Independent Risk Factors for Prolonged Tube Feeding After Endotracheal Intubation and Ventilation.

Purpose: Postextubation dysphagia (PED) can lead to prolonged tube feeding, but risk factors associated with prolonged tube feeding in this population are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify factors independently associated with prolonged tube feeding in adult inpatients who required intubation and mechanical ventilation.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study in a dataset of 1.

A Population-Based Study of Simvastatin Drug-Drug Interactions in Cardiovascular Disease Patients.

Simvastatin is a commonly used medication for lipid management and cardiovascular disease, however, the risk of adverse events (AEs) with its use increases via drug-drug interaction (DDI) exposures. Patients were extracted if initially diagnosed with cardiovascular disease and newly initiated simvastatin therapy. The cohort was divided into a DDI-exposed group and a non-DDI exposed group.
