Metabolic syndrome severity is a meaningful marker of chronic kidney disease risk even when patients do not have other major risk factors.

As many as one quarter of people with chronic urticaria also have metabolic syndrome, data suggest.

Despite the findings, existing data around cardiovascular risk in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are limited, and more comprehensive information is needed to draw strong conclusions.

Factors such as age, smoking status, and body mass index can help clinicians predict a patient’s risk of 30-day mortality.

Investigators found certain classes of prescriptions were also associated with outcomes, though they do not believe the association is necessarily a causal one.

TP53 mutations can have a significant impact on the prognosis of diseases like chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but their effect can vary based on numerous factors.
