Does elevated serum YKL-40 level predict myocardial reperfusion and in-hospital MACE in patients with STEMI?
We found that serum YKL-40 is related to older age, increased admission glucose levels, leukocyte counts and decreased hemoglobin levels; YKL-40 level and leukocyte count independently predicted MACE.
The consumption of LCS-containing beverages has doubled among US children over the past decade. Further research is needed to understand the health effects of this trend.
