TCT-350 Safety and Performance of the Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold, Magmaris in a Real World Setting - First 400 Subjects at 12-month Follow-up of the BIOSOLVE-IV Registry
The aim of this registry is to investigate the clinical performance and long-term safety of the Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold (Magmaris) (BIOTRONIK AG, Buelach, Switzerland) in a real-world setting. Up to 2,054 subjects in up to 120 clinical sites in Europe, Asia, and Asia-Pacific countries will
Estimated stroke risk, yield, and number needed to screen for atrial fibrillation detected through single time screening: a multicountry patient-level meta-analysis of 141,220 screened individuals.
Background The precise age distribution and calculated stroke risk of screen-detected atrial fibrillation (AF) is not known. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the number needed to screen (NNS) to identify one treatable new AF case (NNS-Rx) (i.e., Class-1 oral anticoagulation [OAC] treatment recommendation) in each age stratum. If the NNS-Rx is known for each age stratum, precise cost-effectiveness and sensitivity simulations can be performed based on the age distribution of the population/region to be screened. Such calculations are required by national authorities and organisations responsible for health system budgets to determine the best age cutoffs for screening programs and d…
