Implicaciones pronósticas de la hipo e hiperpotasemia en la insuficiencia cardíaca aguda con fracción de eyección reducida. Análisis de la mortalidad…

2022

Resumen Antecedentes y objetivos Las alteraciones del potasio constituyen un problema clinico de gran magnitud en la insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) descompensada. Este estudio pretende valorar las implicaciones pronosticas de la hipo e hiperpotasemia al ingreso por IC aguda en la mortalidad cardiovascular y reingresos hospitalarios. Material y metodo De enero de 2016 a junio de 2020 fueron ingresados 1.397 casos con diagnostico de IC aguda. Se excluyeron ingresos programados para estudio, terapias electivas y pacientes con fraccion de eyeccion del ventriculo izquierdo  >  40%. El estudio se realizo sobre 689 pacientes, 45 con potasio (K+)   5,0 mmol/l y 595 K+  =  3,5-5,0 mmol/l. Se analizaron…

Impact pronostique de l’HbA1c et de la glycémie plasmatique (Gp) à la phase aiguë d’un infarctus du myocarde sur la mortalité à un an chez des patien…

2020

International audience; Background: The usefulness of the combined assessment of HbA1c and plasma glucose (PG) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in non-diabetic patients remains unclear.Purpose: In a large observational study, we aimed to identify the prognostic values of these biomarkers regarding one-year all-cause mortality in non-diabetic patients after AMI.Methods: From the "obseRvatoire des Infarctus de Côte d'Or" (RICO) survey database, we included all consecutive non-diabetic patients with AMI (n=6617) from May 2001 to December 2016. Exclusion criteria were: admission known or unknown diabetes, in-hospital death. The primary endpoint was all-cause one-year mortality. The secondar…

Veränderung von Inzidenz und Mortalität von Kopf-Hals-Malignomen in Rheinland-Pfalz, 2000–2009

2014

Hintergrund: Epidemiologische Daten zu Kopf-Hals-Malignomen werden trotz ihrer anatomisch-histologischen Heterogenitat oft aggregiert berichtet. In Deutschland gibt es bisher nur wenige Studien, die Trends von Inzidenz und Mortalitat detailliert nach Tumorentitaten analysiert haben. Weiterhin ist wenig daruber bekannt, ob die Inzidenz von HPV-assoziierten Tumorentitaten der Kopf-Hals-Region zugenommen hat. Methoden: Anhand von Krebsregisterdaten aus Rheinland-Pfalz von 2000–2009 wurden altersstandardisierte Inzidenz- und Mortalitatsraten fur alle Kopf-Hals-Tumorentitaten einzeln und nach Lokalisationsgruppen, die HPV-assoziiert sein konnten, berechnet. Zeitliche Trends wurden mittels Joinpo…

18F-FDG PET/TC en infección e inflamación cardiovascular

2021

espanolEn cardiologia nuclear, el diagnostico de infeccion e inflamacion cardiovascular mediante PET/TC con [18F]FDG es de interes creciente, ya que esta tecnica ha mejorado la certeza diagnostica en pacientes con endocarditis infecciosa en protesis valvulares respecto a la ecocardiografia, en pacientes con dispositivos intracardiacos, cuya frecuencia de implantacion va en aumento debido al progresivo envejecimiento de la poblacion, asi como en aquellos con sospecha de vasculitis de grandes vasos. Son situaciones clinicas graves, en las que es necesario establecer lo antes posible el diagnostico correcto y el tratamiento adecuado, pues pueden producir complicaciones severas, alta mortalidad…

Forecasting Hepatitis C liver disease burden on real-life data. Does the hidden iceberg matter to reach the elimination goals?

2018

Abstract Background & Aims Advances in direct‐acting antiviral treatment of HCV have reinvigorated public health initiatives aimed at identifying affected individuals. We evaluated the possible impact of only diagnosed and linked‐to‐care individuals on overall HCV burden estimates and identified a possible strategy to achieve the WHO targets by 2030. Methods Using a modelling approach grounded in Italian real‐life data of diagnosed and treated patients, different linkage‐to‐care scenarios were built to evaluate potential strategies in achieving the HCV elimination goals. Results Under the 40% linked‐to‐care scenario, viraemic burden would decline (60%); however, eligible patients to treat w…

Prevalence and 30-Day Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With Covid-19 and Prior Lung Diseases.

2021

Patients with pre-existing respiratory diseases in the setting of COVID-19 may have a greater risk of severe complications and even death.A retrospective, multicenter, cohort study with 5847 COVID-19 patients admitted to hospitals. Patients were separated in two groups, with/without previous lung disease. Evaluation of factors associated with survival and secondary composite end-point such as ICU admission and respiratory support, were explored.1,271 patients (22%) had a previous lung disease, mostly COPD. All-cause mortality occurred in 376 patients with lung disease (29.5%) and in 819 patients without (17.9%) (Previous lung disease is a risk factor for mortality in patients with COVID-19.…

Projections of temperature-related excess mortality under climate change scenarios.

2017

Background: Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is limited, mainly due to issues in modelling and projecting complex and highly heterogeneous epidemiological relationships across different populations and climates. Methods: We collected observed daily time series of mean temperature and mortality counts for all causes or non-external causes only, in periods ranging from Jan 1, 1984, to Dec 31, 2015, from various locations across the globe through the Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network. We estimated temperature–mortality relationships through a tw…

The Increased Mortality Rate with Lower Incidence of Traumatic Brain Injury during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A National Study

2022

Background: the COVID-19 pandemic with the following lockdown strategies have affected virtually all aspects of everyday life. Health services all over the world faced the crisis on an unprecedented scale, hampering timely care delivery. The present study was designed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the incidence and treatment of traumatic brain injuries in Poland. Methods: the data on hospital admissions with traumatic brain injuries as the primary diagnosis were extracted from the National Health Fund of Poland. For the purpose of this study, the search was limited to four relevant diagnosis-related groups. The overall in-house mortality was calculated. Results: there wer…

The role of humidity in associations of high temperature with mortality: A multicountry, multicity study

2019

BACKGROUND: There is strong experimental evidence that physiologic stress from high temperatures is greater if humidity is higher. However, heat indices developed to allow for this have not consistently predicted mortality better than dry-bulb temperature. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to clarify the potential contribution of humidity an addition to temperature in predicting daily mortality in summer by using a large multicountry dataset. METHODS: In 445 cities in 24 countries, we fit a time-series regression model for summer mortality with a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) for temperature (up to lag 3) and supplemented this with a range of terms for relative humidity (RH) and its interaction…
