Study Objectives: To evaluate prevalence of sedative hypnotic medications and their potential indication among active duty service members (ADSM) and non-ADSM receiving care in the Military Health System (MHS).
Methods: Using a retrospective cohort study design, we extracted data on sedative hypnotic medications (benzodiazepine receptor agonists, benzodiazepines, sedating antidepressants, and melatonin receptor agonist) dispensed from January 2009 to December 2015. Prevalence was defined as ≥ 1 dispensing per patient per year whereas chronic episode was categorized as ≥ 90 days of continuous therapy.
Aims: Renal dysfunction is associated with poor cardiovascular outcome. We investigated the relationship of kidney function and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high risk myocardial infarction.
Methods And Results: We studied 27 610 patients from four randomized trials of acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure and/or LV dysfunction (LVEF ≤40%).
Objectives: To examine the prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and the relationship between PAD and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in subjects with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, heart failure or both after acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Background: PAD is associated with poorer prognosis in patients with stable and unstable coronary heart disease but whether PAD is associated with worse outcomes following substantial acute MI is unknown.
Methods: Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to compare clinical outcomes in an individual-patient meta-analysis of 4 trials (CAPRICORN, EPHESUS, OPTIMAAL and VALIANT).
