Inpatient Enhanced Multidisciplinary Care Effects on the Quality of Life for Parkinson Disease: A Quasi-Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: To compare the effects of inpatient enhanced multidisciplinary care (EMC) and multidisciplinary rehabilitation (MR) on the symptoms and quality of life (QOL) of patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and to clarify the relation between reduction in symptoms and the improved QOL.

Methods: This study was a quasi-randomized controlled (alternate allocation), assessor-blinded, single-center study. We recruited 80 patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease, Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 to 4, on stable medication.

Long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock due to acute pump failure.

Background:: Cardiogenic shock remained the leading cause of death in ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients even in the primary percutaneous coronary intervention era.

Methods:: Among 3942 STEMI patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 h after symptom-onset in the Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto acute myocardial infarction registry, the study population of the current analysis consisted of 466 STEMI patients who were complicated by cardiogenic shock due to acute pump failure.

Results:: The cumulative incidence of all-cause death of cardiogenic shock due to acute pump failure was 25.
