INTRODUCTION: This study used the novel C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index to explore its relationship with the risk of developing gallstones. METHODS: This study conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2017 to 2020; multivariable logistic regression examined the CALLY-gallstone association. Restricted cubic splines tested nonlinearity. Subgroup and mediation analyses explored population variations and mediating effects (Conicity, lipid accumulation product, and a body shape index). Receiver operating characteristic curves compared CALLY, systemic immune inflammation index, systemic inflammatory response index, and aggregate index of systemic inflammation predictive performance. RESULTS: After comprehensive adjustments, the highest CALLY quartile had significantly lower gallstone risk vs the lowest (odds ratio 0.56, 95% confidence interval 0.34–0.94). Restricted cubic splines revealed a linear inverse correlation. Subgroup analyses generally supported this inverse relationship. Mediation analysis identified the Conicity index as the strongest mediator (21.47%, P < 0.001), followed by lipid accumulation product and a body shape index (10.72% each, P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed CALLY (area under the curve = 0.604) outperformed systemic immune inflammation index (0.540), systemic inflammatory response index (0.550), and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (0.546). DISCUSSION: A significant inverse association exists between the CALLY index and gallstone prevalence. The CALLY index demonstrates superior predictive ability compared with other indices, suggesting its potential utility as an objective biomarker for early gallstone risk identification.

Importance The clinical effects of risankizumab (a monoclonal antibody that selectively targets the p19 subunit of IL-23) for the treatment of ulcerative colitis are unknown. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab when administered as an induction and a maintenance therapy for patients with ulcerative colitis. Design, Setting, and Participants Two phase 3 randomized clinical trials were conducted. The induction trial was conducted at 261 clinical centers (in 41 countries) and enrolled 977 patients from November 5, 2020, to August 4, 2022 (final follow-up on May 16, 2023). The maintenance trial was conducted at 238 clinical centers (in 37 countries) and enrolled 754 patients from August 28, 2018, to March 30, 2022 (final follow-up on April 11, 2023). Eligible patients had moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis; a history of intolerance or inadequate response to 1 or more conventional therapies, advanced therapies, or both types of therapies; and no prior exposure to risankizumab. Interventions For the induction trial, patients were randomized 2:1 to receive 1200 mg of risankizumab or placebo administered intravenously at weeks 0, 4, and 8. For the maintenance trial, patients with a clinical response (determined using the adapted Mayo score) after intravenous treatment with risankizumab were randomized 1:1:1 to receive subcutaneous treatment with 180 mg or 360 mg of risankizumab or placebo (no longer receiving risankizumab) every 8 weeks for 52 weeks. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was clinical remission (stool frequency score ≤1 and not greater than baseline, rectal bleeding score of 0, and endoscopic subscore ≤1 without friability) at week 12 for the induction trial and at week 52 for the maintenance trial. Results Among the 975 patients analyzed in the induction trial (aged 42.1 [SD, 13.8] years; 586/973 [60.1%] were male; and 677 [69.6%] were White), the clinical remission rates at week 12 were 132/650 (20.3%) for 1200 mg of risankizumab and 20/325 (6.2%) for placebo (adjusted between-group difference, 14.0% [95% CI, 10.0%-18.0%], P &amp;lt; .001). Among the 548 patients analyzed in the maintenance trial (aged 40.9 [SD, 14.0] years; 313 [57.1%] were male; and 407 [74.3%] were White), the clinical remission rates at week 52 were 72/179 (40.2%) for 180 mg of risankizumab, 70/186 (37.6%) for 360 mg of risankizumab, and 46/183 (25.1%) for placebo (adjusted between-group difference for 180 mg of risankizumab vs placebo, 16.3% [97.5% CI, 6.1%-26.6%], P &amp;lt; .001; adjusted between-group difference for 360 mg of risankizumab vs placebo, 14.2% [97.5% CI, 4.0%-24.5%], P = .002). No new safety risks were detected in the treatment groups. Conclusion and Relevance Compared with placebo, risankizumab improved clinical remission rates in an induction trial and in a maintenance trial for patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Further study is needed to identify benefits beyond the 52-week follow-up. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT03398148 and NCT03398135
