In a retrospective survey, 487 research projects approved by the Central Oxford Research Ethics Committee between 1984 and 1987, were studied for evidence of publication bias. As May, 1990, 285 studies had been analysed investigators, 52% these published. Studies with statistically significant results more likely to be published than those finding no difference study groups (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2·32; 95% confidence interval [Cl] 1·25-4·28). also lead greater number publications...
Abstract Background Catheter ablation is widely accepted intervention for atrial fibrillation (AF) refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs, but limited data are available regarding contemporary trends in major complications and in‐hospital mortality due the procedure. This study was aimed at exploring temporal of mortality, complications, impact hospital volume on frequency AF ablation–related outcomes. Methods The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database utilized identify patients treated with...
Background Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. Data regarding 30‐day readmission rates after discharge for atrial remain poorly reported. Methods and Results The Nationwide Readmission Database (2010–2014) was queried using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision ( ICD‐9 ) codes to identify study population. Incidence, etiologies predictors readmissions, cost care were analyzed. Among 1 723 378 patients who survived discharge, 249 343 (14.4%)...
Device-related hemolysis leading to anemia is a recognized chronic complication of left ventricular assist device (LVAD). With the increased usage LVAD in management end-stage heart failure, an number complications are being recognized. We present case where combination elevated mean arterial pressure and development aortic regurgitation resulted hemolysis, power spikes, anemia, mimicking thrombus, resulting diagnostic dilemma.
This is the first reported case of full biventricular mechanical circulatory support with combination Impella and Protek Duo, which a dual-lumen cannula inserted via right internal jugular vein, its proximal inflow lumen positioned in atrium distal main pulmonary artery. These lumens are connected paracorporeal TandemHeart pump allowing flows up to 5 L/min. The alternative percutaneous option for ventricular RP (Abiomed), has be placed femoral preventing ambulation. axillary vein positions...
Abstract Background Understanding the factors associated with early readmissions following atrial flutter (AFL) ablation is critical to reduce cost and improving quality of life in AFL patients. Method The study cohort was derived from national readmission database 2013–2014. International Classification Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD‐9‐CM) diagnosis code 427.32 procedure 37.34 were used identify catheter ablation, respectively. primary secondary outcomes 90‐day complications including...
Heart failure impacts patients' functional capabilities, ultimately leading to frailty. The use of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is acceptable as both destination therapy and bridge transplant in heart management. We aim evaluate the prognostic value Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) on outcomes older patients undergoing implantation LVAD.
The Thoratec Implantable Ventricular Assist Device (IVAD) is the only FDA-approved intracorporeal biventricular cardiac assist device. It a titanium-coated version of its predecessor, Paracorporeal (PVAD). blood pump compatible with portable TLC-II driver, making home discharge feasible.Nine consecutive patients were implanted IVAD from June 2005 through March 2006. indications for support acute heart failure in 6 cases and chronic 3 cases. All managed maximal medical therapies including...
