Approaches in Prehospital Sepsis Screening
Discussion
In the United States, sepsis is one of the leading causes of death, which requires timely identification and proper treatment (CDC, 2019; Guerra et al., 2020; Polito et al., 2015). Based upon a review of literature conducted from 2014 to 2018, the primary investigators could locate five prehospital EMS screening tools to assist EMS providers in identifying at-risk sepsis patients. The researchers explored how the modified SIRS and qSOFA scoring systems were used in hospital settings in addition to these five prehospital EMS screening tools.
The Bas 90-30-90, Guerra, PRESEP, PRESS, and Robson tools have ove...

The Presentation, Pace, and Profile of Infection and Sepsis Patients Hospitalized Through the Emergency Department: An Exploratory Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical presentation of sepsis was heterogeneous and occurred with rapid onset prior to hospital presentation. These findings have important implications for improving public education, clinical treatment, and quality measures of sepsis care.PMID:33655214 | PMC:PMC7909460 | DOI:10.1097/CCE.0000000000000344

Inaccurate recognition of own comorbidities is associated with poor prognosis in elderly patients with heart failure
ConclusionsThe ability to recognize their own comorbidities among older patients with heart failure was low. Patients with less accurate recognition of their comorbidities may be at higher risk for a composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure rehospitalization.

Peer-support interventions for women with cardiovascular disease: protocol for synthesising the literature using an evidence map
Introduction
The leading cause of death for women is cardiovascular disease (CVD), including ischaemic heart disease, stroke and heart failure. Previous literature suggests peer support interventions improve self-reported recovery, hope and empowerment in other patient populations, but the evidence for peer support interventions in women with CVD is unknown. The aim of this study is to describe peer support interventions for women with CVD using an evidence map. Specific objectives are to: (1) provide an overview of peer support interventions used in women with ischaemic heart disease, stroke and heart failure, (2) identif...

UCLA Nursing research on women and heart disease among key topics at nursing conference
New findings on the role gender plays in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart disease will be among the research topics highlighted by faculty members and students from the UCLA School of Nursing at the annual Western Institute of Nursing Conference, which runs from April 11 to 13 in Anaheim, Calif.
At a special state-of-the-science panel on Saturday, April 13, UCLA professor Lynn V. Doering will present a review of gender differences in identification, treatment and outcomes for cardiovascular disease, with a focus on coronary atherosclerosis, heart failure and stroke. During the same panel, UCLA profes...

Abstract 150: Resource Utilization Patterns and Outcomes Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Findings From a Multi-Payer Analysis Poster Session II
Conclusion: These findings suggest that many patients with ACS do not receive appropriate recommended antithrombotic prophylaxis, and opportunities exist to improve therapy. Increased use of software tools such as AQuA may support enhanced education efforts aimed at improving adherence to guidelines and quality of care.

Quality Measurement Combined With Peer Review Improved German In-Hospital Mortality Rates For Four Diseases Quality
We examined eighteen acute care hospitals purchased by the Helios Hospital Group in Germany from one year before to three years after the start of the intervention. In-hospital mortality for myocardial infarction, heart failure, ischemic stroke, and pneumonia was stratified by initial hospital performance and compared to the German average. Following the intervention, hospitals whose performance was initially subpar significantly reduced in-hospital mortality for all four diseases. In hospitals that initially performed well, no significant changes in mortality were observed. The observational nonrandomized data suggest tha...

President's Page: An Urgent Call to Action: Graduate Medical Education Funding and the Future of Health Care
Cardiovascular medicine is experiencing a confluence of events that pose a significant threat to the future health of the nation. By 2030, it is predicted that more than 40% of adult Americans will have some form of cardiovascular disease. In addition, current projections indicate a 25% increase in the prevalence of both heart failure and stroke over the next 20 years—a result of an aging U.S. population . To make matters more complicated, an additional 30 million Americans will be seeking healthcare services beginning as early as next year as a result of the Affordable Care Act .
