Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors and beta-blockers on older patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF).
- It analyzes data from 1,061 patients, revealing that while RAS inhibitors notably lower mortality rates, beta-blocker benefits vary significantly with age, showing effectiveness in those under 80 but not in older patients.
- Overall, the findings suggest that age should be a critical factor when prescribing beta-blockers for HFrEF patients, pointing to a need for tailored treatment strategies.
Objectives: This study investigated the association between hyponatremia and falls in elderly hospitalized patients, focusing on mild hyponatremia as a potential risk factor.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 16,952 patients admitted to Kochi Medical School Hospital from 2012 to 2021 was performed. Serum sodium levels were categorized, and falls during a 30-day observation period were recorded.
Objectives: To examine whether the Areal Deprivation Index (ADI), an indicator of the socioeconomic status of the community the patient resides in, is associated with delayed arrival at the hospital and poor outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke from a prefecture-wide stroke database in Japan.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Twenty-nine acute stroke hospitals in Kochi prefecture, Japan.
