Health related QoL in celiac disease patients in Slovenia.

Background: Measurements of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among celiac disease patients using a validated questionnaire have been lacking in Slovenia. This study aims to measure HRQoL in celiac disease (CD) patients using EQ-5D internationally validated questionnaire and comparing it to the HRQoL of the general population.

Methods: In this cross sectional analysis all of the approximately 2000 members of the Slovenian Celiac Society were invited to take part.

Acute kidney injury in patients with myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention using radial versus femoral access.

Background: Data on radial access (RA) as an independent risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) in myocardial infarction (MI) patients are conflicting. Our aim was to assess how RA influences the incidence of AKI in MI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: Data from 3842 MI patients undergoing PCI at our institution from January 2011 to December 2016, of which 35.

Influence of minor deterioration of renal function after PCI on outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Objectives: Our aim was to assess the possible impact of a deterioration of renal function (DRF) not fulfilling the criteria for acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on 30-day and long-term outcomes.

Background: Data is lacking on the influence of DRF after PCI on outcome in patients with STEMI.

Methods: The present study is an analysis of 2572 STEMI patients who underwent PCI.

Sex-Related 30-Day and Long-Term Mortality in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Treated with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: The data on sex as an independent risk factor for death in acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients are still contrasting. The aim was to assess how sex influences 30-day and long-term all-cause mortality in MI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Materials And Methods: Data from 3624 MI patients undergoing PCI at our institution from January 2009 to December 2014, 30.

An Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQOL) in Older Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 in Slovenia.

Objective: This article reports a study to measure diabetes-dependent quality of life (QOL) in older Slovenian patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2).

Methods: A cross-sectional study of older (age ≥ 65 years) patients with DMT2 at outpatient diabetic centers was conducted in all regions in Slovenia. The Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life questionnaire was carried out between January and May 2012.
