Background: Sparse information regarding the long-term risk of acute myocardial infarction (MI) following a transient ischemic attack (TIA) emphasizes further research to guide preventive strategies and risk stratification in patients with a TIA.
Methods: We conducted a nationwide cohort study to investigate the 5-year risk of MI and all-cause mortality in patients with a first-time TIA. Patients with a first-time TIA were identified in the Danish Stroke Registry (2013-2020), matched on age, sex, and calendar year (1:4) with the general population and (1:1) with patients with first-time ischemic stroke.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish more evidence to provide the clinicians with a greater knowledge on the patient reported outcomes and quality of life (QoL) after laparoscopic appendectomy (LA).
Method: 105 patients who had undergone LA for acute appendicitis regardless of severity, were included prospectively at Odense University Hospital, Svendborg. The patient reported consequence of surgery were assessed through the validated electronic survey from European-QoL questionnaire (5Q-5D-5L) including a self-reported VAS-score (0-100).
Background: There is a paucity of data on the prognostic impact of thyroid dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to examine the association between these two conditions in a nationwide cohort of patients with HF.
Methods: This Danish cohort study evaluated the thyroid function of patients diagnosed with first-time HF from 2000-2021.
