We aimed to assess the impact of an educational, motivational intervention on adherence oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF).Hospitalized AF who received OAC were randomly assigned usual medical care or a proactive intervention, comprising interviewing, and tailored counselling medication adherence. The primary study outcome was at 1 year, which evaluated according proportion days covered (PDC) by regimens assessed through nationwide registers...
Vaccination against various pathogens is recommended for HIV positive adults. There are not sufficient data either on vaccination coverage of adults or the risk factors associated with poor adherence to routine vaccination.During period 2004-2014 a group infected hepatitis A virus (HAV), B (HBV), seasonal influenza and pneumococcal disease was recorded. separated into two chronological periods, before after 2010, as 2010 marks start economic crisis in Greece.1210 patients were included our...
This study sought to develop and validate a risk score predict mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after hospitalization for cardiac reasons. The new was derived from prospective cohort of hospitalized concurrent AF. outcome measures were all-cause cardiovascular mortality. Random forest used variable selection. A points model predictor variables developed by weighted Cox regression coefficients internally validated bootstrapping. In total, 1130 AF included. During median...
Background: Proper anticoagulation is a crucial therapeutic regimen in atrial fibrillation (AF). Objectives: To evaluate the real-life prescriptions of AF patients upon hospital discharge. Methods: We studied 768 with comorbid who were discharged from cardiology ward tertiary hospital. assessed appropriateness oral (OAC) regimens at discharge based on stroke risk (CHA 2 DS -Vasc score), SAMe-TT R (sex, age, medical history, treatment, tobacco, race) score for vitamin K antagonists (VKA), and...
Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an alternative nonpharmacological therapeutic option for stroke prevention in patients with NVAF. However, no data exist on potential LAAO candidates' prevalence among 'real-world' NVAF patients. This study aimed to investigate the indications hospitalized comorbid nonvalvular fibrillation (NVAF).This a post-hoc analysis of MISOAC-AF (Motivational Interviewing Support OAC-AF, ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02941978), randomized controlled trial,...
Abstract Background Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is paramount to effective thromboprophylaxis; yet adherence OAC remains largely suboptimal in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Purpose We aimed assess the impact of an educational, motivational intervention on non-valvular AF. Methods Hospitalised AF who received were randomly assigned usual medical care or a proactive intervention, comprising interviewing and tailored counseling medication adherence. The primary study outcome was at...
Abstract Background Prior risk stratification schemes for atrial fibrillation (AF) have extensively focused on stroke as the principal outcome. However, an accurate estimation of death in patients with AF has received disproportional attention. Purpose The aim this study was to develop and validate a score predicting mortality who underwent hospitalization cardiac reasons. Methods new developed internally validated 887 AF, were followed up median 2 years. outcome measure all-cause mortality....
