Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often detected for the first time in patients who are hospitalized another reason. Long-term risks AF recurrence these unclear. Objective: To estimate risk with new-onset during a hospitalization noncardiac surgery or medical illness compared matched population without AF. Design: Matched cohort study. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03221777) Setting: Three academic hospitals Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Participants: The study enrolled had transient For each...
Objective: To estimate the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation in critically ill patients. Design: Prospective cohort. Setting: Medical-surgical ICU. Subjects: Consecutive patients without a history but with risk factors. Interventions: Electrocardiogram patch monitor until discharge from hospital or up to 14 days. Measurements and Main Results: A total 249 participants (median age 71 yr [interquartile range] 64–78 yr; 35% female) completed study protocol which 158 (64%) were admitted...
Atrial fibrillation occurring transiently with stress (AFOTS) describes the first detection of AF in a patient who is hospitalized for non‐cardiac medical illness or following surgery. Uncertainty exists whether episodes AFOTS are due to reversible precipitants and will not recur after recovery, if they paroxysmal atrial (AF) that detected during inpatient cardiac monitoring. Previous studies have used retrospective, non‐systematic ultimately low‐sensitivity protocols investigate recurrence...
Intraoperative parathyroid hormone (iPTH) monitoring is standard-of-care in the surgical management of hyperparathyroidism. It involves real-time determination circulating PTH levels to guide gland excision. There exists several iPTH criteria, such as Miami and a lack standardization timing post-parathyroid excision samples. We present protocol systematic review network meta-analysis diagnostic test accuracy identify criteria post-gland timepoint that best predicts cure The database search...
