What Sub-Saharan African Nations Can Teach the U.S. About Black Maternal Health
While poor maternal outcomes among Black women in the U.S. is not new, improving it is imperative. U.S. policymakers can look to sub-Saharan Africa for guidance on reversing this trend. Credit: Ernest Ankomah/IPSBy Ifeanyi NsoforABUJA, Jun 2 2023 (IPS) New research shows that Black mothers in the United States disproportionately live in counties with higher maternal vulnerability and face greater risk of preterm death for the fetus, greater risk of low birth weight for a baby, and a higher number of maternal deaths.

CO8 Design and Rationale of a Global Prospective Observational Study of Real-World Management of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation at High Risk of Stroke- Gardenia
Anticoagulants reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, due to various causes, including concerns for bleeding, there is treatment variability, including undertreatment or non-treatment, especially in patients with high bleeding risk. The aim of the GARDENIA registry is threefold, 1) to understand the real-world usage of oral anticoagulants (OAC) in patients with AF and elevated risk of bleeding, 2) to evaluate the factors associated with treatment or non-treatment with OACs and adherence to guideline recommended doses of OACs and 3) to determine the incidence of clinical outcomes in th...

Factors Associated with Anticoagulation Initiation for New Atrial Fibrillation in an Urban Emergency Department
CONCLUSION: More than half of ED patients with new AF eligible for AC were initiated on it. Work to improve AC utilization among patients with new AF who left AMA from ED and those who prefer to communicate in a non-English language may be warranted.PMID:36388863 | PMC:PMC9590604 | DOI:10.18865/ed.32.4.325
