Background Liver cirrhotic patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation have been excluded from randomized clinical studies regarding oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention. Whether non–vitamin K antagonist ( NOAC s) are superior to warfarin these remains unclear. Methods and Results This nationwide retrospective cohort study, data collected the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, enrolled 2428 liver taking apixaban (n=171), dabigatran (n=535), rivaroxaban (n=732), or...
Abstract Background Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) reduces the risk of hard cardiovascular endpoints in type diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with/without established diseases. Whether SGLT2i is associated with a lower new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) T2DM unclear. We aimed to evaluate AF use compared dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4i) among longitudinal cohort diabetic patients. Methods used medical data from multi-center healthcare provider Taiwan, which included total...
Background Surgery for tricuspid valve ( TV ) diseases is associated with poor prognosis, but few studies have described the long‐term outcomes by comparing repair and replacement in isolated concomitant surgeries separately. Methods Results Between 2000 2013, adult patients who underwent or were identified from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Outcomes of interest included all‐cause mortality, composite outcome, readmission attributable to any cause. Inverse probability...
ObjectivesThe feasibility and long-term outcomes of mitral valve (MV) repair in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) remain unclear.MethodsUsing Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified 1999 who underwent MV surgery for IE during 2000 to 2013. The were more likely have undergone replacement (1575 patients; 78.8%) than (424 21.2%). After 1:1 propensity score matching, 352 each group included analysis. Perioperative late composite end points, comprising...
Objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with short-term and long-term adverse outcomes. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE), EuroSCORE II, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score Age, Creatinine Ejection Fraction (ACEF) score, have been widely used predicting operative risk cardiac surgery. aim this study to investigate discriminant ability among current available models in postoperative AKI....
BackgroundThe correlation between severity and long-term outcomes of pediatric myocarditis have been reported, however this in adults has rarely studied. Materials MethodsThis nationwide population-based cohort study used data from the National Health Insurance Research Database Taiwan.Patients aged < 75 > 18 years admitted to an intensive care unit due acute were enrolled divided into three groups according mechanical circulatory support (MCS) after excluding major comorbidities.All-cause...
Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening emergency. However, the heritability and association of family history with late outcomes are unclear. The purpose this study was to evaluate effect AD on incidence prognosis estimate environmental contribution in Taiwan. Both cross-sectional cohort studies were conducted using Taiwan National Health Insurance database. A registry parent–offspring relationship algorithm used reconstruct genealogy population for estimation. included 23,868 patients...
<h3>Importance</h3> The associations between long-term treatment of aortic dissection with various medications and late patient outcomes are poorly understood. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare after use β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or other antihypertensive (controls) among patients treated for dissection. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This population-based retrospective cohort study using the National Health...
This study aimed to examine the differences in anxiety and depression between infertile Chinese couples diverse stages of vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) their relationship with IVF-ET outcomes.From February 2016 December 2018, a total 247 that were undergoing randomly selected for this study. On day they started treatment (T1), human chorionic gonadotropin was administered (T2), 4 days after embryo (T3), self-designed questionnaires, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Depression Scale...
Abstract Background Although a few meta-analyses were conducted to compare the risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) between sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), and other anti-hyperglycemic agents using indirect or direct comparison, above analyses showed conflicting results with each other. We aimed evaluate new-onset AF associated use SGLT2i, GLP-1RA, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4i) among large longitudinal cohort...
IntroductionAcute kidney disease (AKD) represents a continuum of injury for 7 to 90 days after acute (AKI). The incidence and prognosis AKD decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are currently unclear. aims this study were explore the transition from AKI AKD, identify risk factors develop prediction model any-stage evaluate AKD.MethodsA total 7519 patients admitted ADHF between January 1, 2008, December 31, 2018, multi-institutional database identified. composite outcomes stage 3 all-cause...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment. The aim this study was to elucidate the long-term outcomes adult patients with AKI who receive ECMO.The analyzed encrypted datasets from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. data 3251 received first-time ECMO treatment between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2013, were analyzed. Characteristics compared required dialysis for (D-AKI) those did not in order evaluate...
<h3>Importance</h3> Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been adopted rapidly for treating traumatic thoracic injury (TAI). The long-term durability and efficacy remain unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the outcomes of those open (OR) TAI. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This nationwide cohort study used Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database to evaluate patients with TAI between January 1, 2004, December 31, 2013. single-payer program covered more than 99.9%...
<h3>Importance</h3> It is unclear whether the clinical benefits associated with non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are similar to those low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) in Asian individuals cancer and acute venous thromboembolism (VTE). <h3>Objective</h3> To compare risk of recurrent thromboembolic events bleeding use a NOAC vs LMWH enoxaparin cancer-associated VTE. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cohort study was conducted using data from Chang Gung...
Background and Purpose: Data on clinical outcomes for nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOACs) warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation cancer are limited, active were excluded from randomized trials. We investigated the effectiveness safety NOACs versus among cancer. Methods: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified a total of 6274 1681 consecutive taking June 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017, respectively....
When mitral valve (MV) surgery is indicated, repair preferred over replacement; however, this preference not supported by evidence from clinical trials. Furthermore, the benefits of MV may be universal for all etiologies disease.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is associated with short-term and long-term adverse outcomes. Novel biomarkers have been identified for the early detection of AKI; however, examining these in every patient who undergoes prohibitively expensive. Society Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Age, Creatinine, Ejection Fraction (ACEF) scores proven to predict mortality bypass surgery. The aim this study was determine whether can be used AKI mitral valve repair.Between January 2010 December...
