Objective: The study sought to evaluate outcomes and predictors of mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Background: TAVI registries can reliably address outcomes and issues that adversely affect results in real-life.

Methods: All endpoints and complications were analyzed according to Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria.

Results: Between January 2008 and January 2013, 418 patients underwent TAVI in 18 centers and were included in the Brazilian registry. The transfemoral approach was used in 96.2% of the procedures. The CoreValve and Sapien XT prosthesis were used in 360 (86.1%) and 58 (13.9%) cases, respectively. All-cause mortality at 30 days and 1 year were 9.1 and 21.5%. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (HR: 3.50), acute kidney injury (AKI) (HR: 3.07), stroke (HR: 2.71) and moderate/severe paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) (HR: 2.76) emerged as independent predictors of overall mortality. COPD (OR: 3.00), major vascular complications (OR: 7.99) and device malpositioning (OR: 6.97) were predictors of early (≤30 days) mortality, while COPD (HR: 2.68), NYHA class III/IV (HR: 3.04), stroke (HR: 4.15), AKI (HR: 2.44) and moderate/severe PVR (HR: 3.20) impacted late (>30 days) mortality. The use of transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) to monitor the procedure was found to be a protective factor against overall (HR: 0.57) and late (HR: 0.47) mortality.

Conclusion: This multicenter registry reflected a real-life national TAVI experience. Comorbidities, periprocedural complications and moderate/severe PVR were associated with increased mortality and the use of TEE to monitor the procedure acted as a protective factor.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a global public health concern and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Insulin resistance (IR) plays a crucial role in HTN-related metabolic dysfunction, but its assessment remains challenging. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its derivatives (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR) have emerged as reliable IR markers.

Trends and determinants of maternal health services utilization in India from 2015 to 2021.

Sci Rep

Continuum of care (CoC) in maternal health services refers to a pathway spanning from pregnancy and childbirth to post-pregnancy, covering routine antenatal care (ANC), institutional delivery (ID), and post-natal services (PNC). The current study aims to investigate the distribution, trends, dropouts, and determinants of maternal health services (ANC, ID, and PNC) utilization along the CoC pathway using NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 datasets from 2015 to 2021. The binary logistic regression examined the association between the continuum of maternal health services utilization and the predictor variables.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent form of liver cancer, and ranks among the most lethal malignancies globally, primarily due to its high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Despite the urgency, no reliable biomarkers currently exist for predicting tumor recurrence in HCC. Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations (TERTpm) and cellular tumor antigen p53 mutations (TP53m) have been frequently documented in HCC, but their combined clinical significance remains undefined.

Background: The association between coronary microcirculation and clinical outcomes in patients with intermediate stenosis remains unclear.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR) in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis.

Methods: This post hoc analysis included 1,658 patients from the FLAVOUR (Fractional Flow Reserve and Intravascular Ultrasound for Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Intermediate Stenosis) trial, with angio-IMR measured in each vessel exhibiting intermediate stenosis.
