patients were no longer observed in the database. We estimated hazard ratios for incident AVB using Cox proportional hazards models with propensity score stratification, adjusting for over 32,000 covariates from the electronic health record. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to determine treatment effects over time. Results Of 40,120 individuals with BBB, 148 were exposed to a class I AAD and 2401 to a class III AAD. Over nearly 4,200 person-years of follow up, there were 22 and 620 outcome events in the class I and class III cohorts, respectively (Figure). In adjusted analyses, AVB risk was markedly lower in patients exposed to class I AADs compared with class III (HR 0.48 [95% CI 0.30–0.75]). Conclusion Among patients with BBB, exposure to class III AADs was strongly associated with greater risk of incident AVB. This likely reflects differences in natural history of patients receiving class I vs class III AADs rather than adverse class III effects, however, the lack of worse outcomes acutely with class I AADs suggests that they may be safer in BBB than suspected.

Purpose To examine the effect of age on the recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma in the extremities and trunk. Patients and Methods This was a multicenter study that included 2,385 patients with median age at surgery of 57 years. The end points considered were local recurrence and metastasis. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios across the age ranges with and without adjustment for known confounding factors. Results Older patients presented with tumors that were larger (P < .001) and of higher grade (P < .001). The proportion of positive margins increased significantly as patients age (P < .001), but radiation therapy was relatively underused in patients older than age 60 years. The 5-year cumulative incidences of local recurrence were 7.2% (95% CI, 4% to 11.7%) for patients age 30 years or younger and 12.9% (95% CI, 9.1% to 17.5%) for patients age 75 years or older. The corresponding 5-year cumulative incidences of metastasis were 17.5% (95% CI, 12.1% to 23.7%) and 33.9% (95% CI, 28.1% to 39.8%) for the same groups. Regression models showed that age was significantly associated with local recurrence (P < .001) and metastasis (P < .001) in nonadjusted models. After adjusting for imbalance in presentation and treatment variables, age remained significantly associated with local recurrence (P = .031) and metastasis (P = .019). Conclusion Older patients have worse outcomes because they tend to present with worse tumors and are treated less aggressively. However, there remained a significant increase in the risk of both local and systemic recurrence associated with increasing age that could not be explained by tumor or treatment characteristics.

"Objectives—Linking national survey data with administrative data sources enables researchers to conduct analyses that would not be possible with each data source alone. Recently, the Data Linkage Program at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) released updated Linked Mortality Files, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data linked to the National Death Index mortality files. Two versions of the files were released: restricted-use files available through NCHS and Federal Statistical Research Data Centers and public-use files. To reduce the reidentification risk, statistical disclosure limitation methods were applied to the public-use files before they were released. This included limiting the amount of mortality information available and perturbing cause of death and follow-up time for select records. Methods—To assess the comparability of the restricted-use and public-use files, relative hazard ratios for all-cause and cause-specific mortality using Cox proportional hazards models were estimated and compared. Results—The comparative analysis found that the two data files yield similar descriptive and model results. Suggested citation: Mirel LB, Zhang C, Cox CS, Ye Y, El Burai Félix S, Golden C.

Background: The association of iron metabolism or status with the stroke risk remains unclear. We aimed to examine the associations between markers of iron metabolism or status and stroke risk using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Methods: Overall, 8589 in the CHNS in 2009, and 7290 participants between 2009 and 2015 were included in the cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, respectively. Markers included hemoglobin, ferritin (FET), transferrin (TRF), soluble transferrin receptor (sTRF-R), and ratio of sTRF-R/log FET (sTfR-F index). Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the associations between those markers and risk of stroke. Age, gender, high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), body mass index (BMI), current smoking, drinking status, diabetes and hypertension were included as potential confounding factors. Results: We observed longitudinal associations of hemoglobin (HR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.15 – 2.06, P = 0.004), and sTfR-F index (HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.46 – 0.99, P = 0.044) with stroke risk among the participants whose BMI ≤ 23 kg/m2. In addition, FET levels were significantly associated with stroke risk among female (HR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.00 – 2.09, P = 0.049) after a median of 6.1 years follow-up. Hemoglobin, FET, TRF, sTRF-R, and sTfR-F index were not associated with the risk of stroke in overall analyses. Conclusion: FET among female, hemoglobin and sTfR-F index among those BMI ≤ 23 kg/m2 may be contributing factors for stroke.

