Does overweight modulate APOE and APOA5 alleles on the risk of severe hypertriglyceridemia?
Overweight/obesity may potentiate the genetic variants of the APOE4 and APOA5_'T' alleles on the risk of sHTG.
Patients undergoing vascular surgery at SNPHs, despite being younger, had higher comorbidities, presented more urgently with more advanced disease, and incurred higher costs than the SNPH cohort despite similar adjusted odds of in-hospital mortality. Delayed presentation and higher comorbidities are most likely related to poor access to routine and preventive health care for the SNPH patients.
