<h3>Objective</h3> To examine trends in fast-food consumption and its relationship to calorie, fat, sodium intake black white adolescent girls. <h3>Design</h3> A longitudinal multicenter cohort study of the development obesity cardiovascular risk factors female adolescents. Data collection occurred annually using a validated 3-day food record food-patterns questionnaire. <h3>Subjects Settings</h3> biracial socioeconomically diverse group 2379 girls recruited from 3 centers. <h3>Main Outcome...
Background. Liver biopsy remains critical for staging liver disease in hepatitis C virus (HCV)–infected persons, but is a bottleneck to evaluation, follow-up, and treatment of HCV. Our analysis sought validate APRI (aspartate aminotransferase [AST]–to-platelet ratio index) FIB-4, an index from serum fibrosis markers (alanine [ALT], AST, platelets plus patient age) stage disease. Methods. Biopsy results HCV patients the Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study were mapped F0–F4 equivalent scale; FIB-4...
The number of deaths in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected persons recorded on US death certificates has been increasing, but actual rates and causes these individuals have not well elucidated.Disease-specific, liver-related, non-liver-related mortality data for HCV-infected patients an observational cohort study, the Chronic Hepatitis Cohort Study (CHeCS) at 4 healthcare systems, were compared with multiple cause (MCOD) 12 million 2006-2010. Premortem diagnoses, liver biopsies, FIB-4 scores...
Background: Patients with long coronary lesions undergoing primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI) have higher rates of adverse clinical events. Both stent length and overlap are associated worse outcomes; however, data comparing very (VLS) to overlapping stents (OSs) limited, particularly during pPCI. This study aimed compare the impact a single VLS versus ≥2 OSs on outcomes in multicenter registry patients Methods: included ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent...
ABSTRACT ‐ An 8‐week multidimensional program of behavioral management, cognitive restructuring, and assertiveness training was administered to depressed outpatients either individually with a single therapist ( n = 12), in two small groups 11), or one large group as bibliotherapy 12). A randomly assigned waiting list control also included 10). Follow‐up assessments were conducted at 18 weeks. Principal findings that 1) there no significant pretreatment differences among groups, 2) all...
A test for hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is essential to identify persons with active, or current, HCV infection. We assessed trends in testing following a positive antibody result among 4 large healthcare organizations.Data collected from adults ≥2 clinical encounters during 2003-2010 were analyzed determine the frequency of, interval between, and factors associated having an after first test.From 2003-2010, 5860 had test, of whom 3570 (60.9%) follow-up test. During this period, annual...
The impact of performing a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) off-hours on clinical outcomes is not well established.
Objective With increasing use electronic health records (EHR) in the USA, we looked at predictive values of International Classification Diseases, 9th revision (ICD-9) coding system for surveillance chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the time elapsed from symptom onset to receiving medical care is one of main mortality predictors.To identify independent predictors late presentation in STEMI representative daily clinical practice.All admitted a diagnosis reference center between December 2009 and November 2014 were evaluated prospectively followed during hospitalization for 30 days after discharge. Late was defined as interval > 6 hours chest pain...
Background: Radioiodine therapy (RIT) combined with glucocorticoids is an effective for Graves' disease, but it debatable whether should be applied in patients without ophthalmopathy (GO). Methods: The effect of 0.4 - 0.5 mg prednisone every second day over a period 5 weeks after RIT was monitored follow-up at least 12 months RIT. A questionnaire sent to 186 consecutive GO concerning eye symptoms 148 (80 %) answered. If had occurred RIT, additional clinical examination carried out our...
FUNDAMENTO: Há poucos dados sobre análises da prevalência e influência de características psicológicas adversas no prognóstico dos indivíduos submetidos a intervenções coronárias percutâneas. Nenhum estudo abordou essa questão Brasil. OBJETIVO: Investigar depressão, ansiedade, estresse psicológico personalidade tipo D, bem como sua associação com eventos cardiovasculares em pacientes à intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP). MÉTODOS: As foram avaliadas por escalas: inventário depressão Beck...
Hepatitis A and B vaccines are effective in preventing superinfection sequelae patients with chronic hepatitis or C. We describe immunity vaccination against from the US Chronic Cohort Study.We identified C healthcare utilization during 2006-2008 12 months of enrollment. used electronic laboratory records to determine medical billing for history. Immunity was defined by positive antibody documented vaccination. as surface level ≥10 mIU/mL core positive, vaccination.Among 1635 patients, 978...
To evaluate the outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with and without prior artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.Data on CTO PCI versus CABG remains limited scarce representation from developing regions like Latin America.We evaluated undergoing 42 centers participating LATAM registry between 2008 2020. Statistical analyses were stratified according to status. The interest technical procedural success in-hospital major adverse cardiac...
