Article Synopsis
- This study looked at why some people get a kind of kidney injury called community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) when they visit the hospital.
- It found that taking certain over-the-counter pain relievers, especially nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can make people more likely to get CA-AKI.
- The researchers also noted that things like vomiting, diarrhea, diabetes, and smoking may increase the risk of this kidney injury, showing that both health problems and some medicines can be important to consider.
Introduction: Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) has been standard treatment for patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) but percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be a good alternative. Our aim was to evaluate revascularization of LMCAD-patients in Iceland and treatment changes in recent years. We also assessed the impact of patient background factors on treatment choice and long-term survival.

Our aim was to assess the revascularization treatment of diabetics with CAD in Iceland from 2010-2020, changes in management and long-term survival of patients.
Methods: All patients in Iceland with diabetes and CAD on cardiac catheterization 2010-2020 were included in this retrospective, population-based study.
