<h3>Importance</h3> Guidelines currently recommend ticagrelor over clopidogrel for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) based on randomized clinical trial data in which reduced major adverse events (MACE) vs but increased bleeding and dyspnea. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare the risk of MACE ACS treated percutaneous intervention (PCI), to dyspnea, evaluate association between P2Y<sub>12</sub>inhibitor adherence MACE. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Population-based cohort study...
To develop a clinical practice guideline to support the management of chronic pain, including low back, osteoarthritic, and neuropathic pain in primary care.The was developed with an emphasis on best available evidence shared decision-making principles. Ten health professionals (4 generalist family physicians, 1 management-focused physician, anesthesiologist, physical therapist, pharmacist, nurse practitioner, psychologist), patient representative, nonvoting pharmacist methodologist...

Abstract Aims Post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) P2Y12 inhibitor non-adherence is common and associated with greater risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Non-adherence can follow different trajectories from an inability to initiate, implement, or continue therapy for the intended duration. We aimed evaluate adherence among ACS patients treated percutaneous intervention (PCI), their frequency, association MACE. Methods results conducted a cohort study adults discharged alive...
Background: While the effect of various combinations treatments on mortality and morbidity outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have been evaluated, impact quality life is unknown. This study evaluated compared composite pharmacological therapies HFrEF using a frequentist network meta analysis systematic review methodology. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials for randomized controlled trials published between January...
Importance Shared decision-making (SDM) is a key component of the provision ethical care, but prior reviews have indicated that clinical practice guidelines seldom promote or facilitate SDM. It currently unknown whether these findings extend to contemporary cardiovascular guidelines. Objective To identify and characterize integration SDM in guideline recommendations using systematic classification system. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study assessed latest subsequent...
