Influence of the Danish Co-morbidity Index Score on the Treatment and Outcomes of 2.5 Million Patients Admitted With Acute Myocardial Infarction in the United States.

This study aimed to determine the association between the Danish Co-morbidity Index for Acute Myocardial Infarction (DANCAMI) and restricted DANCAMI (rDANCAMI) scores and clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized with AMI. Using the National Inpatient Sample, all AMI hospitalizations were stratified into four groups based on their DANCAMI and rDANCAMI score (0; 1 to 3; 4 to 5; ≥6). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, whereas secondary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events, major bleeding, ischemic stroke, and receipt of coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention.

Emergency department cardiovascular disease encounters and associated mortality in patients with cancer: A study of 20.6 million records from the USA.

Background: there is limited data on Emergency department (ED) cardiovascular disease (CVD) presentations and outcomes amongst cancer patients.

Objectives: The present study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, prevalence, and clinical outcomes of the most common cardiovascular ED admissions in patients with cancer.

Methods: All ED encounters with a primary CVD diagnosis from the US Nationwide Emergency Department Sample between January 2016 to December 2018 were stratified by cancer type as well as metastatic status.

Risk for Myocardial Infarction Following 5-Fluorouracil Treatment in Patients With Gastrointestinal Cancer: A Nationwide Registry-Based Study.

Background: Myocardial infarction is a cardiac adverse event associated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). There are limited data on the incidence, risk, and prognosis of 5-FU-associated myocardial infarction.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the risk for myocardial infarction in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer treated with 5-FU compared with age- and sex-matched population control subjects without cancer (1:2 ratio).

Treatment profiles in a Danish psychiatric university hospital department.

Background: Despite concerns about rising treatment of psychiatric patients with psychotropic medications and declining treatment with psychotherapy, actual treatment profiles of psychiatric patients are largely unknown.

Aims: To describe patterns in the treatment of patients in a large psychiatric university hospital department.

Methods: A descriptive mapping of treatment of in- and outpatients in a psychiatric department at Aarhus University Hospital Risskov, Denmark.

Quality of life and clinical characteristics in a nonselected sample of patients with schizophrenia.

Background: Patients with schizophrenia experience low quality of life (QOL).

Aims: To examine QOL in these patients and the relation between QOL and illness duration, adjusted daily doses (ADDs) of antipsychotics, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and smoking.

Methods: In this naturalistic, cross-sectional study, 82 patients were interviewed about smoking habits.

Increasing incidence and diagnostic instability in adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder nationwide between 1995 and 2012.

Increasing numbers of adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients are reported. Co-occurring disorders are reported, and treatment with pharmacological stimulants (PS) increases. The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence of adult ADHD in Denmark between 1995 and 2012 and the diagnostic stability and the diagnoses of patients contraindicating treatment with PS.
