Abstract Background We have previously described a method for dealing with missing data in prospective cardiac registry initiative. The involves merging to corresponding ICD-9-CM administrative fill 'holes'. Here, we describe the process of translating our solution ICD-10, and then validating its performance. Methods A multi-step translation was undertaken produce an ICD-10 algorithm, implemented complete datasets 1995–2001 based on coding 2002–2005 algorithm. used patients undergoing...
We determined the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) in our anorexia nervosa (AN) patient population.We used a cross-sectional design to study an inception cohort (1981-2000) drawn from provincial tertiary care eating disorders program at St. Paul's Hospital (British Columbia, Canada). All patients who completed their initial assessment for disorder were included study. Vital status, date and cause of death British Columbia Statistics Agency, assessment, birth, diagnosis time collected each...
Most data on mortality and prognostic factors in patients with heart failure come from North America Europe, little information other regions. Here, the International Congestive Heart Failure (INTER-CHF) study, we aimed to measure at 1 year Africa, China, India, Middle East, southeast Asia South America; also explored demographic, clinical, socioeconomic variables associated mortality.We enrolled consecutive (3695 [66%] clinic outpatients, 2105 [34%] hospital patients) 108 centres six...
Recent research has identified younger women as an "at-risk" population with rising prevalence of cardiac risk factors and excess mortality following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, population-based data on trends in AMI hospitalization early post among adults is scarce. We, therefore, aimed to provide a 10-year, descriptive analysis these Canadian setting.We assessed sex differences 30-day rates using negative binomial logistic regression, respectively. From 2000 2009, there...
Purpose . To compare the corneal biomechanical properties of keratoconic patients and age-matched controls using visualization Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST). Methods Sixty eyes from 47 keratoconus 60 normal were enrolled in this prospective study. Tomography parameters all obtained with Pentacam Corvis ST, respectively. Intraocular pressure was measured a Goldmann applanation tonometer. Results. The tomography corneas significantly different those except for anterior chamber angle,...
Abstract Background Health administrative data are frequently used for health services and population research. Comparative research using these has been facilitated by the use of a standard system coding diagnoses, International Classification Diseases (ICD). Research must deal with quality validity limitations which arise because not created purposes. This paper presents list high-priority methodological areas researchers data. Methods A group users from Canada, United States, Switzerland,...
Background— There are no randomized trials comparing outcomes after mitral valve (MV) repair and replacement. Propensity scoring is a powerful tool that has the potential to reduce selection bias in nonrandomized studies. Methods— From BC Cardiac Registries, 2 060 patients presented for MV surgery, with or without CABG between 1991 2000. We then identified 322 repairs who were matched by propensity score an equal number of replacement patients. compared survival freedom from re-operation...
Long-term patterns of depressive symptoms among patients with heart failure, specifically those a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and their relationship prognoses are not well studied. This analysis included 609 participants from the TOPCAT (Treatment Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure an Aldosterone Antagonist) trial. Depressive were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) at baseline 1-year, 2-year 3-year intervals. Individual trajectory based on PHQ-9 scores...
Abstract. Objective: To develop a clinical prediction rule to identify patients who can be safely discharged one hour after the administration of naloxone for presumed opioid overdose. Methods: Patients received known or overdose were formally evaluated later multiple potential predictor variables. classified into two groups: those with adverse events within 24 hours and without. Using classification regression tree methodology, decision was developed predict safe discharge. Results:...
The ideal strategy for cerebral protection during aortic arch (AA) reconstructive surgery remains undefined. Antegrade perfusion (ACP) systemic circulatory arrest (SCA) may provide superior results; however, optimal temperature is undetermined. Our objective was to determine whether "deep" hypothermia necessary ACP with SCA, and the degree of associated neurologic outcomes postoperatively.Retrospective series 72 consecutive patients (aged 65.9 +/- 3.2 years) who underwent AA at Vancouver...
Abstract Objectives : To construct a calculator to assess the risk of 30‐day mortality following PCI. Background Predictors are commonly used aid management decisions for cardiac surgical patients. There is need an equivalent risk‐score percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as many patients suitable both procedures. Methods The British Columbia Cardiac Registry (BCCR) population‐based registry that collects information on all PCI procedures performed in (BC). We data from BCCR identify...
Vascular calcification is one of the common complications in diabetes mellitus. Many studies have shown that high glucose (HG) caused cardiovascular calcification, but its underlying mechanism not fully understood. Recently, medial has been most commonly described vessels patients with diabetes. Chondrocytes were involved calcification. Recent conversion into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) could be triggered chondrocytes. Our previous research...
Fatigue is a common symptom reported by patients with end-stage renal disease, and it can significantly decrease patients' quality of life. A brief convenient fatigue assessment tool needed for Chinese on maintenance dialysis.To determine the psychometric characteristics version Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) in receiving dialysis.The FACIT-Fatigue was obtained from FACIT system. Test-retest reliability this scale examined using intraclass correlation...
This study aims to examine the association between Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)-12 score and 30-day 1-year rates of composite events cardiovascular death heart failure (HF) rehospitalization in patients with acute HF.Few studies reported prognostic effects KCCQ HF.This prospectively enrolled adult hospitalized for HF from 52 hospitals China collected KCCQ-12 within 48 hour index admission. The used multivariable Cox regression was further stratified by new-onset acutely...
The joint contribution of sex, ethnicity, and initial clinical presentation to the long-term outcomes patients undergoing coronary angiography for acute syndrome (ACS) or stable angina, in whom there is angiographic evidence obstructive artery disease, remains unknown.We conducted a population-based cohort study on 49 556 adult ACS angina with disease (≥ 50% stenosis) British Columbia. 2-year composite outcome was all-cause death hospital readmissions myocardial infarction, heart failure,...
Abstract Objective While sex differences in the treatment and outcomes of subjects with acute coronary syndromes are well documented, little is known about impact cardiac troponin ( cT n) levels obtained emergency department ED ) on observed differences. We sought to determine whether n by chest pain features modify diagnosis, treatment, patients presenting suggestive ischemia. Methods All adults two hospitals Vancouver, Canada, between May 2008 March 2013 ischemic testing were included...
Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of T 1 rho mapping in myocardium at 3T and to determine whether could better characterize myocardial injury end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients compared 2 mapping. Materials Methods mapping, were performed on 35 healthy volunteers (15 males, 20 females, 40.7 ± 13.6 years) 32 ESRD (16 16 48.6 11.9 years). The mean rho, , values using Student's t ‐test correlated with cardiac function parameters, including peak ejection rate (PER), short‐axis percent...
