Background: Clotrimazole troches are used as prophylaxis against oropharyngeal candidiasis post-transplant and have limited systemic absorption. Following several occurrences of tacrolimus concentration fluctuations after clotrimazole discontinuation, its use as prophylaxis was discontinued post-kidney transplant.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the effect of clotrimazole prophylaxis on tacrolimus trough concentrations post-kidney transplant.
Background: Clinical practice guidelines provide recommendations for surgical prophylaxis in patients undergoing cardiothoracic procedures. However, currently no recommendations guide the management of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients who require delayed sternal closure after cardiothoracic operation.
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective analysis.
Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy is a mainstay of care for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients; however, uncertainty exists in real-world practice about comparative effectiveness and safety outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate outcomes of different oral P2Y12 inhibitors in PCI patients.
Methods: We retrospectively studied patients treated between July 1, 2010, and December 31, 2013.
