Background and aim: Nationwide data on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are available for some Western but not Central Eastern European countries. We performed a study nationwide of all Polish AMI patients in 2009–2012 to assess incidence, quality care, cardiovascular events during 1 year following AMI. Methods: The database the only public, obligatory health insurer Poland (National Health Fund) together with from Statistical Office were used. cases selected based primary diagnosis ICD-10...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, characterized by an increased risk of thromboembolic complications that can be markedly reduced with anticoagulation. There a paucity studies assessing total prevalence AF in national populations. Aims: To assess nationwide population adults ≥65 old and to determine impact duration electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring on number newly detected episodes. Methods: The NOMED-AF study (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT: 0324347) was...
Background: Our study analyzes the frequency and risk factors of hyperuricemia use allopurinol in a representative cohort older Polish adult population. Methods: The analysis was part cross-sectional PolSenior on aging Poland. complete medication data were available 4873 out 4979 community dwelling respondents aged 65 over. Serum uric acid concentrations evaluated 4028 participants (80.9% cohort). Results: Hyperuricemia observed 28.2% women 24.7% men. Ten selected based multivariable LASSO...
Population ageing constitutes an increasing medical, social, and economic burden worldwide. Optimal senior policy should be based on well-assessed knowledge the prevalence control of age-related diseases, multimorbidity, disabilities, their social determinants. The objective this paper is to describe assumptions, methods, sampling procedures PolSenior2 survey, which was aimed at characterising health status old very-old adults in Poland.The project conducted period 2018-2019 as a...
Abstract Background The global burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is constantly rising, leading to an increasing healthcare stroke. AF often remains undiagnosed due the occurrence in asymptomatic, silent form, i.e., (SAF). study aims evaluate relationships between DM prevalence using a mobile long-term continuous ECG telemonitoring vest representative Polish European population ≥ 65 years for detection AF, symptomatic or silent. Methods A sample 3014 participants...
The presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an indicator a worse long-term prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). Unfortunately, not much known about renal function the population post-IS subjects. aim our study was to assess prevalence damage and impaired (IRF) subjects.This prospective analysis concerned 352 consecutive survivors hospitalized Pomeranian centers (Poland) 2009. In this group estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according MDRD (modification diet diseases)...
Background: Silent atrial fibrillation (SAF) is common and associated with poor outcomes. Aims: to study the risk factors for AF SAF in elderly (≥65 years) general population develop a stratification model predicting SAF. Methods: Continuous ECG monitoring was performed up 30 days using vest-based system cohort from NOMED-AF, cross-sectional based on nationwide sample. The independent were determined multiple logistic regression. ROC analysis applied validate developed score. Results: From...
Background: In addition to genetic predispositions and environmental factors, healthy lifestyle education is very important for children adolescents. The purpose of this research was estimate the number overweight obese adolescents from small towns villages find out an association between health awareness in risk becoming or obese. Methods: conducted 1,515 aged 6-18 years Poland. Overweight diagnosed when BMI age sex over 90th percentile; obesity - it 95th percentile. study consisted a...
Background: Long‑term follow‑up data from a large Polish acute myocardial infarction (AMI‑PL) database are still unavailable. Aims: This study aimed to assess the 5‑year outcomes of patients discharged after hospitalization for AMI in Poland relation age. Methods: The studywas based on nationwide AMI‑PL registry including management and long‑term all admitted hospitals with (codes I21–I22 according International Classification Diseases Related Health Problems, 10th Revision [ICD ‑10]),...
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality; however, data suggest that in old age, obesity not detrimental. The study’s objective was to verify whether frequency still increases Polish Caucasian seniors the “obesity paradox”. Five thousand fifty-seven community-dwelling individuals aged ≥ 65 years completed a detailed medical questionnaire, underwent measurements body mass index (BMI) waist circumference (WC), evaluation physical cognitive performances. Over...
Polypharmacy is a challenging issue in geriatrics. The aim of the study was to characterize correlates polypharmacy PolSenior project. project, comprehensive survey large and longitudinal representative sample thePolish older population. project conducted by International Institute Molecular Cell Biology Warsaw between 2008 2011. All medications consumed during week preceding were evaluated for each participant (n = 4793, including 2314 females (48.3%)). Thereafter, percentage those with (at...
The aim of the work was to assess among pregnant women from small towns and villages in Poland: prevalence smoking, credibility influence socioeconomic factors on smoking status. data came 4512 interviews with different trimesters pregnancy. were collected 2007 2008 year up 8000 citizens 12 voivodeships. Prevalence beginning pregnancy confirmed by 34.6 % women. During 14.7 declared quitting 19.9 continued smoking. Cigarette most frequent those a primary education, unemployed, very low...
ARTICLE Polypharmacy in the Polish elderly population 1 Pharmacological therapy seniors is particularly complicated due to progressive aging -related changes metabolism and coexistence of multiple diseases that require complex drug regimens. 2Additionally, there has been a growing interest among older adults over -the -counter (OTC) drugs are widely available on pharmaceutical market. 3 The literature provides broad thorough description negative medical, economic, INTROduCTION A significant...
What's new?The results of our study clearly show that atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for death and cardiovascular hospitalization.Oral anticoagulation significantly reduces the in patients with de novo diagnosed AF.Thromboembolism prophylaxis still needs improvement, especially those who are at very high stroke.
Our research provides insight into the hypertension landscape among Poland's elderly, emphasizing a growing prevalence, especially in individuals over 80 years old, which surpasses prior estimates.Notably, while awareness and treatment of are commendably high, optimal control condition remains unsatisfactory for significant portion treated population.This challenge is particularly pronounced elderly women, who, despite being most demographic hypertension, show suboptimal rates.Our findings...
Mortality caused by coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke (IS) in Poland is still among the highest Europe. Because acute myocardial infarction (AMI) IS share major common risk factors, it would be expected that trends long-term mortality (LTM) incidence of these two diseases similar. Nevertheless, better AMI phase therapy older age patients make post-IS post-AMI prognosis difficult to compare. The aim study was verify thesis that, regardless sex, worse for than subjects. conducted...

The aim of this study was to assess the quality secondary ischemic stroke (IS) prevention among subjects after IS from selected urban areas Poland (Gdynia, G) and Ukraine (Lutsk, L). <i>Methods:</i> conducted on representative samples post-IS patients G L who suffered in years 2000–2005. A questionnaire, anthropometric blood pressure (BP) measurements laboratory tests were performed. <i>Results:</i> data 440 collected. Only 47% 58% (p < 0.05) had visited a...
Epidemiological data show that citizens of small towns and villages have presented worse trends in cardiovascular mortality during the political, social economic transformation Poland past 15 years than large towns. To try to eliminate these inequalities Polish 400 Cities Project (P400CP), a educational interventional project, was prepared. The project consists two arms: medical interventions. main aim screening intervention P400CP is increase detection control risk factors inhabitants 418...
