BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is common in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and may develop earlier in those with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities, potentially impairing self-management and treatment adherence. This study aimed to characterize the prevalence and profile of MCI in AF patients, examine its associations with cardiovascular comorbidities, and assess how these comorbidities influence specific cognitive domains. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from AF patients who underwent cognitive assessment between 2017 and 2021. Cognitive status was categorized as MCI or non-MCI based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Associations between comorbidities and MCI were assessed by logistic regression, and cognitive domains were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: Of 4136 AF patients (mean age: 64.7 ± 9.4 years, 64.7% male), 33.5% of patients had MCI. Among the AF patients, 31.2% of patients had coronary artery disease, 20.1% of patients had heart failure, and 18.1% of patients had hypertension. 88.7% of patients had left atrial enlargement, and 11.0% of patients had reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Independent factors associated with higher MCI prevalence included older age (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03-1.05, P < 0.001), lower education level (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.31-1.73, P < 0.001), hypertension (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.07-1.52, P = 0.001), heart failure (OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.48, P = 0.020), and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.04-1.98, P = 0.028). A higher CHA₂DS₂-VASc score (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.22-1.33, P < 0.001; ≥ 2 points vs. < 2 points), and greater atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease burden (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.02-2.08, P = 0.040; 2 types vs. 0 type) were linked to increased MCI risk. These above factors influenced various cognitive domains. CONCLUSIONS MCI is common in AF and closely associated with cardiovascular multimorbidity. Patients with multiple comorbidities are at higher risk, highlighting the importance of routine cognitive assessment to support self-management and integrated care.

Objective:To explore the establishment of a Cox proportional hazard prediction model for the re-cent(within a week)delivery of pregnant women with threatened early preterm labor(28-33+6 weeks).Meth-ods:The clinical data of 293 patients with threatened early preterm labor at 28-33+6 weeks admitted to the De-partment of Obstetrics,Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected.According to whether the patient gave birth recently(within a week)during hospi-talization,they were divided into delivery group(n=88)and non-delivery group(n=205).Demographic data,specialty conditions and clinical biochemical indicators were collected,and the differences of each observation in-dex between the two groups were compared.Cox multivariate analysis was used to screen variables,and then the Cox proportional hazard prediction model was constructed to calculate the hazard ratio(HR).The C-index was used to test the predictive ability of the model,and the nomogram was drawn to visualize the Cox proportional hazard prediction model.The calibration curve was used to test the consistency between the model prediction re-sults and the actual situation.Results:The average age of the delivery group was 30.2±5.0 years old,and the average prolonged pregnancy time was 61.3±47.5 hours.Compared to the group that gave birth and did not give birth,the proportion of patients with body mass index(BMI)at admission,parity＞1,gestational diabetes mellitus or diabetic pregnancy combined(GDM/PGDM),abnormal fetal orientation,regular contractions at admis-sion,vaginal cleanliness≥ Ⅲ,white blood cell count ≥10 ×109/L at admission and cervical length＜20 mm,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis:BMI＞30 kg/m2(HR 2.178,95％CI 1.208-3.928,P=0.010),parity＞1(HR 3.095,95％CI 1.759-5.447,P＜0.001),regular uterine contraction(HR3.447,95％CI 2.216-5.362,P＜0.001),cervical length＜20 mm(HR3.594,95％CI 2.289-5.646,P＜0.001)and white blood cell count≥10 ×109/L(HR2.124,95％CI 1.352-3.335,P=0.001)on admission were independent risk factors for recent(within a week)delivery of pregnant women with threatened early preterm birth.When the above 5 indicators were included in the prediction model,the C-index was 0.797(95％CI 0.750-0.844),indicating that the model had good prediction ability.The calibration chart shows that the prediction results of the model are in good agreement with the actual results.Conclusions:Preg-nant women with BMI＞30 kg/m2 at admission,parity＞1,regular uterine contraction at admission,cervical length＜20 mm at admission and white blood cell count≥10 ×109/L at admission are prone to premature delivery in the near future.Cox proportional risk prediction model based on the above risk factors has certain accuracy,which can be used to guide clinical workers to take corresponding intervention measures in advance to avoid or reduce the possibility of premature delivery in the near future and improve maternal and infant outcomes.

A 41-year-old male was presented with rapidly progression memory impairment for 2 months and episodic limb shaking for 2 weeks as the main manifestations.Physical examination showed verbal disadvantage with decreased memory,attention,comprehension,and orientation.Serum vitamin B12 levels decreased,serum anti gastric parietal cell antibodies and anti-intrinsic factor antibodies were positive.Blood analysis showed macrocytic anemia,neuropsychological scale showed functional impairment in multiple cognitive domains,electrophysiological examination showed peripheral nerve damage,cerebrospinal fluid and imaging examination showed no abnormalities.The patient was diagnosed as having vitamin B12 deficiency dementia,vitamin B12 deficiency related involuntary movement and pernicious anemia.Supplementing with B vitamins and folic acid significantly improved cognitive impairment and eliminated symptoms of limb shaking.The purpose of this case report is to enhance the understanding of clinical doctors about dementia and involunting movement caused by vitamin B12 deficiency,in order to diagnose and treat it early.
