Two-year outcomes of UK patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation: findings from the prospective observational cohort study GARFIELD-AF
CONCLUSION: The data support a benefit of anticoagulation in reducing stroke and death, without an increased risk of a major bleed in patients with new-onset AF. Anticoagulation treatment in patients at high risk of stroke who are not receiving anticoagulation may further improve outcomes.PMID:35577587 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2021.0548

Effectiveness and safety of apixaban vs. rivaroxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation and type 2 diabetes mellitus
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with NVAF and T2DM, apixaban was associated with a similar risk of stroke, and a lower risk of major bleeding compared with rivaroxaban.PMID:35292949 | DOI:10.1055/a-1798-2116

P-030 Mechanical thrombectomy in medium vessel occlusions using the novel aspiration MIVI Q catheters: an international multicenter experience
ConclusionsTreatment of MeVO patients with Q catheters resulted in optimal angiographic and clinical outcomes. Though angiographic results were similar between primary and secondary MeVOs, the first had less severe presentation and better outcomes at 90-days than the latter.Disclosures A. Monteiro: None. L.

Current trends in the use of anticoagulant pharmacotherapy in the United Kingdom? Are changes on the horizon?
Authors: Kotalczyk A, Gue YX, Potpara TS, Lip GYH Abstract INTRODUCTION: Effective stroke prevention with oral anticoagulation (OAC) reduces the risk of stroke and death among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). For most patients with AF, treatment options include vitamin K antagonists (VKA) or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs). NOACs have been introduced as an alternative to VKAs, and their use has been steadily increasing in the United Kingdom and Europe over a decade. In randomised clinical trials, NOACs had a favourable risk-benefit profile as compared to warfarin. However, there is a con...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in the UK: Temporal Trends, Predictors of Outcome and 6 Year Follow Up: A Report from the UK TAVI Registry 2007 to 2012.
CONCLUSIONS: -We analysed TAVI in an entire country, with follow up over 6 years. Although clinical profiles of enrolled patients remained unchanged, longer term outcomes improved, and patients were discharged earlier. Peri-procedural stroke, non-femoral access and post-procedure aortic regurgitation are predictors of adverse outcome, along with intrinsic patient risk factors.

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion using different technologies in the United Kingdom: A multicenter registry
ConclusionsLAAO can be performed safely in a real world setting with good implant success rates and procedural outcomes. The long‐term benefits of the procedure are reassuring in terms of both ischemic events and avoidance of severe bleeding associated with anticoagulation in this patient group. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Oral Anticoagulants in German nursing home residents – Drug use patterns and predictors for treatment choice
ConclusionsNOACs are increasingly used in German nursing homes, both for initial anticoagulation but also in VKA pre‐treated patients. Switching from VKA to NOAC was substantially influenced by aspects such as intended higher effectiveness and safety but probably also practicability due to less blood monitoring.

Making AI Matter in Healthcare
Healthcare is just as prone to fall victim to hype and irrational exuberance as any other complex industry. And the more revolutionary the promise, the more outrageous the overstatements could be. Artificial intelligence has certainly been one of those "next big things" for some time in healthcare. Whether branded as "big data and analytics" or "automated clinical decision support," the results of technology-assisted care, especially in non-clinical and non-emergent settings, have been uneven at best. But a new report indicates AI's time in healthcare is nigh, and technology and policy pioneers are doing their best to ensu...
