B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been associated with short- and long-term postdischarge prognosis among hospitalized patients heart failure. It is unknown if admission, discharge, or change from admission to discharge BNP measure the most important predictor of outcomes.We linked ≥65 years age hospitals in Organized Program Initiate Lifesaving Treatment Hospitalized Patients Heart Failure (OPTIMIZE-HF) Medicare claims. Among recorded BNP, we compared Cox models predicting 1-year...
To examine the degree to which use of β blockers, statins, and diuretics in patients with impaired glucose tolerance other cardiovascular risk factors is associated new onset diabetes.Reanalysis data from Nateglinide Valsartan Impaired Glucose Tolerance Outcomes Research (NAVIGATOR) trial.NAVIGATOR trial.Patients who at baseline (enrolment) were treatment naïve blockers (n=5640), (n=6346), statins (n=6146), calcium channel (n=6294). Use blocker was used as a metabolically neutral...
Survival estimates are an essential compliment to multivariable regression models for time-to-event data, both prediction and illustration of covariate effects. They easily obtained under the Cox proportional-hazards model. In populations defined by initial, acute event, like myocardial infarction, or in studies with long-term followup, assumption constant hazard ratios is frequently violated. One alternative fit interaction between covariates a prespecified function time, implemented as...
We sought to evaluate the effect of potent platelet inhibition after acute coronary syndrome on total (ie, first and recurrent) occurrences any primary outcome events (e.g., cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke) as well other ischemic events, such urgent revascularization, (severe) recurrent ischemia, transient attacks, arterial thrombotic events.In PLATelet patient Outcomes (PLATO) study, 18 624 patients presenting with syndromes randomly received ticagrelor (n=9333) or...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, integrating it into mainstream healthcare, especially in underserved and rural areas. This study examines implementation perceptions telehealth a Midwestern community post-pandemic period. Rural populations often face unique healthcare challenges. Telehealth has potential to mitigate these issues by improving accessibility patient satisfaction, thus being vital topic for research. Methods A survey was created...
Initial stability of tibial trays is crucial for long-term success total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in both primary and revision settings. Rotating platform (RP) designs reduce torque transfer at the tibiofemoral interface. We asked if this reduced RP resulted subsequently micromotion cemented fixation interface between prosthesis component adjacent bone.Composite tibias were implanted with fixed biomechanically tested under up to 2.5 kN axial compression 10° external femoral rotation. Relative...
Under the classical statistical framework, sample size calculations for a hypothesis test of interest maintain prespecified type I and II error rates. These methods often suffer from several practical limitations. We propose framework testing determination using Bayesian average errors. consider rejecting null hypothesis, in favor alternative, when statistic exceeds cutoff. choose cutoff to minimize weighted sum errors bound total test. apply this methodology designs common medical studies.
Context: Studies have demonstrated lipid differences among African-Americans and Caucasians between women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) normally ovulating women. However, few studies examined racial in lipoprotein levels PCOS. Objective: This study compared African-American Caucasian Design Setting: We performed a retrospective chart review of 398 subjects seen as new patients for PCOS at the Duke University Medical Center Endocrinology Clinic Durham, NC. Patients: identified 126...
In Brief Objective: To evaluate angiographic and clinical outcomes associated with open closed dissection tunnel endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) devices. Background: A previous PREVENT-IV (PRoject of Ex-vivo Vein graft ENgineering via Transfection IV) analysis reported that EVH for coronary artery bypass surgery was worse than traditional harvesting; however, by device type were not available. Methods: Using data from the trial, we compared 1549 patients 75 surgical sites who underwent (n =...
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant shift in the educational system of Philippines, with most schools being forced to conduct remote learning, including physical education (PE). This exposed inequality public school system, some students unable access necessary resources for online learning. government implemented Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) address challenges brought about by pandemic. plan includes multiple learning delivery modalities and aims ensure...
Abstract Highly porous ingrowth surfaces have been introduced into tibial tray fixation to improve long-term survivorship in cementless total knee arthroplasty. This study was designed evaluate the effect of surface on primary stability implanted component. Three designs possessing sintered bead or roughened coating were a foam tibia model with assessed via digital image correlation during stair descent and condylar liftoff loading. Follow-up testing conducted by implanting matched-pair...
Background: In clinics offering care to underserved and underinsured populations, patients who do not present for scheduled appointments (‘no-shows’) constitute a recurrent problem. As student clinicians, we are responsible working identify mitigate contributing barriers care. The Mollie Wheat Memorial Clinic (MWMC) conducted qualitative study better understand the demographics of population served evaluate their Methods: Patients presented MWMC (show) were surveyed about demographic...
Introduction: Mental illness is a clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior. Stigma toward mental health comes two primary forms: Self-stigma and perceived public stigma. Purpose: The objective of this study to quantify the amount stigma rural adults analyze differences across demographic groups. Methods: Adults were offered 14-item questionnaire at five different sites from January 2023 April 2023. Rural distinctions made based on...
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between type mental health care received and metropolitan status. We combined data from National Survey for Drug Use Health (NSDUH) treatment. grouped participants by status receipt conducted a logistic regression using interaction terms compare likelihood receiving inpatient and/or outpatient treatment health, relative prescription medication alone. There was an association For women, living outside large area associated with higher...
Non-traditional grading methods have recently become more common, and as with any large pedagogical shift, there are a number of questions to consider when applying new scheme course. This paper summarizes four types non-traditional shares experiences from the authors who applied them variety courses in statistics. article is structured set answers, seeking address many concerns considerations that one may face they transition course's structure.
