Article Synopsis
- * Out of 200,130 burn hospitalizations, only 1% (1997 patients) developed acute MI, mainly affecting older men with cardiovascular risk factors; burns greater than 20% BSA or affecting the trunk/respiratory tract increased MI risk.
- * Patients with MI had a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate (18.7% vs. 3% for those without MI), and interventions like revascularization decreased mortality rates.
Background: Data on outcomes of patients with high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) transferred from other hospitals are scarce.
Methods: We queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database for admissions who were ≥18 years old, and with a primary discharge diagnosis of acute high-risk PE between the years 2016 and 2019. The main outcome of interest was the difference in all-cause in-hospital mortality between patients admitted directly to small/medium hospitals; patients admitted directly to large hospitals; and patients transferred to large hospitals.
Objective: To examine the characteristics and outcomes among patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) and malignancy.
Patients And Methods: The Nationwide Readmissions Database was used to identify hospitalizations with high-risk PE from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019. The main outcome was the difference in all-cause in-hospital mortality.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the outcomes of "polypill" therapy in cardiovascular disease prevention have yielded mixed results. We performed an electronic search through January 2023 for RCTs that examined the use of polypills for cardiovascular disease primary or secondary prevention. The primary outcome was the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs).
