Long-Term Exposure to Traffic Noise and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Diseases: a Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis
AbstractWhile noise pollution from transportation has become an important public health problem, the relationships between different sources of traffic noise and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain inconclusive. A comprehensive meta-analysis was therefore conducted to quantitatively assess the effects of long-term exposure to road traffic, railway, and aircraft noise on CVDs and relevant subtypes. We systematically retrieved PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for articles published before April 4, 2022. Summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by the fixed- or random-effects models. ...

Stratification of US adults based on exposure to lead, cadmium, manganese, and mercury and their effects on cardiovascular diseases
ConclusionsExposure to high levels of metal mixtures may be a potential predictor of CVDs. Unsupervised clustering method-based stratification of the population using metal mixtures provides a reliable and promising method for the analysis of the relationship between metal mixtures and health endpoints.

Quality and safety in the literature: July 2023
Healthcare quality and safety span multiple topics across the spectrum of academic and clinical disciplines. Keeping abreast of the rapidly growing body of work can be challenging. In this series, we provide succinct summaries of selected relevant studies published in the last several months. Some articles will focus on a particular theme, whereas others will highlight unique publications from high-impact medical journals. Key points Despite increased attention to patient safety over the last several decades, adverse events continue to be common in hospitalised patients, occurring in 23.6% of admissions studied. N Engl J M...

Projecting the Health and Economic Burden of Cardiovascular Disease Among People with Type 2 Diabetes, 2022 –2031
ConclusionsCVD in people with type 2 diabetes will substantially impact the Australian healthcare system and society over the next decade. Future work to investigate different strategies to optimize the control of risk factors for the prevention and treatment of CVD in type 2 diabetes in Australia is warranted.

Cost Effectiveness of the First ‐in‐Class ARNI (Sacubitril/Valsartan) for the Treatment of Essential Hypertension in a Chinese Setting
ConclusionsThis was the first study to evaluate the cost effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan in the treatment of hypertension. Sacubitril/valsartan compares favorably with allisartan isoproxil and valsartan in the Chinese setting, which is mainly due to its higher efficacy resulting in fewer cardiovascular events and ultimately less related mortality over time. The results could inform deliberations regarding reimbursement and access to this treatment in China and may provide reference for facilitating more reasonable and efficient allocation of limited resources in such low- and middle-income countries.
