Increasing prevalence of vascular risk factors in patients with stroke: A call to action
Conclusions: Despite numerous guidelines and prevention initiatives, prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, and drug abuse in AIS increased across the 2004–2014 period. Proportion of patients with carotid stenosis, CRF, and multiple risk factors also increased. Enhanced risk factor modification strategies and implementation of evidence-based recommendations are needed for optimal stroke prevention.

Rates and reasons for hospital readmission after acute ischemic stroke in a US population-based cohort
We examined readmissions rates, diagnoses at readmission, and risk factors associated with readmission following acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in a large United States (US) administrative database. Using the 201 9 Nationwide Readmissions Database, we identified adults discharged with AIS (ICD-10-CM I63*) as the principal diagnosis. Survival analysis with Weibull accelerated failure time regression was used to examine variables associated with hospital readmission. In 2019, 273,811 of 285,451 AIS patients su rvived their initial hospitalization. Of these, 60,831 (22.2%) were readmitted within 2019. Based on Kaplan Meyer analy...

P-029 Impact of in-hospital delirium on outcomes of acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionsDelirium complicates ~3.5% of AIS admissions, and is associated with increased risk of in-hospital death, longer stay, higher charges and decrease in likelihood of home discharge.Disclosures D.

Unplanned readmission after carotid stenting versus endarterectomy: analysis of the United States Nationwide Readmissions Database
Conclusions Readmission is not uncommon after carotid revascularization, occurs more often after CAS, and is predicted by baseline factors and by preventable adverse events at initial admission.

Are Cardiac Complications Associated With Other Adverse Events? A Look at 56,000 Orthopaedic Trauma Patients.
Authors: Yarlagadda M, Shen M, Abraham A, Mousavi I, Sethi MK Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify those complications for which patients with adverse cardiac events are at risk within the 30-day postoperative period following treatment oforthopaedic trauma cases. This was a retrospective cohort study of orthopaedic trauma patients in the United States between 2006 and 2013. A total of 56,336 patients meeting any one of 89 CPT codes in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database were used. The main outcome measure was myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest ...

Estimating Quality of Life Decrements Due to Diabetes Complications in the United States: The Health Utility Index (HUI) Diabetes Complication Equation
ConclusionsMacrovascular and microvascular complications caused QALY decrements in patients with type 2 diabetes. While only part of the total impaired QALY is experienced during the event year, further QALY decrements for successive years were quite substantial.

Heat-Related Mortality in Japan after the 2011 Fukushima Disaster: An Analysis of Potential Influence of Reduced Electricity Consumption
Conclusions: In the prefectures with the greatest reductions in electricity consumption, heat-related mortality decreased rather than increased following the Great East Japan Earthquake. Additional research is needed to determine whether this finding holds for other populations and regions, and to clarify its implications for policies to reduce the consequences of climate change on health. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP493 Received: 11 May 2016 Revised: 07 March 2017 Accepted: 13 March 2017 Published: 06 July 2017 Address correspondence to M.

Comparison of the Ecarin Chromogenic Assay and Diluted Thrombin Time for Quantification of Dabigatran Concentrations
ConclusionsFor detection of levels below 50 ng/mL both tests have specificities of at least 96%, suggesting that they accurately detect even low levels of drug. Therefore, regardless of whether a chromogenic or clot‐based platform is preferred, the STA‐ECA‐II and dTT are useful tests for measuring dabigatran concentrations. Unfortunately, neither test is licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Although approved in other jurisdictions, the dTT and STA‐ECA‐II are not widely or rapidly available in most hospitals. Therefore, cooperation between regulators and hospitals is urgently needed to rende...

Pre-existing Renal Failure Increases In-Hospital Mortality in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage
We read with interest the study of Khatri et al that concluded pre-existing renal failure increased the risk of in-hospital mortality among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).1 These results were derived from a retrospective analysis of over 328,000 adult patients (11.8% with pre-existing renal failure) who were admitted to hospitals in the United States with ICH over a 5-year period.

Medicare's bundled payment model did not change skilled nursing facility discharge patterns.
CONCLUSIONS: Hospital participation in BPCI was not associated with changes in the number of SNF partners or in discharge concentration relative to non-BPCI hospitals. More research is needed to understand how hospitals are responding to bundled payment incentives and specific practices that contribute to improvements in cost and quality.
