Finding tech passion in an unlikely place
With many gains in health information technology over the past decade, newly appointed National Coordinator for Health IT Vindell Washington, MD, took time at Health 2.0 last week to describe his first experience with health technology, what it means for the health care community and new tools for physicians and entrepreneurs. Dr. Washington found his passion for health care technology as a captain in the U.S. Army. He was stationed in Haiti leading the emergency department in the 28th combat support hospital when a patient presented with “a fever, a rash, a really unusual constellation of symptoms,” he said. Unable ...

Hypoglycaemia seriousness and weight gain as determinants of cardiovascular disease outcomes among sulfonylurea users
ConclusionsThis study provides evidence of increased CVD risk associated with hypoglycaemia, especially serious hypoglycaemia events. While associations were attenuated with non‐serious hypoglycaemia, the results were suggestive of a potential increased risk.

Factors Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease and Their Clinical Utility in Primary Care Clinics in a Multi-Ethnic Southeast Asian Population
Conclusions: CKD prevalence in our Southeast Asian population is high and under-documented even in high-risk patients. Our findings highlight factors associated with CKD, and the predictive value of hypertension, diabetes, and advancing age as EHR-based screening targets for CKD. Our results also suggest that complementary educational efforts will be needed to increase physician detection and optimize the management of CKD, especially in high risk and marginalized groups across all clinics in Singapore, and possibly in the region.Nephron

A Novel Deep Neural Network Model for Multi-Label Chronic Disease Prediction
Conclusions concludes this work along with future work. Dataset and Data Preprocessing In the work, we mainly focus on multiple chronic disease classification. It can be formulated into a multi-label classification problem. There are three common chronic diseases are selected from the physical examination records: hypertension (H), diabetes (D), and fatty liver (FL). In the experiments, the physical examination datasets are collected from a local medical center, which contain 110,300 physical examination records from about 80,000 anonymous patients (Li et al., 2017a,b). Sixty-two feature items are selected from over 100...

More Research Is Needed on Lifestyle Behaviors That Influence Progression of Parkinson's Disease
This article highlights some of these challenges in the design of lifestyle studies in PD, and suggests a more coordinated international effort is required, including ongoing longitudinal observational studies. In combination with pharmaceutical treatments, healthy lifestyle behaviors may slow the progression of PD, empower patients, and reduce disease burden. For optimal care of people with PD, it is important to close this gap in current knowledge and discover whether such associations exist. Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related complex progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with key p...

Association of APOL1 Risk Alleles with Cardiovascular Disease in African Americans in the Million Veteran Program.
CONCLUSIONS: APOL1 risk variants display a modest association with cardiovascular disease and this association is likely mediated by the known APOL1 association with CKD. PMID: 31337231 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The use and adherence of oral anticoagulants in Primary Health Care in Catalunya, Spain: A real-world data cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: Acenocoumarol was the most frequently prescribed OAC as first therapy in NVAF patients. Non-naive to DOAC showed better persistence than naive. Rivaroxaban showed higher proportion of adherent patients during the implementation phase than apixaban and dabigatran the lowest. PMID: 32788057 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictors of mortality for patients with COVID-19 and large vessel occlusion.
CONCLUSION: Patients with COVID-19 and ELVO had a significantly higher risk for mortality compared to COVID-19 negative patients with ELVO. A small percentage of COVID-19 ELVO patients had good outcomes. Age greater than 60 and pulmonary symptoms at presentation have higher risk for mortality. Other risk factors for mortality were a history of cigarette smoking, elevated, failure to recanalize, elevated d-dimer and ferritin levels. PMID: 32862753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

One-Third of COVID-19 Survivors May Develop a Neuropsychiatric Disorder Within Months of Infection
One-third of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 developed a psychiatric or neurological problem within six months of their diagnosis, according to astudy published Tuesday inThe Lancet Psychiatry. The prevalence of a post-COVID neurologic or psychiatric diagnosis was even greater among individuals with severe illness who had required hospitalization.“Given the size of the pandemic and the chronicity of many of the diagnoses and their consequences (for example, dementia, stroke, and intracranial hemorrhage), substantial effects on health and social care systems are likely to occur,” wrote Maxime Taque, Ph.D., of the Un...

Cut-off values for anthropometric indices in predicting morbidity and mortality in Turkey: a cohort
ConclusionsThis cohort study in Turkey showed that having higher anthropometric measurements is mostly associated with higher CHD incidence and mostly lower mortality among older men. This association deserves further studies.Key messagesIn Turkey, higher anthropometric measurements are associated with higher coronary heart disease incidence in among participants.In Turkey, higher anthropometric measurements are mostly associated with lower all-cause mortality in older age-groups.

Using electronic health records to develop and validate a machine-learning tool to predict type 2 diabetes outcomes: a study protocol
Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, myocardial infarction, stroke and lower limb amputation. We are still unable, however, to accurately predict or identify which patients are at a higher risk of deterioration. Most risk stratification tools do not account for novel factors such as sociodemographic determinants, self-management ability or access to healthcare. Additionally, most tools are based in clinical trials, with limited external generalisability. Objective The aim of this work is to design and validate a machine learning-based tool to identify patients with T2...
