Administrative claims data to support pragmatic clinical trial outcome ascertainment on cardiovascular health.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the value of supplementing longitudinal site-based clinical studies with administrative claims data. Our results suggest that claims data together with network partner electronic health record data constitute an effective vehicle to capture patient outcomes since >30% of patients have non-fatal and fatal events outside of enrolling sites.

Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients hospitalized for non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and the risk of postdischarge ischemic stroke at 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year follow-ups
This study investigated the association of PCI on the risk of postdischarge IS in patients hospitalized for NSTEMI at different period follow-ups. A population-based cohort study was conducted using data from Taiwan ’s National Health Insurance Research Database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to select 6079 pairs of the patients with NSTEMI treated invasively by PCI (received PCI during hospitalization) and initial conservative strategy (did not receive PCI during hospitalization) with similar base line characteristics for evaluation. After adjustment for patients’ clinical variables and the duration of dual...

Long-Term Follow-up in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Treated With or Without Surgical Intervention: a Large-Scale Retrospective Study
AbstractDebates regarding the most beneficial medical or surgical procedures for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) are still ongoing. We aimed to evaluate the risk of subsequent vascular disease and mortality in patients with sICH treated with and without surgical intervention, in a large-scale Asian population. Patients hospitalized within 2000 to 2013 who were newly diagnosed with sICH were identified using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Neuroendoscopy and craniotomy groups comprised patients who underwent surgical treatment within 1 week, while those in the control g...

One-year clinical outcomes of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction: From Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Data.
CONCLUSIONS: Among patients aged younger than 75 years, ticagrelor was associated with lower incidence of all-cause mortality. Stroke risk was also reduced in patients with a prescription for ticagrelor without an increase in bleeding risk.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children and Adolescents and the Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events: A Nationwide Cohort Study in Taiwan
Conclusions:This study found a significantly higher risk of MACEs in children and adolescents with OSA. These findings strongly suggest that clinicians should provide careful follow-up and medical treatment for children and adolescents with OSA.Citation:Tzeng NS, Chung CH, Chang HA, Chang CC, Lu RB, Yeh HW, Chiang WS, Kao YC, Chang SY, Chien WC.

Risk of subsequent health disorders among living kidney donors
Few studies have investigated the risk of physiological sequelae in living kidney donors (KDs). We conducted a population-based cohort study using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, which covers more than 99% of citizens.
We comprehensively investigated the risk of medical disorders after kidney donation in living KDs using a maximum follow-up of 13 years. From January 1997 to December 2010, 1081 living KDs and 1082 age- and sex-matched non-KDs were eligible. Primary outcomes comprised end-stage renal disease, chronic kidney disease, stroke, cancer, acute myocardial infarction, acute renal failure ...

Association between urban green space and the risk of cardiovascular disease: A longitudinal study in seven Korean metropolitan areas.
CONCLUSION: Residing in urban regions with greater green space coverage may lead to a reduced risk of CVD. Urban planning intervention policies that increase urban green space coverage could help to reduce the risk of CVD.

Cardiovascular risk of sitagliptin in ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease: A nationwide cohort study
Limited data are available about the cardiovascular (CV) safety and efficacy of sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, in ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Ischemic stroke patients with T2DM and CKD were selected from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from March 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011. A total of 1375 patients were divided into 2 age- and gender-matched groups: patients who received sitagliptin (n = 275; 20%) and those who did not (n = 1,100). Primary major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (M...

Comparative Effectiveness of Combination Therapy with Statins and Angiotensin ‐Converting Enzyme Inhibitors versus Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease: A Nationwide Population‐Based Cohort Study in Korea
ConclusionA MACCE was less likely to occur in patients who received a statin ‐ARB than in those who received a statin‐ACEI. Similar trends were seen in cardiovascular mortality and the occurrence of recurrent MI but not stroke. The availability of statin‐ARB fixed‐dose combinations may have contributed to the improved outcomes in the statin‐ARB cohort by reducing p ill burden and improving medication adherence. Further research is warranted to validate our findings and to address whether a particular statin‐ARB combination is more effective than other combinations.

Effect of atrial fibrillation in Asian patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents for stable coronary artery disease: Results from a Korean nationwide study
Although the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are increasing in Asia, there is a paucity of data concerning the effect of AF in Asian patients undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents (DESs). Furthermore, the majority of previous studies investigating the effect of AF on prognosis following PCI have exclusively evaluated patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed to evaluate the effect of AF on clinical outcomes of Asian patients undergoing PCI with DES for coronary artery disease (CAD) excluding acute MI.
From national health insurance claims data in South Korea, ...

Susceptible period for cardiovascular complications in patients recovering from sepsis.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications while recovering from sepsis. We aimed to study the temporal change and susceptible periods for cardiovascular complications in patients recovering from sepsis by using a national database.
METHODS: In this retrospective population-based cohort study, patients with sepsis were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. We estimated the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke following sepsis by comparing a sepsis cohort to a matched population and hospital control cohort. The primary outco...
