Major adverse cardiovascular events in adult congenital heart disease: a population-based follow-up study from Taiwan
Conclusions: After a median of 11 years of follow-up, the Taiwanese patients with ConHD were at an increased risk of life-long cardiovascular MACE, including heart failure, stroke, acute coronary syndrome, and malignant dysrhythmia. Surgical correction may help to decrease long-term MACE in ConHD patients, especially those with ASD.

Use of the CHA2DS2-VASc Score for Risk Stratification of Hospital Admissions Among Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases Receiving a Fourth-Generation Synchronous Telehealth Program: Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions: A higher CHA2DS2-VASc score was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular admissions. Patients accepting the fourth-generation telehealth program with CHA2DS2-VASc scores ≥4 benefit most by remaining free from cardiovascular hospitalization.

Long-Term Follow-up in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Treated With or Without Surgical Intervention: a Large-Scale Retrospective Study
AbstractDebates regarding the most beneficial medical or surgical procedures for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) are still ongoing. We aimed to evaluate the risk of subsequent vascular disease and mortality in patients with sICH treated with and without surgical intervention, in a large-scale Asian population. Patients hospitalized within 2000 to 2013 who were newly diagnosed with sICH were identified using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Neuroendoscopy and craniotomy groups comprised patients who underwent surgical treatment within 1  week, while those in the control g...

Clustering of functioning and disability profile based on the WHO disability assessment schedule 2.0 - a nationwide databank study.
Conclusion: We converted WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0. functioning domain scores into six-dimensioned radar chart, and demonstrate disability restrictions can be further categorized into clusters according to similarity of functioning impairment. Understanding of disease-related disabilities provides an important basis for designing rehabilitation programs and policies on social welfare and health that reflect the daily-living needs of people according to diagnosis.Implication for RehabilitationThe use of radar charts provided a direct visualization of the scope and severity of disabilities associated with specif...

Continuation or discontinuation of oral anticoagulants after HAS-BLED scores increase in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsFor patients whose HAS-BLED scores increased to  ≥ 3, the continuation of OACs was associated with better clinical outcomes. An increased HAS-BLED score in anticoagulated AF patients may not be the only reason to withhold OACs, but reminds physicians to correct modifiable bleeding risk factors and follow up patients more closely.Graphical abstractAssociations between Continuation or Discontinuation of Oral Anticoagulants and Risks of Clinical Outcomes after HAS-BLED Scores IncreasedAF atrial fibrillation;aHR adjusted hazard ratio;ICH intra-cranial hemorrhage;OACs oral anticoagulants

1 Ventricular assist devices: developments in asia and global outlook for the next 10 years
The advent of left ventricular assist systems to support patients with advanced-stage heart failure has been a 50 year odyssey, now available broadly to such patients.1 Engineering advances have ushered in an era of small, durable devices that can be fully implanted within the chest. Yet, haemocompatibility related adverse events, which emanate from the interaction between the device and the patient they support are manifest principally in increased stroke rates, de novo device thrombosis requiring replacement and in gastrointestinal bleeding (a peculiar adverse event resulting from the unnatural physiology of continuous f...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16064: Hypocalcemia Is a Common Risk Factor for Osteoporosis in Taiwanese Patients with Cushing & rsquo;s Syndrome
Conclusions: Our study found that lower serum calcium levels were common among patients with CS and osteoporosis. Furthermore, CS patients with HF or stroke had high proportion of hypocalcemia. Therefore, these patients must pay more attention to adequate calcium supplementation and undergo the appropriate osteoporosis drug treatment to reduce the risk of subsequent fracture and disability.
