Rates and correlates of suicidal ideation among stroke survivors: a meta-Analysis
2017
BACKGROUND: A better understanding of the epidemiological impact of suicidal ideation after stroke is required to identify subjects needing personalised interventions. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate rates and correlates of suicidal ideation among stroke survivors. METHODS: We searched via Ovid, Medline, Embase and PsycInfo from database inception until August 2016. Predefined outcomes were (1) rates of suicidal ideation based on random-effects pooled proportion and (2) relevant sociodemographic and clinical correlates, using random-effects odds ratio (OR) or standardised mean difference (SMD) for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. RESULTS: Fifteen …
Thrombolysis with saruplase versus streptokinase in acute myocardial infarction: five-year results of the PRIMI trial.
1999
Abstract Background Short-term safety and efficacy of thrombolysis with saruplase in acute myocardial infarction have been shown in several trials. To assess long-term outcome of patients treated with saruplase or streptokinase for myocardial infarction, a 5-year follow-up of patients included in the Pro-Urokinase in Myocardial Infarction Trial was performed. Methods and Results Follow-up data are available from 8 centers on 255 (92.4%) of 276 included patients. The 5-year mortality rate was comparable with 20.8% of patients in the saruplase group and 16.9% in the streptokinase group (odds ratio 1.29, 95% confidence interval 0.69 to 2.42). In both groups, a considerable number of fatal card…
Prestroke antiplatelet therapy and early prognosis in stroke patients: the Dijon Stroke Registry
2012
Background and purpose Previous antiplatelet therapy (APT) in cardiovascular prevention is common in patients with first-ever stroke. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of APT on early outcome in stroke patients. Methods All first-ever strokes from 1985 to 2011 were identified from the population-based Stroke Registry of Dijon, France. Demographic features, risk factors, prestroke treatments and clinical information were recorded. Multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the associations between pre-admission APT and both severe handicap at discharge, and mortality at 1 month and 1 year. Results Among the 4275 patients, 870 (20.4%) were previously treated with APT. Severe han…
Annoyance to different noise sources is associated with atrial fibrillation in the Gutenberg Health Study
2018
Abstract Background Annoyance is a common reaction in populations exposed to environmental noise and is associated with cardiovascular diseases. We investigated for the first time the existence of an association between noise annoyance and atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and results Cross-sectional data from 14,639 participants of the Gutenberg Health Study were collected between 2007 and 2012. Annoyance from road traffic, aircraft, railways, industrial/construction and neighbourhood noise during daytime and sleep were collected from all participants through questionnaires using a 5-point scale. AF was assessed via self-reported medical history and/or documentation of AF on the study elec…
Cumulative incidence of achilles tendon rupture and tendinopathy in male former elite athletes
2005
To study the cumulative incidence of Achilles tendon rupture and tendinopathy among former top-level athletes.Historical cohort study.Finland.Male former elite athlete cohort members (n = 785; median age, 69 years when responding to the questionnaire; range, 54-97) and their matched controls (n = 416; median age, 68 years; range, 56-94).Questionnaire-reported Achilles tendinopathy and tendon rupture diagnosed by physicians before the age of 45 years and within the subjects' lifetimes.Cumulative incidence of Achilles tendinopathy before the age of 45 was high for middle and long-distance runners (adjusted odds ratio, 31.2 compared with controls; P0.001), and cumulative incidence of Achilles …
Risk Factors for Failure of Male Slings and Artificial Urinary Sphincters: Results from a Large Middle European Cohort Study.
2016
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> We analysed the impact of predefined risk factors: age, diabetes, history of pelvic irradiation, prior surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), prior urethral stricture, additional procedure during SUI surgery, duration of incontinence, ASA-classification and cause for incontinence on failure and complications in male SUI surgery. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively identified 506 patients with an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) and 513 patients with a male sling (MS) in a multicenter cohort study. Complication rates were correlated to the risk factors in univariate analysis. Subsequentl…
Delayed increase of S100A9 messenger RNA predicts hospital-acquired infection after septic shock.
2011
OBJECTIVE: Septic shock remains a serious disease with high mortality and increased risk of hospital-acquired infection. The prediction of outcome is of the utmost importance for selecting patients for therapeutic strategies aiming to modify the immune response. The aim of this study was to assess the capability of S100A9 messenger RNA in whole blood from patients with septic shock to predict survival and the occurrence of hospital-acquired infection. DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: Two intensive care units in a university hospital. SUBJECTS: The study included patients with septic shock (n = 166) and healthy volunteers (n = 44). INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: For the pa…
In-hospital outcomes and 5-year mortality following an acute myocardial infarction in patients with a history of cancer: Results from the French regi…
2019
Summary Background Cancer and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have important prognostic consequences. Treatment of some cancers may affect coronary artery disease, myocardial function and/or AMI management. Whether the early and long-term mortality of patients with AMI differ according to their history of cancer remains questionable. Aims To determine in-hospital outcomes and 5-year mortality following AMI according to patient history of cancer. Methods The FAST-MI registry is a nationwide French survey collecting data on characteristics, management and outcomes of 3670 consecutive patients admitted for AMI during October 2005. Results Overall, 246/3664 patients (6.7%) admitted for an AMI…
Prognostic value of ST-segment resolution after rescue percutaneous coronary intervention. Data from the RICO survey
2008
Objectives: The goal of the present study was to test the impact of ST segment resolution (STR) after rescue percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the short-term prognosis. Background: The prognostic value of STR after rescue PCI for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains undetermined. Methods: From the French regional database, we analyzed 168 consecutive patients with STEMI and failed lysis, defined by <50 percent STR, who underwent rescue PCI. Patients were classified into two groups according to the degree of STR from the maximal ST-elevation measured on the single worst ECG lead before lysis and after rescue PCI: the without STR group (<50% STR) vs. the with STR…
Effect of Bacteremia in Elderly Patients With Urinary Tract Infection.
2016
The clinical effect of bacteremia on outcomes in urinary tract infection (UTI) is still debated. This study aims to examine the clinical effect of bacteremia in elderly patients with UTI requiring hospital admission.This retrospective observational study recorded the clinical features, microbiology and outcomes in a Spanish cohort of patients aged ≥65 years hospitalized for UTI in whom blood cultures were performed in the emergency department. The primary outcome of the study was in-hospital mortality.Of 333 patients, with a mean age of 81.6 years, 137 (41.1%) had positive blood cultures. Escherichia coli, with 223 (66.9%) cases, was the most common microorganism isolated. Independent risk …
