A clinical decision instrument to predict 30-day death & amp; cardiovascular hospitalizations following an emergency department visit for atrial fibrillation: The atrial fibrillation in the emergency room, part 2 (AFTER2) study
Conclusions Using a population-based sample, we derived and validated a tool that predicts the risk of early death and re-hospitalization for a cardiovascular reason in emergency department AF patients. The tool can offer information to managing physicians about the risk of death and re-hospitalization AF patients seen in the in emergency department, as well as identify patient groups for future targeted interventions aimed at preventing these outcomes.

Summary: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusions:  Ideal ischemia time is 20-25 minutes or less improves short and long term renal function. >25 minutes carried 5 year risk of new onset stage 4 CKD No differences on GFR for cold vs. warm ischemia times Preoperative GFR and the percent of kidney preserved was a better predictor of post op GFR.  No ischemia preserves renal function better than warm. Longer cold ischemia times were equivalent to shorter warm ischemia times. Quality and quantity of the remaining kidney is associated with ultimate renal function.

Outcomes of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in hospitalized cancer patients
ConclusionsOutcomes are significantly worse in patients with TCM and malignancy. Hence, this patient population must be regarded as high-risk and early diagnostic consideration for TCM is warranted. Early intervention may help lower mortality, decrease resource utilization and reduce the health care costs in these patients.

Association of early loss of primary functional patency of arteriovenous access with mortality in incident hemodialysis patients: A nationwide population-based observational study
The long-term survival and life quality of hemodialysis (HD) patients depend on adequacy of dialysis via a well-functioning vascular access. Loss of primary functional patency (PFP) of an arteriovenous access (AVA) eventually happens in HD patients. The association between time to loss of PFP of AVAs and mortality in HD patients remains unclear. The retrospective nationwide population-based cohort study compared the hazards of mortality with time to loss of PFP. We enrolled 1618 adult incident HD patients who received HD via AVAs for at least 90 days between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2013. They were divided into ear...

Real-world retrospective cohort study ARCTIC shows burden of comorbidities in Swedish COPD versus non-COPD patients.
This study aimed to generate real-world evidence to assess the burden of comorbidities in COPD patients, to effectively manage these patients and optimize the associated healthcare resource allocation. ARCTIC is a large, real-world, retrospective cohort study conducted in Swedish COPD patients using electronic medical record data collected between 2000 and 2014. These patients were studied for prevalence of various comorbidities and for association of these comorbidities with exacerbations, mortality, and healthcare costs compared with an age-, sex-, and comorbidities-matched non-COPD reference population. A total of 17,47...

Burden of Hospital Readmissions for Venous Thromboembolism Among Patients with Cancer
Conclusions: In this real-world study, many patients hospitalized for cancer experienced a VTE event requiring re-hospitalization, which was the highest proportion of readmitted patients among acute medical illnesses analyzed in this study, with almost 30% readmitted within 30 days of post-discharge. Total costs of readmissions were substantial, as high as $41K for resubmissions due to primary diagnosis of DVT/PE. Improvement in VTE prophylaxis for patients with cancer may reduce the risk and frequency of VTE, and thus hospital readmissions, reducing the clinical and economic burden of VTE in this patient population.Sponso...

Changing Incidence of Major Cardiovascular Events in Multiple Myeloma Patients over Time
Conclusion: CVD is a common complication in MM patients: within 5 years of a MM diagnosis, over 25% develop CVD requiring hospitalization. Contrary to our hypothesis, we did not find increased CVD admissions in the most recent era. Decreased admissions due to CHF and CAD in the most recent era of diagnosis may indicate a greater awareness of this issue, routine thromboprophylaxis with anti-platelet agents in patients being treated with immunomodulatory agents, or changes in secular trends in the diagnosis and treatment of CVD. CVD is an ongoing source of morbidity for MM patients requiring further study and the vigilance o...

Too Much Sleep Linked To Greater Risk Of Disease & Death, Study Finds
(CNN) — The recommended amount of sleep for adults is six to eight hours a night. Sleeping more than those hours is associated with an increased risk of death and cardiovascular diseases, says a global study published Wednesday in the European Heart Journal. Looking at data from 21 countries, across seven regions, the research team found that people sleeping more than the recommended upper limit of eight hours increased their risk of major cardiovascular events, like stroke or heart failure, as well as death by up to 41%. But a possible reason for this could be that people have underlying conditions causing them to s...

Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis and Risk in the Inpatient and Outpatient Continuum of Care Among Hospitalized Acutely Ill Patients in the US: A Retrospective Analysis
ConclusionIn this retrospective analysis of nearly 18,000 patients hospitalized for acute illnesses, 59.1% did not receive any VTE prophylaxis and only 7.1% received VTE prophylaxis in both the inpatient and outpatient continuum of care, despite significant VTE risk extending from hospitalization into the post-discharge period.FundingPortola Pharmaceuticals.

Looking Past Dementia Reveals Hidden Life Threats
Conclusion Acute delirium is commonly underdiagnosed, and can be masked by chronic alterations in cognition and mentation. Delirium has many causes, and can be assessed using the acronym DELIRIUM. The most common presentations suggesting delirium over dementia are short-term memory loss, rapid fluctuation in condition, acute alteration, and a condition present that may be responsible for delirium. Management includes searching for causes of acute alteration in mental status, negating environmental factors of delirium, and—only when necessary—reducing the patient’s threat to themselves or providers by using butyrophen...

Nearly Half of U.S. Adults have Heart or Blood Vessel Disease
A new report estimates that nearly half of all U.S. adults have some form of heart or blood vessel disease, a medical milestone that's mostly due to recent guidelines that expanded how many people have high blood pressure. The American Heart Association said Thursday that more than 121 million adults had cardiovascular disease in 2016. Taking out those with only high blood pressure leaves 24 million, or 9 percent of adults, who have other forms of disease such as heart failure or clogged arteries. Measuring the burden of diseases shows areas that need to improve, the heart association's chief science and medical officer, D...
