The model showed good discrimination with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.785 (95 % CI: 0.736–0.833) and was validated well with bootstrap internal validation (AUC: 0.792, 95 % CI: 0.745–0.839). Calibration curves indicated good fit (χ2 = 4.148, <em>P</em> = 0.844), aligning observed and predicted rates of prolonged ICU stays. Decision curve analysis (DCA) showed positive net benefits across a threshold probability range of 0.07–0.85.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>The model developed in this study may help predict the risk of prolonged ICU stays for patients with psychotropic drug poisoning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55064,"journal":{"name":"Heart & Lung","volume":"68 ","pages":"Pages 350-358"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142162306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Food environments may be linked with the risk of CVD; however, current study findings regarding their relationship are inconsistent.

The review quality was assessed according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The included studies were categorized based on their exposure factors into unhealthy, healthy, and comprehensive food environments, encompassing facilities that offer healthy and unhealthy foods.

Of the seven studies on healthy food environments, 3 found a negative association with CVD outcomes. Additionally, 4 out of 8 studies on comprehensive food environments found a significant but inconsistent association with CVD outcomes.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This study suggested that unhealthy food environments are probably associated with CVD outcomes. At the same time, there is currently no conclusive evidence to indicate a relationship between healthy food environments or comprehensive food environments and CVD outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55064,"journal":{"name":"Heart & Lung","volume":"68 ","pages":"Pages 359-366"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142162303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
