Background And Aims: The importance of risk stratification in patients with chest pain extends beyond diagnosis and immediate treatment. This study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of electrocardiogram feature-based machine learning models to risk-stratify all-cause mortality in those with chest pain.
Methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study of consecutive, non-traumatic patients with chest pain.
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.

The Confidential Review of Maternal Deaths (CRMD) found that thrombosis was one of the major causes of maternal deaths in Kerala. This study investigates the major risk factor - obesity and its association with thrombosis in our study setting, along with other risk factors.

December 2024
Cardiovascular Research Center, College of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China).
Background: Supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) confers a paradoxically higher mortality risk; however, whether intrinsic structural changes of left ventricle (LV) play an important role remain unclear.
Objectives: The authors sought to investigate the prognostic implication of supranormal LVEF and its interaction with LV concentric remodeling.
Methods: Consecutive participants undergoing echocardiography in a tertiary medical center with LVEF >60% were included.
