Evolution of non-fatal burden estimates for cardiovascular disease in Australia: a comparison of national and state-wide methodology of burden of disease
ConclusionsPrevalence estimates require the best available data sources, updated disease models and constant review to inform government policy and health reform. Availability of nation-wide linked data will markedly improve future burden estimates.PMID:36395787 | DOI:10.1071/AH22149

Costs of major complications in people with and without diabetes in Tasmania, Australia
ConclusionsDiabetes complications are costly, and the costs are higher in people with diabetes than without diabetes. Our results can be used to populate diabetes simulation models and will support policy analyses to reduce the burden of diabetes.PMID:36375176 | DOI:10.1071/AH22180

Hospital Closures Pose Challenges to Care
Empty beds in a hospital room. When 10-bed Nye Regional Medical Center, in west-central Nevada, closed abruptly in 2015, it meant that the residents of the former gold-mining town of Tonopah would have to drive about two hours across a hundred miles of desert roads to get to the nearest hospital.  The hospital’s CEO, Wayne Allen, didn’t sugar-coat it. “This is a decision that will ultimately jeopardize the health and well-being of our community and surrounding areas,” he said. Hospital closures over the last decade—most notably in rural areas and in pediatrics, but urban closures as well—have left patients wi...

Sodium-containing Acetaminophen Intake Increases the Risk of CVD and All-cause Mortality
Dr. Hoque Clinical question: Does the use of sodium-containing acetaminophen increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in patients with and without a history of hypertension when compared to non-sodium-containing acetaminophen? Background: There is a common misconception that excess sodium intake comes primarily from dietary sources. The excipients of common over-the-counter medications such as some formulations of acetaminophen may contain significant amounts of sodium. For example, a 500-mg dose of soluble acetaminophen contains 390 mg of sodium, and a 500-mg dose of effervescent acetamin...

Sean Bretz reflects on overcoming stroke, becoming a dad
Sean Bretz remembers little from the day he had a stroke in 2011. "One morning, I woke up, and that was it," says Sean. "I just hit the floor and had no idea what happened." He was 23 years old and serving in the Coast Guard in Jacksonville, Florida, at the time. Sean was taken to nearby Mayo Clinic, where doctors found a blood vessel on the surface of his brain had burst, causing blood…

There is a Decreased Risk of Hospitalization from Heart Failure in Type II Diabetics Initiated on a SGLT2 Inhibitor When Compared to a GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Dr. Huang Clinical question: Determine the cardiovascular risk outcome in type II diabetic patients initiated on an sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2)  inhibitor versus a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Background: Various studies have suggested that several SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve cardiac outcomes—myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, and cardiovascular death. Current guidelines recommend using either an SGLT2 inhibitor or GLP-1 receptor agonist for patients with type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, there has been no st...

Tranexamic acid minimized perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery
Dr. Menon Clinical question: Does tranexamic acid reduce the incidence of life-threatening perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery without increasing the risk of major cardiovascular adverse events? Background: Large surgical trials have shown that tranexamic acid reduces the incidence and severity of perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing a cesarean section or cardiac surgery. Other, smaller trials have suggested similar findings with tranexamic acid in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery as well. But, there are limited data on the use of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing non-ortho...

DES reduce the risk of ISR in patients with ICAS compared to BMS
Dr. Snipe Clinical question: In patients with symptomatic high-grade intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), does the use of a drug-eluting stent (DES) reduce the incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and stroke recurrence compared to using a bare-metal stent (BMS)? Background: ICAS is a common cause of stroke in North America (accounting for 8-10% of strokes) and is even more common in Asia (accounting for 30-50% of strokes). In previous trials, aggressive medical management was found to be the superior first-line treatment, but intracranial stenting is growing in popularity and safety. DES is known to reduce ISR ...
