Prospective cohort study of participants in the fifth visit of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. Baseline data were collected from 2011 to 2013. Follow-up was available to December 31, 2017. Replication was performed in Geisinger, a health system in rural Pennsylvania. For ARIC, four US communities Washington County, Maryland; Forsyth County, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; and suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. A total of 4947 community-dwelling men and women aged 66 to 90 years. Serum albumin. Incident all-cause hospitalization and death. Among the 4947 participants, mean age was 75.5 years (SD 5.12) and mean baseline serum albumin concentration was 4.05 g/dL (SD 0.30). Over a median follow-up period of 4.42 years (interquartile interval 4.16-5.05), 553 participants (11.2%) died and 2457 particf pre-existing disease. Older adults with low serum albumin should be considered a high-risk population and targeted for interventions to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. Lower baseline serum albumin was significantly associated with increased risk of both all-cause hospitalization and death, independent of pre-existing disease. Older adults with low serum albumin should be considered a high-risk population and targeted for interventions to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.Phenotypes of some rare genetic diseases are atypical and it is a challenge for pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) to diagnose and manage such patients in an emergency. In this study, we investigated 58 PICU patients (39 deceased and 19 surviving) in critical ill status or died shortly without a clear etiology. Whole exome sequencing was performed of 103 DNA samples from their families. Disease-causing single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy nu
