Disordered breathing during sleep is associated with acute, unfavorable effects on cardiovascular physiology, but few studies have examined its postulated association disease (CVD). We the cross-sectional between sleep- disordered and self-reported CVD in 6,424 free-living individuals who underwent overnight, unattended polysomnography at home. Sleep-disordered was quantified by apnea–hypopnea index (AHI)—the average number of apneas hypopneas per hour sleep. Mild to moderate highly...
<b><i> Objective:</i></b> To perform serial neuropsychological assessments to detect vascular risk factors for cognitive decline in the Atherosclerosis Risk Communities cohort, a large biracial, multisite, longitudinal investigation of initially middle-aged individuals. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The authors administered 10,963 individuals (8,729 white and 2,234 black individuals) on two occasions separated by 6 years. Subjects ranged age at first assessment from 47 70 included delayed word...
Disordered breathing during sleep is more common among postmenopausal women than their premenopausal counterparts, possibly because of declining levels estrogen and progesterone. We examined the relationship between use replacement hormones sleep-disordered in a sample 2,852 noninstitutionalized women, 50 years age or older, who participated Sleep Heart Health Study. The frequency apneas hypopneas per hour (apnea–hypopnea index) was determined by unattended, single-night polysomnography at...
Background and Purpose— The role of circulating lipids lipoproteins in the pathogenesis ischemic stroke remains uncertain despite 3 decades research. We examined this issue a large population-based cohort. Methods— Between 1987 1989, 14 175 middle-aged men women, free clinical cardiovascular disease, took part first examination Atherosclerosis Risk Communities (ARIC) study Baseline measurements included plasma levels LDL cholesterol, HDL apolipoprotein B, A-1, triglycerides myriad risk...
Cerebral microvascular disease has been hypothesized to contribute cognitive impairment, but few clinical data are available. Here, we examine the relation of retinal abnormalities with function in middle-aged persons free stroke.The Atherosclerosis Risk Communities Study is a population-based study examinations every 3 years from 1987 through 1998. At visit 3, when participants were 51 70 age, photographs obtained and evaluated for according standardized protocols. Cognitive was assessed...
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) improves survival and confers neuroprotection in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but TH is underutilized, regional systems of care for OHCA that include are needed.The Cool It protocol has established as the standard across a network hospitals transferring patients to central TH-capable hospital. Between February 2006 August 2009, 140 who remained unresponsive after return spontaneous circulation were cooled rewarmed with use an automated, noninvasive...
The study goal was to concurrently evaluate agreement of a 9-point pulmonary ultrasound protocol and portable chest radiograph with CT for localization pathology the correct lung also specific anatomic lobes among diverse group intubated patients acute respiratory failure.
Study Objectives:To examine the relation of sleep-related symptoms to race and ethnicity in a diverse sample middle-aged older men women.
OBJECTIVE—Glycemic control (HbA1c [A1C]) is strongly associated with microvascular disease in individuals diabetes, but its relation to macrovascular and atherosclerosis less clear. This study examines the relationship between A1C, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), traditional cardiovascular risk factors diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A cross-sectional of 2,060 people diagnosed undiagnosed (unrecognized) diabetes Atherosclerosis Risk Communities was performed. RESULTS—LDL HDL...
Hospital care for ambulatory sensitive conditions (ACSC) is potentially avoidable and often viewed as an indicator of suboptimal primary care. However, preventable encounters with the health system also occur in emergency department (ED) settings. We examined ED visits to identify subpopulations disproportionate use EDs ACSC care.We analyzed data from 2007-2009 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey 78,114 by adults aged 18 older. Outcomes were determined diagnosis. constructed analytic...
Our objective was to describe the relationship of arterial stiffness and hypertension in a large, population-based sample men women. Hypertension-related increases may reflect distending pressure and/or structural alterations artery. Included were 10,712 participants, ages 45 64 years, Atherosclerosis Risk Communities Study, free prevalent cardiovascular disease. Hypertension classified as systolic or diastolic blood (BP) 140/90 mm Hg, respectively, current use antihypertensive medications....
Background. Frailty is a common risk factor for morbidity and mortality in elderly persons. Recent evidence links frailty to activation of coagulation inflammatory pathways. We aimed determine whether community-dwelling older adults venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Summary Background: Emergency departments (EDs) routinely struggle with gaps in information when providing patient care. A point to health exchange (HIE) model has the potential effectively fill those gaps. Objective: To examine utility, perceived and actual, of a point-to-point HIE tool called Care Everywhere (CE) its impact on care ED. Methods: This mixed methods study was performed at four large hospital EDs between January 2012 November 2012. Retrospective data extracted from electronic...
Very little quantitative data on occupational burnout and exposure to critical incidents are available from contemporary United States emergency medical services (EMS) cohorts. Given that has been associated positively with turnover intentions absenteeism in EMS workers, studies uncover correlates of may be integral combating growing concerns around retention the profession.We administered a 167-item electronic survey included Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) modified version Critical...
OBJECTIVES Motorcycle helmets save lives and reduce serious injury after motorcycle collisions (MCC). In 2022, 18 states had laws requiring helmet use by motorcyclists aged ≥21 years. Our objective was to compare head trauma in emergency medical services (EMS) patients involved MCC with without laws.
Background Errors in veterinary clinical settings can lead to patient harm. Morbidity and mortality meetings (M&Ms) are forums discuss errors incidents that or have led adverse outcomes, potential harm unsafe conditions, with the purpose of improving safety future. Despite growing implementation M&Ms medicine, their effectiveness future may be constrained by need for absolute confidentiality during meetings. Objective To pilot use a simple framework categorise triggering...
Summary Epidemiologic literature suggests that persons with clinically diagnosed sleep apnoea frequently have impaired cognitive function, but whether milder degrees of sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) are associated dysfunction in the general population is largely unknown. Approximately 1700 subjects free SDB underwent at‐home polysomnography (PSG) as part Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) and completed three function tests within 1–2 years their PSG: Delayed Word Recall Test (DWR), WAIS‐R...
