Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Korean Congenital Heart Disease Patients: A Nationwide Age- and Sex-Matched Case-Control Study
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this nationwide study demonstrates that Korean patients with CHD have a high incidence of comorbidities, vascular events, and mortality. CHD has been established as an important predictor of cardiovascular events. Further studies are warranted to identify high-risk patients with CHD and related factors to prevent vascular events.PMID:36444542 | DOI:10.3349/ymj.2022.0111

Trends in the Longitudinal Utilization of Oral Anticoagulants Among Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid Insurance
Long-term oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended for stroke prevention for most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and elevated stroke risk.1 While trends in initiation of OAC have been described,2,3 long-term trends in utilization of OAC in patients continuously followed for AF have not been adequately explored. Some healthcare systems adapted anticoagulation services to respond to disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.4 We thus investigated how OACs were utilized in patients with newly diagnosed AF from 2018 to 2021 across 3 insurance types: Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial.

Patient-Centered Medical Homes and Oral Anticoagulation Therapy Initiation
Despite evidence-based guidelines, oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) initiation is low among incident atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) may increase access, quality, and value through coordinating care. As such, PCMHs hold potential for improving OAT initiation among AF patients. We estimated the effect of receiving care in accredited PCMHs on OAT initiation for incident AF patients compared with those not receiving care in accredited PCMHs. Our study, a retrospective cohort new user design, included privately insured patients in North Carolina during years 2006 to 2010. We develope...

Newly diagnosed gastroesophageal reflux disease increased the risk of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during the first year following diagnosis – a nationwide population‐based cohort study
ConclusionThis study demonstrated that GERD is an independent risk factor for AECOPD. Caution should be exercised when assessing GERD symptoms in patients with COPD.

Health care burden of dyspepsia among nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients.
CONCLUSIONS: NVAF patients with dyspepsia experienced more all-cause hospitalizations and required more outpatient medical services, all associated with greater expenditures than NVAF patients without dyspepsia. Additionally, dyspepsia may be a barrier to warfarin use among NVAF patients. PMID: 24684644 [PubMed - in process]

Predictors of Gastrointestinal Bleeding Among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation After Initiating Dabigatran Therapy
ConclusionThe risk of GI bleeding in patients receiving dabigatran is highly associated with increased age and cardiovascular, renal, and other comorbidities, even after adjusting for other factors. Fewer than 50% of patients restarted an anticoagulant after experiencing a GI bleed. Clinicians should continue to monitor for these risk factors or consider whether alternative therapies may be appropriate.
