Background Diabetes can complicate hypertension management by increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. Studies targeting diabetes detection in hypertensive individuals demonstrating an increased risk of diabetes are lacking. We aimed to assess the performance of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and its cut-off point in det...

Background A rise and/or fall in cardiac troponin value with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit is essential for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) diagnosis. We evaluated the clinical usefulness of serial high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) measurements in AMI diagnosis, in terms of the predictability of ab...

Background The storage temperature and time of blood gas samples collected in syringes constitute preanalytical variables that could affect blood gas or lactate concentration measurement results. We analyzed the effect of storage temperature and time delay on arterial or venous blood gas stability related to pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Early detection of COVID-19 and immediate isolation of infected patients from the naive population are important to prevent further pandemic spread of the infection. Real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR to detect ...

Background Reports on metastatic or invasive infections by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) have increased recently. However, the effects of its virulence on clinical course and outcomes in pneumonia patients have rarely been addressed. We assessed and compared the clinical features of hvKp and classic K. pneumoniae (cKP) strains isolated...

Background Kidney failure occurs frequently and is associated with high mortality during sepsis. Proenkephalin (PENK) is an emerging biomarker of kidney function. We explored whether PENK levels could predict severity, organ failure, and mortality in septic patients. Methods We measured the PENK level in the plasma of 215 septic patients using the ...
