: Dual-pathway inhibition (DPI) with aspirin and rivaroxaban exhibited a net clinical benefit for patients with cardiovascular disease in the randomized COMPASS trial. The non-observational, international XATOA registry showed that the COMPASS results can be reproduced in clinical practice in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Here we report patient characteristics and clinical outcomes for the subgroup of German PAD patients of the XATOA registry and compare them to COMPASS PAD patients.

Evoked potential metrics extracted from an EEG exam can provide novel sources of information regarding brain function. While the P300 occurring around 300 ms post-stimulus has been extensively investigated in relation to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), with decreased amplitude and increased latency, the P200 response has not, particularly in an oddball-stimulus paradigm. This study compares the auditory P200 amplitudes between MCI (28 patients aged 74(8)) and non-MCI, (35 aged 72(4)).
