Background: Deciding to use oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is complex. For many, the decision between treatment and non-treatment requires a primary tradeoff risks of potential increased bleeding. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that patient values empiric risk measured by CHA 2 DS -VASc score would influence OAC decisions. Methods: conducted secondary analysis randomized clinical trial where eligible clinicians were independently one...
Radiomics is a rapidly growing field that quantitatively extracts image features in high-throughput manner from medical imaging. In this study, we analyzed the radiomics of whole pancreas between healthy individuals and pancreatic cancer patients, established predictive model can distinguish patients based on these features. Methods: We retrospectively collected venous-phase scans contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images 181 control subjects 85 case for analysis modeling. An...
Synchronous brain metastases (SBMs) are a presentation of stage IV cancers with limited treatment options. This study examines the association between health insurance status and overall survival (OS) patients SBMs using National Cancer Database (NCBD).We queried NCDB for from 2010 to 2015. Included cases were seven primary cancers. Patients grouped based on their status. We assessed OS Cox proportional hazards model adjusted age at diagnosis, sex, race, education level, income residential...
Background: While atrial fibrillation (AF) clinical trials define treatment success by time to first AF episode > 30 seconds, our previous survey identified patient-defined as a Toronto Severity Score (AFSS) of ≤ 5 (no-mild symptoms, 80% participants) and an lasting 1 hour (60% respondents). Our objective is better understand patterns failure when defined patient priorities. Methods: Using institutional retrospective cohort patients with either AFSS scores (53.8%) and/or ambulatory ECG...
Background: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) was first performed among Medicare beneficiaries in 2017 and has grown rapidly popularity. Payments from device manufacturers to physicians have been shown correlate with other procedures, which are now publicly available. We report trends of LAAO patients, the relationship between procedure volume manufacturer payment. Methods: linked procedural data Open via NPI number identified performing ≥ 1 2021. Baseline physician information,...
Purpose: Pancreatic cancer is an extremely aggressive and deadly with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. Our study aims to establish MRI radiomics-based model predict for borderline resectable locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients who have received radiation therapy. Methods: 71 (42 Male, 29 Female) were retrospectively selected radiomics analysis median age 63 years. The gross tumor each patient was delineated on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. Radiomics...
