Prognosis and Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Spain in 2012: The DIOCLES Study
2015
Abstract Introduction and objectives To identify the current mortality and management of patients admitted for suspected acute coronary syndrome in Spain. The last available registry (2004-2005) reported an in-hospital mortality of 5.7%. Methods The study included patients consecutively admitted between January and June 2012 at 44 hospitals selected at random. Information was collected on clinical course at admission and on events at 6 months. Results A total of 2557 patients admitted with suspected acute coronary syndrome were included: 788 (30.8%) with ST-segment elevation, 1602 (62.7%) without ST-segment elevation, and 167 (6.5%) with unclassified acute coronary syndrome. In-hospital mor…
Ventricular dysfunction and number of non compacted segments in non compaction: Non-independent predictors.
2010
Abstract Background Isolated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) is characterized by multiple prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. Some reports prove that the chronic heart failure may occur in approximately half of the patients. In this report we investigate the correlation between the number of non compacted segments and entity of systolic dysfunction from the registry and subregistries of the SIEC. Method To identify the correlation between ventricular dysfunction and number of segments involved in non compaction we evaluated a consecutive series of 238 patients affected by non compaction, from the SIEC (Societa Italiana di Ecografia Cardiovascolare) registry. The ave…
Insufficient control of heart rate in stable coronary artery disease patients in Latvia
2014
Background and objective:\ud Heart rate (HR) ≥70 beats per minute (bpm) increases cardiovascular risk in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The objective of the analysis is to characterize HR as well as other clinical parameters in outpatients with stable CAD in Latvia.<p></p>\ud \ud Materials and methods:\ud CLARIFY is an ongoing international registry of outpatients with established CAD. Latvian data regarding 120 patients enrolled in CLARIFY and collected at baseline visit during 2009–2010 were analyzed.<p></p>\ud \ud Results:\ud The mean HR was 67.7 ± 9.5 and 66.9 ± 10.7 bpm when measured by pulse palpation and electrocardiography, respectively. HR …
Prognostic impact of anemia according to frailty status in elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes.
2019
Aims Anemia is associated with poorer outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), but the magnitude of this association in elderly patients remains poorly understood. No study has assessed the prognostic impact of anemia according to frailty status in this setting. Methods The LONGEVO-SCA registry included unselected ACS patients aged at least 80 years. A geriatric assessment was performed during hospitalization, including frailty assessment using the FRAIL scale. Anemia was defined by the WHO criteria. We evaluated the impact of anemia on 6-month mortality according to the presence of frailty. Results A total of 517 patients were assessed. Mean age was 84.3 years, and a total…
Quality analysis of population-based information on cancer stage at diagnosis across Europe, with presentation of stage-specific cancer survival esti…
2017
Abstract Background Cancer registries (CRs) are fundamental for estimating cancer burden, evaluating screening and monitoring health service performance. Stage at diagnosis—an essential information item collected by CRs—has been made available, for the first time, by CRs participating in EUROCARE-5. We analysed the quality of this information and estimated stage-specific survival across Europe for CRs with good data quality. Data and methods Sixty-two CRs sent stage (as TNM, condensed TNM or extent of disease) for 15 cancers diagnosed in 2000–2007. We assessed the quality, partly by comparing stage according to the three systems. We also developed procedures to reconstruct stage (categories…
Tumor Marker Carbohydrate Antigen 125 Predicts Adverse Outcome After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
2013
ObjectivesThis study sought to predict the value of tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) before and after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for all-cause death and a composite endpoint of death, admission for heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke (major adverse cardiac events [MACE]).BackgroundRisk stratification after TAVI remains challenging. The use of biomarkers in this setting represents an unmet need.MethodsCA125 was measured in 228 patients before and after TAVI. The association with outcomes was assessed using parametric Cox regression and joint modeling for baseline and longitudinal analyses, respectively. CA125 was evaluated as logarithm transforma…
Randomized comparison between the invasive and conservative strategies in comorbid elderly patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction.
2016
Abstract Background Comorbid elderly patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (non-STEMI) are underrepresented in randomized trials and undergo fewer cardiac catheterizations according to registries. Our aim was to compare the conservative and invasive strategies in these patients. Methods Randomized multicenter study, including 106 patients (January 2012–March 2014) with non-STEMI, over 70 years and with comorbidities defined by at least two of the following: peripheral artery disease, cerebral vascular disease, dementia, chronic pulmonary disease, chronic renal failure or anemia. Patients were randomized to invasive (routine coronary angiogram, n = 52) or conservative (coronar…
Pattern of comorbidities and 1-year mortality in elderly patients with COPD hospitalized in internal medicine wards: data from the RePoSI Registry
2020
Currently, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents the fourth cause of death worldwide with significant economic burden. Comorbidities increase in number and severity with age and are identified as important determinants that influence the prognosis. In this observational study, we retrospectively analyzed data collected from the RePoSI register. We aimed to investigate comorbidities and outcomes in a cohort of hospitalized elderly patients with the clinical diagnosis of COPD. Socio-demographic, clinical characteristics and laboratory findings were considered. The association between variables and in-hospital, 3-month and 1-year follow-up were analyzed. Among 4696 in-patient…
Understanding variations in survival for colorectal cancer in Europe: a EUROCARE high resolution study
2000
BACKGROUND—Marked differences in population based survival across Europe were found for colorectal cancers diagnosed in 1985-1989. AIMS—To understand the reasons for these differences in survival in a new analysis of colorectal cancers diagnosed between 1988 and 1991. SUBJECTS—A total of 2720 patients with adenocarcinoma of the large bowel from 11 European cancer registries (CRs). METHODS—We obtained information on stage at diagnosis, diagnostic determinants, and surgical treatment (not routinely collected by CRs) and analysed the data in relation to three year observed survival, calculating relative risks (RRs) of death and adjusting for age, sex, site, stage, and determinants of stage. RE…
Trends in Frequency and Management of Obstructing Colorectal Cancers in a Well-Defined Population
2007
Few population-based studies investigate obstructing colorectal cancers. This study was designed to describe trends in their frequency and management. Data were obtained for 13,331 colorectal cancers registered by the population-based cancer registry of Burgundy, France, between the years 1976 and 2000. Obstructing cancers represented 8.3 percent of all colorectal cancers. This proportion was stable throughout the study. Resection for cure increased from 54.9 percent (1976–1980) to 71.4 percent (1996–2000; P = 0.011). Using multivariate analysis, site of cancer and period of diagnosis were the only factors significantly associated to a curative resection. Postoperative mortality for obstruc…
