This study investigated sex differences in clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of heart failure (HF) hospitalizations using the National Inpatient Sample data, 2016-2019. HF hospitalizations ≥ 41 years of age were included and stratified by sex. Study outcomes were in-hospital mortality, prolonged length of stay, mechanical ventilation, mechanical circulatory support, vasopressor use, and disposition other than home.

- * The review investigates various molecular changes in comorbidities linked to heart failure through extensive searches of multiple electronic databases.
- * Insights gained from these molecular pathways can lead to the development of targeted therapies and personalized medicine approaches, ultimately improving treatment outcomes for patients with heart failure and related conditions.
Frailty among stroke patients and its effects on hospital outcomes.

November 2024
Background: Although assessment of frailty is increasingly being included in routine practice, its effects on hospital outcomes is not well studied. In this study, we used a national database to estimate the effects of frailty on hospital outcomes among stroke patients.
Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database collected during the years 2016 to 2019.
Article Synopsis
- * The study, called PROACTIVE-HF, assessed the safety and effectiveness of this monitoring method in 456 patients with chronic heart failure across various centers in the US and Europe.
- * Results showed a 6-month event rate of 0.15 hospitalizations or deaths per patient, far below the goal of 0.43, with a very high safety rate for the device.
Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in patients at high cardiovascular risk. COVID-19 patients with underlying cardiovascular disease are at increased risk of poor clinical outcomes. In this study, we aimed to determine hospital outcomes among patients admitted with AF and COVID-19 infection.
