Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of HbA1C/C-peptide ratio on short-term mortality (this period is defined as 30 days after diagnosis) in the patients with myocardial infarction.Materials & Methods: Around 3245 patients who were admitted due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention between October 2020 and 2024 were included in this study.Results: In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the predictive power of the HCR score for mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients was determined to be 83% sensitivity and 81% specificity. In non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, this was determined to be 78% sensitivity and 75% specificity.Conclusion: The HbA1C/C-peptide ratio score can predict poor clinical outcomes early, reducing mortality and morbidity in patients with myocardial infarction.
Aim: To investigate the diagnostic potential of the miR-200 family for early detection in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials & methods: A systematic search was conducted of PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases to identify studies of the miR-200 family in NSCLC. Sixteen studies meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis with a total of 20 cohorts. Results: The combined sensitivity and specificity reached 73% and 85%, with an area under the curve of 0.83. Notably, miR-200b introduced heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis highlighted miR-200a and miR-141 as more sensitive, while blood-derived miRNAs showed slightly lower accuracy. Conclusion: The miR-200 family, predominantly assessed in blood, exhibits significant diagnostic potential for NSCLC, especially in distinguishing it from benign diseases.
