Introduction:The paucity of large-scale data exploring the effect of prior bariatric surgery on recurrent stroke outcomes in elderly obese stroke survivors led us to address the gap, with an emphasis on the risk of recurrent stroke and its trends.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted using National Inpatient Sample data from 2016-2019.
Background:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease-related morbidity and mortality. We compared in-hospital outcomes based on the presence versus absence of Group 2 PH. The primary outcome was 30-day readmissions. 4.58, p=0.001), mechanical ventilation use (aOR 2.07, 95% CI 1.19–3.6,
years]) admitted to the China Chest Pain Center Database between 2016 and 2021. The primary outcome was a composite of inhospital adverse events. Associations between multimorbidity patterns and outcomes were evaluated using multivariableadjusted logistic regression models. Among 9570 patients, 50% (n=4789) had multimorbidity.
This study evaluates the outcomes in patients admitted for HF with and without hyperkalemia.Methods:We used the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) from 2016-2019, extracting adult patients with a primary diagnosis of HF who were admitted between January and November of each year. vs. 2.5%, p < 0.001). 2], p<0.001).Conclusion:Hyperkalemia
Introduction:Studies have reported racial disparities in acute stroke treatment and follow-up care in young patients which lead to less desirable outcomes for minorities. A logistic regression was used to evaluate the odds ratio of favorable functional outcomes (mRS 2) by 90 days. male, covering 57.2% BL, and 20.4% BL, and 20.4%
Racial and ethnic disparities in risk factors and outcomes for young patients with ischemic stroke (AIS) are well described. Less is known about disparities in risk and outcomes for young patients presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which is associated with higher short-term and long-term mortality. Hispanic (HIS), 4.9%
Background Cancer treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor signalling pathway (VSP) inhibitors frequently causes hypertension. Objectives The study aims to clarify whether RASIs exhibit clinical benefits for patients with cancer with hypertension. to 1.06, p=0.386).
Atrial fibrillation is also a predictor of worse outcomes in this case (Alborzi). 2016, April 13). Q waves in association with RBBB are usually not seen in anterior leads unless there is pulmonary hypertension or anterior infarction. RBBB in blunt chest trauma seems to be indicative of several RV injury. References Alborzi, Z.,
Methods This observational study assessed single-chamber ICD recipients implanted from 2006 to 2016 from Boston Scientific's ALTITUDE database and linked to the NCDR ICD Registry. The outcome was defined as the development of >20% RV pacing averaged over any continuous 90-day period within 24 months after the ICD implant.
We investigated the relationship between atrial cardiopathy and cancer among patients with AIS.Methods:We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study among consecutive patients hospitalized with AIS at a quaternary care center in New York City from 2011 through 2016. The study exposure was active cancer. Active cancer was present in 9.6%
Background:Obesity has been associated with an increase in the risk of stroke and poor outcomes. Trends, demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were then compared between the two cohorts.Results:Overall Prevalence of stroke was higher in the MHO-ve cohort (2.4% p<0.001) compared to the MHO+ve cohort.
We reviewed the characteristics and in-hospital outcomes and developed a novel risk score for TC. Methods Using the National Inpatient Sample data from 2016 to 2020, we identified adult patients (≥18 years) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and TC. We divided the cohort into ACS with and without TC and retrieved baseline data.
Results:Demographics (age, sex), cerebrovascular risk factors (hypertension) were similar between both groups. Conclusion:At our hospital, there were no significant differences in overall outcomes for patients treated before or after 24 hours of symptom onset for aneurysmal SAH.
Moreover , the patient has ongoing symptoms and has an unexplained elevated troponin, so she is having an MI and the only question is whether it is type 1 or type 2 due to hypertension. link] Opiates are associated with worse outcomes in Myocardial Infarction. A patient with OMI can have a totally normal ECG!" Circulation , 130 (25).
times more likely to have a favorable outcome than those who do not achieve this goal. The final models included 1,317 patients with available MRS data and 1,789 patients with available discharge disposition data respectively. p = 0.90, 95% CI = [-0.9, There was no affect of DTD</=90 on length of stay or discharge to home.
There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. [1] Circulation Research 118.11 (2016): 1752-1770. 2016): 443 – 455. 2016): 311-322. Piercy, Katrina L.,
The primary clinical outcomes were all‐cause mortality during same admission. Secondary safety outcomes included intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), seizures, gastric tube (G‐tube) insertion, > 24‐hours mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, length of stay (LOS), and discharge location (home vs. others).
This study aims to address this gap by examining the association between MA and 90-day AIS readmission.Methods:Using the National Readmission Database between 2016 and 2019, we identified patients admitted with a principal or non-principal diagnosis of migraine. The primary outcome was subsequent AIS admission within 90 days.
Outcomes included favorable disposition (discharged to home) and in-hospital mortality.Results:Among 68,975 of stroke MT with recorded NIHSS during the study period (51.1% Outcomes included favorable disposition (discharged to home) and in-hospital mortality.Results:Among 68,975 of stroke MT with recorded NIHSS during the study period (51.1%
When broken down by disease category, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, stroke, osteoarthritis, hypertension and stroke, the pattern is the same. There is very little we can do to avoid these outcomes, but we can set the odds in our favour to delay the onset of the major chronic disease that is likely to be our cause of death.
The primary outcomes were ischemic stroke, all-cause mortality, and global cognitive decline.Results:Of 1872 eligible patients, 1628 (87.0%) were interviewed (1004 [61.7%] with asymptomatic ICAS; 624 [38.3%] with symptomatic ICAS). All patients received follow-ups through August 2023. 3.16; P < 0.001) compared with asymptomatic ICAS.
