Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on atrial fibrillation (AF) patients starting vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy to determine the effect of comorbidities, frailty, and malnutrition on clinical outcomes.
- The research found that a majority of patients had multiple health issues, and frailty significantly increased the risks for major bleeding and death, while malnutrition heightened the risk for strokes and overall mortality.
- These findings underline the importance of addressing these factors in AF patients to improve their health outcomes during VKA treatment.
Introduction: With the increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), it entails expanding oral anticoagulants (OACs) use, carrying a higher risk of associated hemorrhagic events, including intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Despite advances in OACs development with a better safety profile and reversal agent for these anticoagulants, there is still no consensus on the optimal management of patients with OACs-associated ICH.
Areas Covered: In this review, the authors have carried out an exhaustive search on the advances in recent years.
The global shortage and inequitable distribution of neurologists has led to significant gaps not only in neurology care, but also in neurology education. In order to increase access to neurology education, we developed neurology virtual morning report (NVMR), a virtual, open-access, case-based clinical reasoning conference available to learners worldwide. To evaluate NVMR's impact on participants' perception of, interest in, and confidence in neurology, we conducted a survey.
