Variation in risk of adverse clinical outcomes patients with cancer and COVID-19 has been reported from relatively small cohorts. The NCATS' National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) is a centralized data resource representing the largest multicenter cohort cases controls nationwide. We aimed to construct characterize within N3C identify factors for all-cause mortality COVID-19.
Trajectories of mortality after primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement for older patients with heart failure during or soon acute hospitalization have not been assessed.
Abstract Background Anticoagulation (AC) utilization patterns and their predictors among hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have not been well described. Methods Using the National COVID Cohort Collaborative, we conducted a retrospective cohort study (2020–2022) to assess AC use identify factors associated with therapeutic employing modified Poisson regression. Results Among 162 842 COVID-19 patients, 64% received 24% AC. Therapeutic declined from 32% in 2020 12% 2022,...
1500 Background: The impact of COVID-19 has disproportionately affected every aspect cancer care and research—from introducing new risks for patients to disrupting the delivery treatment continuity research. Variation in risk adverse clinical outcomes by type been reported from relatively small cohorts. Gaps understanding effects on can be addressed through study a well-constructed representative cohort. NCATS’ National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) is centralized data resource...
Objective: A healthy diet is key to preventing and managing CVD. Despite clear AHA guidelines, eating can be difficult due misinformation. We investigated perceived vs. actual quality what contributes perceiving a poor ‘healthy’. Methods: identified adults aged > 19 in 2005-2018 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Healthy was defined as answering “excellent” or “very good” “how the diet?”. assessed by calculating Diet Score based on 24-hour dietary recall scaled raw score...
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement in heart failure (HF) patients during or early after (≤90 days) unplanned cardiovascular hospitalizations has been associated with poor outcomes. Racial and ethnic differences this "peri-hospitalization" ICD have not well described.Using a 20% random sample of Medicare beneficiaries, we identified older (≥66 years) HF who underwent for primary prevention from 2008 to 2018. We investigated racial frequency peri-hospitalization using...
Introduction: Extreme cold was associated with excess heart failure (HF) deaths in ecological studies. The relationship between colder temperatures and HF hospitalizations is not well understood. Hypothesis: Lower minimum (T min ) increase the risk of hospitalization among older adults impact varies by climate regions. Methods: A time-stratified case-crossover study aged ≥66 hospitalized for conducted using a 20% sample Medicare data (2008-2019, Nov-Feb). Daily T from Parameter-elevation...
Background: A trend of warmer nights and higher daily minimum temperatures (T min ) during summer is a leading indicator climate change. The impact increased T on hospitalizations in low-income older adults with heart failure (HF) remains unknown. Hypothesis: Higher increases the risk HF hospitalization among patients will be more impacted. Methods: We conducted time-stratified case-crossover study (age ≥ 66 years) hospitalized for months (May-Sept) between 2008-2019 using 20% Medicare data....
Introduction: Elective ICD placement is efficacious for patients with chronic stable HF. during or shortly after HF hospitalizations has been associated worse outcomes. However, the impact of in relation to non-HF unknown. Methods: We identified all ICDs placed among older (age ≥ 66) without prior cardiac arrest using 20% random sample Medicare data (2008-2018). Setting was classified as: unplanned 1) hospitalization 2) hospitalization, within ≤ 3 months 3) 4) 5) electively planned as...
Introduction: Racial and ethnic disparities in ICD use for primary prevention among HF patients have dissipated recent years. While who received ICDs non-electively during unplanned or shortly after acute hospitalization were shown to worse outcomes, racial such non-elective placement not been described. Methods: We identified older (age≥66) with placements 20% random sample Medicare data (2008-2018) defined as: 1) - (<3 month) 2) elective planned as ambulatory procedure. described the...
Abstract Older age has been consistently associated with adverse COVID-19 outcomes. Frailty, a syndrome characterized by declining function across multiple body systems is common in older adults and may increase vulnerability to outcomes among patients. However, the impacts of frailty on management, severity, or have not well large, representative US population. Using National COVID Cohort Collaborative, multi-institutional repository for research, we calculated Hospital Frailty Risk Score...
