The PAr index, an indicator reflecting altered vitamin B-6 homeostasis, is associated with long-term risk of stroke in the general population: the Hordaland Health Study (HUSK).
Conclusions: Higher plasma PAr was independently associated with increased risk of incident stroke in all participants and across all subgroups stratified by conventional risk predictors. Our novel findings point to and expand the range of inflammation and immune activation processes that may be relevant for the pathogenesis and prevention of stroke. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03013725. PMID: 29381795 [PubMed - in process]

Pharmacy-dispensed drugs for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Secondary prophylactic drugs are important for avoiding further cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction. We have examined whether patients collect these drugs from pharmacies and whether there are differences in survival between those who collect versus do not collect the drugs. MATERIAL AND METHOD: All patients <80 years registered in the Norwegian Myocardial Infarction Registry in 2013-16 were included in the study. The Norwegian Prescription Database was used to determine whether patients collected their prescriptions from pharmacies. RESULTS: During the study period,...
