Thromboembolic events related to atrial fibrillation during the COVID-19 epidemic in Denmark
The COVID-19 epidemic has threatened to overwhelm the health-care systems of European countries resulting in government decisions of extensive societal lockdowns. There have been considerable concerns regarding the collateral effects of the COVID-19 epidemic overshadowing the care of patients with other medical conditions including cardiovascular diseases. Of interest, decreases in the registered incidences of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke have been reported [1,2]. AF is a common reason for physician contact and AF patients are often recommended treatment with oral anticoagulants to mitigate the associated r...

Effect of intermittent pneumatic compression on disability, living circumstances, quality of life, and hospital costs after stroke: secondary analyses from CLOTS 3, a randomised trial
Publication date: December 2014 Source:The Lancet Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 12 Background The results of the CLOTS 3 trial showed that intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) reduced the risk of deep vein thrombosis and improved survival in immobile patients with stroke. IPC is now being widely used in stroke units. Here we describe the disability, living circumstances, quality of life, and hospital costs of patients in CLOTS 3. Methods In CLOTS 3, a parallel group trial in 94 UK hospitals, immobile patients with stroke from days 0 to 3 of admission were assigned with a computer-generated allocation sequence in a 1:1 r...
