Incidence and correlates of mortality in adults with congenital heart disease of different age groups.
Int J Cardiol Congenit Heart Dis

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA.
Background: Aging is associated with acquired comorbidities that potentially influence the natural history and outcomes of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics, as well as the incidence and correlates of all-cause mortality between different age groups.
Method: Adults with CHD were categorized into 3 age groups based on age at baseline encounter: Group 1 (age 18-40 years); Group 2 (age 41-65 years), and Group 3 (age >65 years).

Cell salvage for the management of postpartum haemorrhage.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
December 2024
Liverpool Reviews and Implementation Group, Department of Health Data Science, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Rationale: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), defined as a blood loss of 500 mL or more within 24 hours of birth, is the leading global cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Allogenic blood transfusions are a critical component of PPH management, yet are often unfeasible, particularly in resource-poor settings where maternal morbidity is highest. Autologous cell salvage in the management of PPH has been proposed to combat limitations in access to allogenic blood and potential transfusion-related risks.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital disease characterized by the narrowing of the aorta, typically the descending portion after the left subclavian artery. If left untreated, by the time individuals reach 50 years of age, the mortality rate can reach 90%. Previous studies have highlighted the adverse effects of CoA on local hemodynamics.

Background: Palliative care (PC) is the standard of care for patients with serious medical illnesses, or those conditions associated with high risk of mortality and negative impact on quality of life (QOL). Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the gold standard treatment for certain psychiatric conditions, which may co-occur with serious medical illnesses. However, the use of "palliative ECT" (PECT) in this context is understudied.
