Objective: To assess the 12-month cost-effectiveness of the nurse-led transitional care program "Cardiolotse" (CL) for patients with cardiovascular diseases compared to usual care (UC).
Methods: A cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and cost-utility analysis (CUA) were conducted from the perspective of statutory health insurance (SHI), covering a time horizon of 12 months. Analyzed outcomes included the number of rehospitalizations and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Background: We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled, two-group parallel trial investigating the effectiveness of a care management program employing cardiac care navigators providing post-discharge support to patients compared to standard care.
Methods: The intervention commenced in 2019/2020 for 2862 patients hospitalized with heart failure, coronary heart disease, or cardiac arrhythmias in departments of cardiology across eight participating sites of a hospital group in Berlin, Germany. We analyzed the results using an intention-to-treat approach.
Background: We aimed to describe the event rates and risk-factors for symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major bleeding in a population of hospitalized acutely ill medical patients.
Methods: Patients ≥40 years old and hospitalized for acute medical illness who initiated enoxaparin prophylaxis were selected from the US Optum research database. Rates of symptomatic VTE and major bleeding at 90-days were estimated via the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method.
Article Synopsis
- * Research spanning over 30 years reveals significant variability in toxin production by Gambierdiscus, identifying specific "biodiversity hotspots" that contribute to high levels of ciguatoxic fish across different species.
- * Although there's been a general decline in CP cases, some islands still report high incidence rates, necessitating culturally aware risk management strategies to effectively address the disease's impact on local communities.
Background: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) is a superior predictor of adverse cardiac events in patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure. We investigated the ability of morphological features of infarcted myocardium to detect acute left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and predict LV functional recovery after three months in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: Sixty-six STEMI patients were included in the C-reactive protein (CRP) apheresis in Acute Myocardial Infarction Study (CAMI-1).
