The ADRS (Abu Dhabi Risk Study) is a retrospective cohort study aiming to develop 10-year risk prediction equations for coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and validate international risk equations.
Methods And Results: The 8699 participants were examined in the Abu Dhabi cardiovascular screening program from 2011 to 2013 with a subsequent average follow-up of 9.
Background: Preventing high blood pressure and its complications requires identifying its risk factors. This study assessed predictors of hypertension and its associated complications among Emirati adults in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted by retrieving data from the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) of Emiratis who participated in a national cardiovascular screening program between 2011 and 2013.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of ab externo canaloplasty in Polish Caucasian patients with glaucoma over a three-year follow-up, focusing on intraocular pressure and medication use.
- - Results showed a significant reduction in mean intraocular pressure from 19.23 mmHg to 14.52 mmHg and a decrease in medication burden, with 58.7% achieving complete success by the end of the study.
- - Common complications included incomplete cannulation and hyphema, but overall, the procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile with few needing additional surgery or medication afterward.
