The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of LA levels in blood or adipose tissue samples with risk for stroke. PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched until February 29, 2020 to identify eligible observational studies, including cohort studies, nested case-control studies, case-cohort studies, and case-control studies, reporting the association of LA with the risk for stroke and its subtypes. We pooled hazard ratio (HR) estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and conducted heterogeneity test. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias test were also carried out. Twelve studies from 11 observational articles involving 47 836 individuals were included in the meta-analysis. We observed an inverse association between biomarkers of dietary LA and risk for total stroke (HR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.94; P < 0.001). Meta-regression analysis sug further studies. Obese patients have an increased risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which in turn predisposes to malnutrition. Obesity has been associated with improved survival in critically ill patients (obesity paradox), but this effect seems to disappear when adjusting for malnutrition. How obesity and malnutrition interplay to affect mortality in critically ill patients with AML has not been addressed and was the objective of this study. This was a retrospective chart review of adult patients with AML who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit and had a nutrition consultation between 2011 and 2018. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, severity scores, and laboratory parameters, as well as data on vital organ support, hospital mortality, and long-term survival were collected. Obesity was defined by a body mass index of ≥30 kg/m and malnutrition per the American Societ
