Noncommunicable disease incidences in 2012-2017, Turkey
ConclusionsRegardless of the difficulties in comparing incidence of NCD with other countries, we think our results show that hypertension, diabetes, stroke and CHD have higher incidence than Western European countries. We also showed that these metrics can be obtained through data linkage of National Health Records for the first time in Turkey.Key messagesThe NCDs needs to be monitored by surveillance using the current data sources for health services.This data can provide very useful information regularly to monitor and control NCDs if necessary actions are taken to adjust data management.

Effectiveness and safety of oral anticoagulants for non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a population-based cohort study in primary healthcare in Catalonia
Conclusion: Being men, a previous event and DOAC-switch posed a higher risk for all study outcomes. direct oral anticoagulants had a protective effect against cerebral bleeding in comparison to vitamin K antagonists. Adherence to direct oral anticoagulants resulted in lower risk of stroke and cerebral bleeding. We found no differences in the risk of stroke and gastrointestinal bleeding when we compared direct oral anticoagulants vs. vitamin K antagonists.

Dabigatran and vitamin K antagonists ’ use in naïve patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a cross-sectional study of primary care-based electronic health records
ConclusionsMost patients recently diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation initiated treatment with VKA. Primary healthcare patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation initiating dabigatran are younger, had a lower risk of stroke or bleeding, fewer comorbidity and more history of stroke and intracranial haemorrhage compared to those who were initiated on VKA.

Comparative Outcomes Between Direct Oral Anticoagulants, Warfarin, and Antiplatelet Monotherapy Among Chinese Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Population-Based Cohort Study
ConclusionAntiplatelet prescribing and suboptimal warfarin management remain common in Chinese patients with AF at high risk of stroke. DOAC use may be associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke and all-cause mortality when compared with antiplatelets and with a lower risk of ICH when compared with warfarin.

Atrial fibrillation and oral anticoagulation in older people with frailty: a nationwide primary care electronic health records cohort study
ConclusionAmong older people in England, AF and stroke risk increased with increasing degree of frailty; however, OAC prescription approximated 50%. Given competing demands of mortality, morbidity and stroke prevention, greater attention to stratified stroke prevention is needed for this group of the population.

Long-term exposure to ozone and cardiovascular mortality in a large Chinese cohort
CONCLUSIONS: We observed the association between long-term exposure to high O3 concentrations and cause-specific CVD mortality in China, independent of PM2.5 and other CVD risk factors. This suggested an urgent need to control O3 pollution, especially in developing countries.PMID:35605364 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2022.107280

How Does Cardiovascular Disease First Present in Women and Men? Incidence of 12 Cardiovascular Diseases in a Contemporary Cohort of 1,937,360 People.
CONCLUSIONS: -The majority of initial presentations of CVD are neither MI nor ischemic stroke, yet most primary prevention studies focus on these presentations. Sex has differing associations with different CVDs, with implications for risk prediction and management strategies. Clinical Trial Registration Information-www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Effectiveness, safety and costs of thromboembolic prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: phase I ESC-FA protocol study and baseline characteristics of a cohort from a primary care electronic database
Purpose Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia. Its management aims to reduce symptoms and to prevent complications through rate and rhythm control, management of concomitant cardiac diseases and prevention of related complications, mainly stroke. The main objective of Effectiveness, Safety and Costs in Atrial Fibrillation (ESC-FA) study is to analyse the drugs used for the management of the disease in real-use conditions, particularly the antithrombotic agents for stroke prevention. The aim of this work is to present the study protocol of phase I of the ESC-FA study and the baseline characteristics of newly dia...

Use of electronic healthcare records to identify complex patients with atrial fibrillation for targeted intervention
Discussion: We developed and tested a set of algorithms to identify AF patients and known risk factors for stroke and major bleeding using EHR data. Algorithms such as these can be built into EHR systems to facilitate informed decision making and help shift population health management efforts towards patients with the greatest need.

'Fat but fit' still at higher risk of heart disease
Conclusion The question of whether someone can be "fat but fit" has been much debated. If you're obese but exercise, eat well and don't have metabolic risk factors, the theory goes, you could be just as healthy as someone of recommended weight. This study suggests that may not be true. It is definitely worth adopting a healthy lifestyle, whatever your weight. The study found that, the more metabolic risk factors people had, the more likely they were to develop heart disease, cardiovascular disease and so on. Metabolic risk factors do make a difference. But in this large study, on average, people who were obese ...

Risks and Benefits of Direct Oral Anticoagulants across the Spectrum of GFR among Incident and Prevalent Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: In a large health care system, patients with eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 who took direct oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation had slightly higher risk of bleeding compared with those on warfarin, but similar benefits from prevention of ischemic stroke.

Risk factors and treatment of oxygenator high-pressure excursions during cardiopulmonary bypass
CONCLUSIONS: Large body surface area, high hematocrit during CPB, previous stroke and acute surgery were independently associated with HPE. A treatment protocol including epoprostenol appears to be a safe option. Perioperative stroke rate was increased in HPE patients.PMID:34510993 | DOI:10.1177/02676591211043700
