Valvular Heart Disease-Related Mortality Between Middle- and High-Income Countries During 2000 to 2019.
JACC Adv
December 2024
Division of Cardiac Surgery, St. Michael's Hospital of Unity Health Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Valvular heart disease (VHD) management has evolved rapidly in recent decades, but disparities in health care access persist among countries with varying socioeconomic backgrounds.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate global mortality trends from VHD and assess the difference between middle- and high-income countries.
Methods: We obtained mortality data from the World Health Organization Mortality Database for VHD and its subgroups (rheumatic valvular disease [RVD], infective endocarditis [IE], aortic stenosis [AS], and mitral regurgitation [MR]) from 2000 to 2019.
Metabolomic in severe traumatic brain injury: exploring primary, secondary injuries, diagnosis, and severity.
Crit Care
January 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, Cumming School of Medicine, Health Research Innovation Center (HRIC), University of Calgary, Room 4C64, 3280 Hospital Drive N.W., Calgary, AB, T2N 4Z6, Canada.
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern worldwide, contributing to high rates of injury-related death and disability. Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI), although it accounts for only 10% of all TBI cases, results in a mortality rate of 30-40% and a significant burden of disability in those that survive. This study explored the potential of metabolomics in the diagnosis of sTBI and explored the potential of metabolomics to examine probable primary and secondary brain injury in sTBI.

J Am Coll Cardiol
January 2025
British Heart Foundation Cardiovascular Research Centre, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, United Kingdom. Electronic address:
Background: An initial decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) often leads to reluctance to continue life-saving therapies in patients with heart failure (HF).
Objectives: The goal of this study was to describe the association between initial decline in eGFR and subsequent clinical outcomes in patients randomized to placebo or finerenone.
Methods: In this prespecified analysis of FINEARTS-HF (Finerenone Trial to Investigate Efficacy and Safety Superior to Placebo in Patients with Heart Failure), we examined the association between initial decline in eGFR (≥15%) from randomization to 1 month and subsequent outcomes in patients assigned to finerenone or placebo.
Opioid toxicity deaths in Indigenous people who experienced incarceration in Ontario, Canada 2015-2020: a whole population retrospective cohort study.
Lancet Reg Health Am
January 2025
Department of Family Medicine, McMaster University, Canada.
Background: While Indigenous people are overrepresented in Canada's prisons and in the toxic drug supply crisis, we lack data on the harms related to opioids for Indigenous people with experiences of incarceration. We aimed to examine opioid toxicity deaths in Indigenous peoples who experienced incarceration and to compare opioid toxicity mortality rates with rates for people with no incarceration.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study linked correctional data for all people who were incarcerated in provincial correctional facilities and coronial data for all people who died from opioid toxicity in Ontario, Canada between 2015 and 2020.
Lung Cancer Screening With Low-Dose CT: A Systematic Review.
Cureus
December 2024
Family Health Unit New Directions, Unidade Local de Saúde do Alto Ave, Vizela, PRT.
Lung cancer is highly prevalent worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Portugal. There is increasing evidence that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening reduces mortality; however, few countries have implemented screening strategies. This review aims to gather the best evidence to assess the relevance of implementing lung cancer screening.
