Postoperative atrial fibrillation (pAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting is a common complication. Whether pAF associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) remains uncertain. We investigated the association between and long-term CVA by performing post hoc analysis 10-year outcomes ART (Arterial Revascularization Trial).For present analysis, among patients enrolled in (n=3102), we excluded those who did not undergo surgery (n=25), had history (n=45), or no...
Background There is still uncertainty about the safety of aprotinin for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The ART (Arterial Revascularization Trial) was designed to compare survival after bilateral versus single internal thoracic grafting. Many patients (≈30%) received perioperative aprotinin. We investigated association between administration and short‐term (in‐hospital) long‐term outcomes by performing a post hoc analysis . Methods Results Among enrolled in (n=3102) from 2004 2007, we...
Stroke survivors and their caregivers report not receiving enough information at discharge. To identify strengths weaknesses of stroke discharge education, we delivered questionnaires that assessed patient caregiver recall, perceived utility, satisfaction as well 1- 3-month follow-up. Categorical data responses were compared between time periods using Fischer exact test. Recall significantly differed (86%) 1-month follow-up (54%, P < .05), but (69%). Patient utility both 1 month (69%) 3...
Objective To assess the effect of antidepressants on functional post-stroke recovery, we conducted a retrospective analysis among acute ischemic stroke patients with subgroup severe cases, assessing outcomes through 18 months. Methods A retrospectively gathered population was obtained from an institutional database. Grouping via intention-to-treat antidepressant use or lack thereof. Patients (NIHSS ≥ 21) were further analyzed independently. The primary and secondary modified Rankin scale...
