Top 20 Research Studies of 2022 for Primary Care Physicians
This article summarizes the top 20 research studies of 2022 identified as POEMs (patient-oriented evidence that matters), excluding COVID-19. Statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease produce only a small absolute reduction in a person's likelihood of dying (0.6%), having a myocardial infarction (0.7%), or having a stroke (0.3%) over three to six years. Supplemental vitamin D does not reduce the risk of a fragility fracture, even in people with low baseline vitamin D levels or a previous fracture. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are preferred medical therapy for panic disorder, and patients who disco...

Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin Across the Spectrum of Kidney Function: Patient-Level Network Meta-Analyses From COMBINE AF
CONCLUSIONS: Standard-dose DOACs are safer and more effective than warfarin down to a CrCl of at least 25 mL/min. Lower-dose DOACs do not significantly lower the incidence of bleeding or ICH compared with standard-dose DOACs but are associated with a higher incidence of S/SE and death. These findings support the use of standard-dose DOACs over warfarin in patients with kidney dysfunction.PMID:37042255 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.062752

Factors influencing left ventricular thrombus resolution and its significance on clinical outcomes
ConclusionsThis study suggests that LVT resolution is an important predictor for favourable clinical outcomes. LVEF improvement failure interfered with LVT resolution and appeared to be a crucial factor for LVT recurrence. After LVT resolution, continuation of anticoagulation did not seem to impact LVT recurrence and the prognosis.

Severe Bleeding Risk of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Vitamin K Antagonists for Stroke Prevention and Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
ConclusionBased on current evidence, for stroke prevention and treatment in patients with AF, the most safe DOAC is edoxaban in terms of fatal bleeding; dabigatran in terms of major bleeding and intracranial hemorrhage and apixaban in terms of gastrointestinal bleeding. However, given the nature of indirect comparisons, more high-quality evidence from head-to-head comparisons is still needed to confirm them.

Is There a Role for Vitamin K Antagonist in the Management of Atrial Fibrillation in 2023?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo address the following question: Are vitamin K antagonists (VKA) obsolete as stroke prevention therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolic risk factors?Recent FindingsA patient-level meta-analysis of the pivotal phase III randomized trials confirmed the favorable treatment effect of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) over VKA in multiple key patient subgroups. Among patients with AF and rheumatic heart disease (85% of whom had mitral stenosis), a randomized trial showed that rivaroxaban was not superior to VKA for stroke prevention. Caution should be exercised when prescr...

Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation and Other Atrial Dysrhythmias
AbstractPurpose of ReviewAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for systemic embolism and ischaemic stroke. Furthermore, AF-related strokes are associated with higher mortality, greater disability, longer hospital stays and lower rates of hospital discharge than strokes caused by other reasons. The aim of this review to summarise the existing evidence on the association of AF with ischemic stroke and provide insights on the pathophysiological mechanisms and the clinical management of patients with AF in order to reduce the burden of ischemic stroke.Recent FindingsBeyond Virchow ’s triad, several pathophysiologic...
