Telemedicine use and outcomes after transient ischemic attack and minor stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic: a population-based cohort study
CMAJ Open. 2022 Oct 4;10(4):E865-E871. doi: 10.9778/cmajo.20220027. Print 2022 Oct-Dec.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in telemedicine use. We compared care and outcomes in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke before and after the widespread adoption of telemedicine in Ontario, Canada, in 2020.METHODS: In a population-based cohort study using linked administrative data, we identified patients with TIA or ischemic stroke discharged from any emergency department in Ontario before the widespread use of telemedicine (Apr. 1, 2015, to Mar. 31, 2020) and after (A...

MicroRNA and Hemostasis Profile of Carotid Atherosclerosis
We described the miRNA and hemostasis profile of patients with moderate and advanced stages of carotid atherosclerosis and elucidated potential correlations with hemostatic activation. A prospective case-control study included 61 patients with evidence of carotid atherosclerosis (via ultrasound). The study population was divided into groups depending on the degree of carotid artery stenosis: 60% or more (advanced) and <60% (moderate). All patients underwent the following blood tests: general blood test, hemostatic parameters and microRNA. Extraction of microRNA was performed using Leukocyte RNA Purification Kit (NOR...

Mortality and Morbidity Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Low-Level PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > , BC, NO < sub > 2 < /sub > , and O < sub > 3 < /sub > : An Analysis of European Cohorts in the ELAPSE Project
CONCLUSIONS: Long-term exposure to PM2.5, NO2, and BC was positively associated with natural-cause and cause-specific mortality in the pooled cohort and the administrative cohorts. Associations were found well below current limit values and guidelines for PM2.5 and NO2. Associations tended to be supralinear, with steeper slopes at low exposures with no indication of a threshold. Two-pollutant models documented the importance of characterizing the ambient mixture with both NO2 and PM2.5. We mostly found negative associations with O3. In two-pollutant models with NO2, the negative associations with O3 were attenuated to esse...

Consider alternative causes before allocating acute ischaemic stroke to COVID-19
We read with interest the excellent article by Dmytriw et al reported on a retrospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with COVID-19 with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) admitted to stroke units in the USA and Canada between March and August 2020.1 The primary endpoint was a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 5–6 and the secondary endpoints were an mRS<3, ordinal RS, symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage and complications during hospitalisation.1 It has been established that there may be an association between COVID-19-associated AIS and severe outcome or death, and that the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio predict...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 11243: High Temperatures and Cardiovascular-Related Morbidity: A Scoping Review
Piotr Wilk The primary objective of this review was to synthesize studies assessing the relationships between high temperatures and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related hospital encounters (i.e., emergency department (ED) visits or hospitalizations) in urban Canada and other comparable populations, and to identify areas for future research. Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus were searched between 6 April and 11 April 2020, and on 21 March 2021, to identify articles examining the relationship between high temperatures and CVD-related hospital encounters. Studies involvin...

Cost-free pharmacotherapy in smokers with TIA or stroke: QUIT-MED randomised controlled trial
Conclusions Our findings were inconclusive; we failed to meet our recruitment target and the effect size was smaller than anticipated. CF medication improved medication adherence. Trial registration number NCT00962988; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier.

Geographic and temporal variation in the treatment and outcomes of atrial fibrillation: a population-based analysis of national quality indicators
The objective of this study was to assess for potential geographic variation in the quality of atrial fibrillation care in Alberta, Canada.METHODS: In a population-based cohort of adults (age ≥ 18 yr) with incident nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) diagnosed between Apr. 1, 2008, and Mar. 31, 2016, in Alberta, we investigated the variation in national quality indicators of atrial fibrillation care developed by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Specifically, we assessed the geographic and temporal variation in the proportion of patients with initiation of oral anticoagulant therapy, persistence with therapy, ische...