Abstract BACKGROUND Flow diverters (FDs) have marked the beginning of innovations in the endovascular treatment of large unruptured intracranial aneurysms, but no multi-institutional studies have been conducted on these devices from both the clinical and economic perspectives. OBJECTIVE To compare retreatment rates and healthcare expenditures between FDs and conventional coiling-based treatments in all eligible cases in Japan. METHODS We identified patients who had undergone endovascular treatments during the study period (October 2015-March 2018) from a national-level claims database. The outcome measures were retreatment rates and 1-yr total healthcare expenditures, which were compared among patients who had undergone FD, coiling, and stent-assisted coiling (SAC) treatments. The coiling and SAC groups were further categorized according to the number of coils used. Retreatment rates were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models, and total expenditures were analyzed using multilevel mixed-effects generalized linear models. RESULTS The study sample comprised 512 FD patients, 1499 coiling patients, and 711 SAC patients. The coiling groups with ≥10 coils and ≥9 coils had significantly higher retreatment rates than the FD group with hazard ratios of 2.75 (1.30-5.82) and 2.52 (1.24-5.09), respectively. In addition, the coiling group with ≥10 coils and SAC group with ≥10 coils had significantly higher 1-year expenditures than the FD group with cost ratios (95% CI) of 1.30 (1.13-1.49) and 1.31 (1.15-1.50), respectively. CONCLUSION In this national-level study, FDs demonstrated significantly lower retreatment rates and total expenditures than conventional coiling with ≥ 9 coils.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the potential influence of dietary Se intake on mortality among Chinese populations.DesignWe prospectively evaluated all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality risks associated with dietary Se intake in participants of the Shanghai Women’s Health Study (SWHS) and the Shanghai Men’s Health study (SMHS). Dietary Se intake was assessed by validated FFQ during in-person interviews. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % CI.SettingUrban city in China.SubjectsChinese adults (n 133 957).ResultsDuring an average follow-up of 13·90 years in the SWHS and 8·37 years in the SMHS, 5749 women and 4217 men died. The mean estimated dietary Se intake was 45·48 μg/d for women and 51·34 μg/d for men, respectively. Dietary Se intake was inversely associated with all-cause mortality and CVD mortality in both women and men, with respective HR for the highest compared with the lowest quintile being 0·79 (95 % CI 0·71, 0·88; Ptrend<0·0001) and 0·80 (95 % CI 0·66, 0·98; Ptrend=0·0268) for women, and 0·79 (95 % CI 0·70, 0·89; Ptrend=0·0001) and 0·66 (95 % CI 0·54, 0·82; Ptrend=0·0002) for men. No significant associations were observed for cancer mortality in both women and men. Results were similar in subgroup and sensitivity analyses.ConclusionsDietary Se intake was inversely associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in both sexes, but not cancer mortality.

Abstract Objectives Increasing evidence in animal models and humans suggests that diets high in sulfur-containing amino acids (SAA) could be associated a greater risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, data from longitudinal human studies linking dietary SAA intake with T2D is lacking. The present study aimed to examine the association between long-term dietary intake of SAA including total SAAs, methionine, and cysteine and incident T2D in participants of the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). Methods Adult participants were selected from two prospective FHS cohorts: The Offspring Cohort (followed from 1991 to 2015, n = 3799) and the Third Generation Cohort (followed from 2002 to 2011, n = 4096). Individuals identified as diabetes patients before baseline, having missing diet or covariates data, or reported extreme daily energy intake were excluded. Energy-adjusted intake of dietary SAAs was calculated from responses to a 131-item food frequency questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate associations between intakes of SAAs (in quintiles) and risk of T2D in each cohort. A combined analysis was also performed pooling subjects from both cohorts. Results Overall, we documented 471 T2D events during 9–23 years of follow-up. In both cohorts, higher SAA intake was associated with a higher risk of T2D after adjustment for demographics, traditional risk factors and related nutrients. Comparing participants in the highest quintile with those in the lowest quintile of intake, adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) were 1.98 (1.15–3.41) for total intake (P for trend = 0.04) in the Offspring cohort, and 4.37 (1.40–13.67) (P for trend = 0.01) in the Third Generation cohort. In the combination analysis of two cohorts, adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) were 1.98 (1.23–3.21) for total intake, 2.21 (1.38–3.53) for methionine, and 1.79 (1.12–2.87) for cysteine (P for trends &lt; 0.03). Conclusions Higher long-term SAA intake was associated with higher risk for T2D in humans, suggesting that dietary patterns emphasizing low SAA intake are protective against development of T2D.

Abstract Background The relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectories and myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear in people with diabetes or prediabetes. We aimed to identify common eGFR trajectories in people with diabetes or prediabetes and to examine their association with MI risk. Methods The data of this analysis was derived from the Kailuan study, which was a prospective community-based cohort study. The eGFR trajectories of 24,723 participants from year 2006 to 2012 were generated by latent mixture modeling. Incident cases of MI occurred during 2012 to 2017, confirmed by review of medical records. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the subsequent risk of MI of different eGFR trajectories. Results We identified 5 distinct eGFR trajectories, and named them as low-stable (9.4%), moderate-stable (31.4%), moderate-increasing (29.5%), high-decreasing (13.9%) and high-stable (15.8%) according to their range and pattern. During a mean follow-up of 4.61 years, there were a total of 235 incident MI. Although, the high-decreasing group had similar eGFR levels with the moderate-stable group at last exposure period, the risk was much higher (adjusted HR, 3.43; 95%CI, 1.56–7.54 versus adjusted HR, 2.82; 95%CI, 1.34–5.95). Notably, the moderate-increasing group had reached to the normal range, still had a significantly increased risk (adjusted HR, 2.55; 95%CI, 1.21–5.39). Conclusions eGFR trajectories were associated with MI risk in people with diabetes or prediabetes. Emphasis should be placed on early and long-term detection and control of eGFR decreases to further reduce MI risk.
