Digital health interventions in adult intensive care and recovery after critical illness to promote survivorship care.

Digital health refers to the field of using and developing technology to improve health outcomes. Digital health and digital health interventions (DHIs) within the area of intensive care and critical illness survivorship are rapidly evolving. Digital health interventions refer to technologies in clinical interventional format.

Discontinuation of SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA among persons with Type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease treated in US cardiology clinics.

Background: SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA are recommended for persons with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD); for those prescribed, little is known about reasons for discontinuation.

Methods: From the COORDINATE-Diabetes randomized trial database, the frequency and reasons for discontinuation of SGLT2i or GLP-1RA were analyzed.

Results: 1045 participants were enrolled 7/2019 to 5/2022; 290 (27.

Mortality after high-risk myocardial infarction over the last 20 years: Insights from the VALIANT and PARADISE-MI trials.

Aims: The temporal changes in clinical profiles and outcomes of high-risk myocardial infarction survivors enrolled in clinical trials are poorly described. This study compares mortality rates, baseline characteristics, and the prognostic impact of therapies among participants of the VALIANT and PARADISE-MI trials.

Methods And Results: Exclusively VALIANT participants who matched the inclusion criteria of the PARADISE-MI trial were included in the analysis.

Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy After Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure: Insights From the CONNECT-HF.

Background: Significant gap remains in the implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients with heart failure after a hospitalization. We aimed to evaluate the use and titration of GDMT at discharge and over a 12-month period after hospital discharge and to identify factors associated with GDMT use and titration.

Methods And Results: The CONNECT-HF (Care Optimization Through Patient and Hospital Engagement Clinical Trial for Heart Failure) trial evaluated the effect of a hospital and postdischarge quality improvement intervention in participants with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Home-Based Exercise and Self-Management After Lung Cancer Resection: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Patients with lung cancer have poor physical functioning and quality of life. Despite promising outcomes for those who undertake exercise programs, implementation into practice of previously tested hospital-based programs is rare.

Objective: To evaluate a home-based exercise and self-management program for patients after lung resection.
