Floods are the most frequent weather-related disaster, causing significant health impacts worldwide. Limited studies have examined the long-term consequences of flooding exposure. ⋯ Long-term exposure to floods is associated with an increased risk of mortality. The health consequences of flooding exposure would vary across different periods after the event, with different profiles of vulnerable populations identified for different causes of death. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the long-term impacts of flooding exposure.

Formerly incarcerated people have exceptionally poor health profiles and are at increased risk of preventable mortality when compared with their general population peers. However, not enough is known about the epidemiology of mortality in this population-specifically the rates, causes, and timing of death in specific subgroups and regions-to inform the development of targeted, evidence-based responses. We aimed to document the incidence, timing, causes, and risk factors for mortality after release from incarceration. ⋯ Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council.

Review Meta Analysis
Prolonged capillary refill time and short-term mortality of critically ill patients: A meta-analysis.
Prolonged capillary refill time (CRT) is an indicator of poor peripheral perfusion. The aim of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the association of prolonged CRT and mortality of critically ill patients. ⋯ Prolonged CRT at admission may be a predictor of increased short-term mortality of critically ill patients.

Review Meta Analysis
Impact of sarcopenia on outcomes of bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
To provide synthesized evidence on the association between sarcopenia and risk of mortality, recurrence and postoperative complications in patients with bladder cancer and undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). ⋯ Sarcopenia among patients with bladder cancer and managed using RC is associated with adverse survival outcomes and an increased risk of postoperative complications.
