Major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in people with diabetes treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists vs SGLT2 inhibitors
Conclusions/interpretationIn people with diabetes, GLP1RA use was associated with significantly reduced risks of MALE compared with SGLT2i within the first 2 years after initiation, especially among people with diabetic neuropathy.Graphical abstract

Comparative effectiveness and safety of different combinations of antithrombotic regimens in atrial fibrillation patients with stent insertions
This study aims to compare the risks of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack, and major bleeding across different antithrombotic regimens in Asian atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with stent insertions. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database and National Mortality Registry. A total of 10,208 nonvalvular AF patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stents for the first time in 2007-2017 were identified. Most patients (68.4%) were p...

The Impact of Urate-Lowering Therapy in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients: Insights from a Population-Based, Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2021 Oct 31. doi: 10.1002/cpt.2473. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events has been widely discussed, but its evidence for the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) is limited. Therefore, we conduct a population-based, propensity score-matched cohort study to investigate the cardiovascular outcomes among post-MI patients with and without ULT. A total of 19,042 newly diagnosed in-hospital MI patients were selected using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2016...

Major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in patients with diabetes treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists vs DPP-4 inhibitors
Conclusions/interpretationIn individuals with diabetes, the use of GLP1RAs was associated with significantly lower risks of major adverse limb events when compared with the use of DPP4is. The reduction in risk was driven largely by reduced rate of amputations. Moreover, treatment with GLP1RAs was also associated with lower risks of cardiovascular death, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction and death from any cause. However, some unexplored confounding factors may exist in this observation study and future large-scale randomised controlled trials are needed.Graphical abstract

All-cause mortality and the risk of stroke with selective aspiration thrombectomy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: A nationwide retrospective cohort study
Few data exist on the clinical outcomes of selective aspiration thrombectomy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). This was a nationwide retrospective cohort study. Patients who were diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from July 2009 to December 2011 were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. Propensity score weighting was used to balance the covariates between the 2 study groups. The primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and stroke during hospitalization and at 30 days and 1 ye...

Duration of Clopidogrel-Based Dual Antiplatelet Therapy and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention  - A Real-World Observation in Taiwan From 2012 to 2015.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed that short duration of DAPT (≤9 months) was common (42.1%) in Taiwan for ACS patients undergoing PCI. DAPT ≤9 months increased the risk of the primary outcome. PMID: 31061379 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Long-Term Clinical Outcome of Drug-Eluting vs. Bare-Metal Stent Implantation After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients on Hemodialysis  - Nationwide Cohort Study in Taiwan.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients on chronic hemodialysis, implantation of DES did not have a better clinical outcome than BMS. PMID: 31019157 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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...

Women were noninferior to men in cardiovascular outcomes among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full-spectrum registry
This study was conducted to compare the survival rate and the influencing factors between women and men following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A national-wide Acute Coronary Syndrome Full Spectrum Registry conducted by the Taiwan Society of Cardiology was used for data collection between October 2008 and January 2010. Details of 1621 patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI, including 1350 (83%) men and 271 (17%) women, were collected. Composite outcomes included all-cause death, myocardial reinfarction, and an ischemic stroke. Demographic da...

Impact of type D personality on clinical outcomes in Asian patients with stable coronary artery disease
ConclusionType D personality was an independent predictor of CV outcomes in an Asian cohort of stable CAD patients. This personality type may be identified in risk stratification for secondary prevention after PCI.
