Evaluation of Plasma Amino Acid Levels in Preterm Infants and Their Potential Correlation with Retinopathy of Prematurity by Yasin Ozcan, Gumus Huseyin, Kenan Sonmez

“…The mean serum arginine and glutamine levels were significantly higher, but the mean lysine and aspartic acid levels were significantly lower in Group A, compared to Group B (p=0.04, p=0.002, p=0.029, and p=0.002, respectively). In multivariate analysis, the mean arginine and lysine levels were significantly associated with the stage of the disease (p=0.03 and p=0.01, respectively). …”

Clinical Characteristics and Mortality-Associated Factors in Trauma Patients Undergoing Permanent Versus Temporary Tracheostomy by Ahmad K. Alnemare

“…<b>Results:</b> Analysis of the total cohort revealed that patients with tracheostomy demonstrated high rates of severe injuries (75.2%) and a notable comorbidity burden, including cardiovascular disorders (4.0%) and blood disorders (5.8%). Multivariate analysis revealed that mortality risk was independently associated with advanced age (OR 1.018, 95% CI 1.016–1.021), higher injury severity scores (OR 1.004, CI 1.002–1.007), female sex (OR 1.187, CI 1.078–1.308), and cardiovascular surgical intervention (OR 1.487, CI 1.350–1.638). …”
